Masters unlikely to change eligibility criteria, Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley says

The Masters is unlikely to make any changes to its eligibility criteria for next year's tournament, Augusta National chairman Fred Ridley said Thursday, which means fewer players from LIV Golf will be competing in the year's first major. Only past Masters champions and recent major champions are eligible among current LIV players. The Masters invites winners of PGA Tour events and players ranked in the top 50 in the world, among other qualifying criteria.
