Default golf question

Kev or anyone else feel free to answer

It looks like Tiger is coming back at the Masters


my question is since the Masters is an invitational event (it has exmpetions that you can get) did the comittee have the option to not invite him at all this year even though he has an exemption?

for those of you who don't follow golf the masters has nothing to do with the usga or the pga tour - they have this 1 event a yr and the members call all the shots and report to no one

Isn't the Masters an event that if you win you have a lifetime exemption?

Yes, I think so.

But Sir thinks he can golf and shot a 90 this weekend will answer surely.

nick you are correct - im not saying he doesn't have an exemption this year or any year in the future he has an exemption

but you still have to get the invitation every year , the question that maybe only gpk would know the answer to is - do they have to send him an invitation?

my guess and it could be wrong is that they don't have to send an invitation to anybody even if they are exempt

Augusta National is sovereign over their tourney, they will do whatever they want and have to answer to nobody.
