The 2011 Masters Tournament is the 75th annual Masters Tournament and is being played from April 7–10, 2011. As it has been every year for decades, it is being played at Augusta National Golf Club, and as it has been every year for decades, it is the first major championship of the season.
Field
The Masters has the smallest field of the major championships. Officially the Masters remains an invitation event, but there is now a qualification process. In theory, the club could simply decline to invite a qualified player. Each player is classified according to the first category by which he qualified, but other categories are shown in parentheses.
Golfers who qualify based solely on their performance in amateur tournaments (categories 6-10) must remain amateurs on the starting day of the tournament to be eligible to play.
