Rules are Rules

Masters 2023: Augusta National's rules for how instructors can work with players is as detailed as you'd think

AUGUSTA, Ga. — They do like their rules at the Augusta National Golf Club. Spectators. Media. Support staff. Competitors. No matter who you are, or why you are attending the Masters, you are compelled to live tournament life within the club’s specifically outlined parameters. No doubt you are familiar with many of them: No running, no cell phones, “patrons” not “fans,” “first cut” not “rough.”

But a less familiar example might be the “rules” regarding a small but notable subset among the folks at Augusta National this week: swing instructors who have a player in the exclusive field. As a prelude to their arrival at the golf course, coaches received an email from the club outlining just what they will be able to do during tournament week. And, of course, the somewhat lengthy list of things they absolutely cannot do.

“Your player,” says the email, “has officially registered you as part of his support team for the Masters Tournament. As such, the enclosed documents detail information we believe physiotherapists and instructors will find useful in your Masters Tournament planning.”

The email continues:

“As a reminder, players shall be directly responsible for the employment, conduct and behavior of the instructors they have requested to be credentialed.”

After a couple of logistic paragraphs detailing the collection of said credentials, the first of ANGC’s many committees makes an appearance, and the fine print starts to be revealed.

“As customary, our Practice Activities Committee will manage practice range access and all Masters Tournament protocols will be enforced. A designated location for instructors waiting on their player (player support waiting area) has been set aside at the northern end of the player parking lot with food and beverage available daily.”

The rules regarding what instructors can and cannot due on the range are rather serious at Augusta National.

Jared C. Tilton

In other words, says one instructor with long-time experience of Masters week, “don’t be standing around making the range look untidy when your player is a little late.”

Things get more complicated when it comes to some of the “equipment” an instructor might wish to employ when doing his job.

“The Tournament credential issued to instructors permits the entry of laptops, tablets, video cameras, Trackman or other electronic devices specifically used for instruction purposes on the practice tee when entering through Gate 4. Cell phones are not classified as teaching equipment and will not be permitted through any gate for instructors. Should you use an entry gate other than Gate 4, please note that equipment will not be permitted through the gate.”

Once you’ve brought equipment in through the proper gate, however, its use is also subject to some specific—some might say extreme—restrictions, particularly when it comes to work on the practice green.

“Information about the putting greens including, but not limited to slope, speed or firmness measurements, green mapping or other digital information is proprietary to Augusta National Golf Club and the Masters Tournament. The policy does not permit any Stimpmeter or similar device (such as a GC Quad, Trackman, Perfect Putter etc) capable of measuring or recording the physical condition or characteristics of any putting green to be used on the practice or course putting green by a player, caddie or instructor.”

You might recall Augusta National, unlike other tournaments on the PGA Tour, did not provide green-reading books even before the USGA/R&A became more restrictive about their use. Masters officials are especially particular about what information players can use/glean about their typically speedy putting surfaces. Why any of this might matter when, as every player is quick to relate, the speed of the Augusta greens changes markedly during tournament week—especially between the practice days and Thursday’s opening round—is hard to imagine.

Anyway, the e-mail concludes with one last warning.

“The Masters Tournament appreciates your assistance and asks that all instructors follow the protocols outlined in this document. Any violation that is observed and reported by Tournament Officials, staff, volunteers or security personnel may result in the loss of your credential privileges for the week.”

So there it is. Welcome to the Masters. Proceed with caution.

How do you qualify for the Masters field? Here’s a list of the criteria

There’s no tournament more anticipated than the Masters , and even for seasoned pros, scoring an invitation is reason for celebration.

But how does a player qualify for the Masters?

Though it’s a major championship, the Masters is also an invitational, so the tournament field is assembled at the discretion of the Masters Committee. That said, the Committee has established criteria for players to earn an invitation to compete at Augusta National .

How to qualify for the Masters

Winning the Masters earns the champion a lifetime exemption into the field — the most generous exemption in the world of golf. Many former champions continue to play the Masters even though they are long past their prime. Earlier this year, 64-year-old Larry Mize announced that the 2023 Masters will be his last. This year will mark 40 consecutive Masters for Mize, who won his green jacket in 1987.

Win one of the other three majors

Players who win one of the other three majors (PGA Championship, U.S. Open and Open Championship) are awarded a five-year exemption into the Masters field.

Win the Players Championship

Winners of the Players Championship can enjoy a three-year exemption into the Masters.

Win Olympic gold

The Olympic gold medalist can enjoy a one-year exemption into the Masters field.

The hardest shots the pros will face at the Masters (according to the teachers who coach them)

Win (or finish runner-up) in an elite amateur tournament

Winners of the U.S. Amateur Championship, British Amateur, Asia-Pacific Amateur, Latin American Amateur and U.S. Mid-Amateur are invited to play the Masters. Traditionally, the U.S. Amateur runner-up is also invited.

Play well in the majors

The top-12 finishers (including ties) at each year’s Masters are invited back the following year if they are not otherwise exempt. For the other major championships, it’s the top 4 and ties.

Win a PGA Tour tournament

Winners of PGA Tour events that received full FedEx Cup points are eligible for a spot in the Masters.

Qualify for the Tour Championship

The 30 players who qualify for the PGA Tour’s Tour Championship are exempt into the Masters field the following year.

Be a Top-50 player

The top 50-ranked players in the Official World Golf Ranking as of January 1 every year earn an exemption into the Masters field.

Be a Top-50 player the week before the Masters

Any player who enters the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking and who is not otherwise exempt the week before each Masters gets an invitation to join the field.

Catch the Masters Committee’s attention

The Masters Committee also reserves the right to extend an invitation to players that they feel are deserving of a place in the field. This year, Japanese pro Kazuki Higa and reigning NCAA champion Gordon Sargent accepted special invitations .

Welcome to St. Pete Masters

Founded in 1972, St. Pete Masters ( SPM ) is one of the oldest Masters swim clubs in the United States.  SPM operates as a registered non-profit organization that is overseen by a 9-member board elected by the membership.

Our current membership exceeds 200 with most residing in St. Petersburg and the Tampa Bay region. Per United States Masters Swimming (USMS) anyone age 18 or older may join with an annual membership. See associated fees on the Membership page.

The team is open to those wishing to compete, train for triathlons, and those who desire the camaraderie of workouts (especially social kicking), training with a group and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.  Team workouts are available to members Monday thru Friday both in the early morning and the late afternoon, and on Sunday morning. See workout schedule on the Membership page.  

In addition to working out together at the North Shore Aquatic Complex, SPM hosts two annual meets.  We encourage member participation by competing, timing, officiating, or helping with the many aspects of hosting a swim event.  We compete in many local meets held by other teams around Florida, and the annual postal events hosted by USMS.  We regularly have many members who travel to the annual USMS National Championship meets.  Many team members are also active in the open water and marathon swimming community and are always looking for new participants.

Aside from swimming we are a very social group.   SPM hosts an annual awards banquet, team holiday party, other organized evening social gatherings and even a morning coffee group.

How Masters Pairings and Tee Times Are Determined

Augusta National Officials Decide the Pairings at Masters Tournament

How are Masters pairings and tee times determined for the first two rounds of the golf major championship? Any darn way the Augusta National poobahs please—those club officials in charge of running the tournament make the pairings for the first two rounds. Once the third and fourth rounds arrive, however, the guidelines for setting the groupings of golfers and their start times revert to a set formula in use at all pro tournament.

An Augusta Committee Sets the Groupings and Times for Rounds 1 and 2

Augusta National Golf Club has a committee of members who meet and determine which players are grouped together in Rounds 1 and 2, and what those groupings' tee times will be. Those committee members exercise full authority, and have complete discretion to group players as they see fit.

Otherwise, Augusta National does not divulge any trade secrets about the process; they don't discuss it at all. But it's definitely not a random draw. The pairings and times are the result of consultation among the club's tournament committee members.

The One Traditional Pairing

There is one Masters pairing that is the same every year: The reigning U.S. Amateur champion (if he's still an amateur) plays Rounds 1 and 2 with the defending champion of The Masters .

(If the reigning U.S. Amateur winner turns pro prior to The Masters, he forfeits his spot in the tournament.)

The Pairings Process Also Considers Fans, TV Networks

The pairings and tee times at The Masters also take into account the needs of television broadcasters and of fans.

For example, the two biggest stars in the field are likely to play at opposite ends of the draw. Let's use Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods as examples. Most likely, one will play in the morning tee times and the other will play in the afternoon. This guarantees that one of the two biggest stars, either Mickelson or Woods in this example, will be playing during television coverage.

Those are the kinds of things the Augusta competition committee will think about when making the pairings. They also aren't immune to having a little fun in the first two rounds with "theme" groups. For example, in 2009 one of the early round groups was comprised of three young hotshots, Anthony Kim, Rory McIlroy and Ryo Ishikawa. Nothing random about that kind of grouping. It's a group that fans and the TV network will be happy with.

The committee might group three former champions together, or three winners of other majors, or three golfers of the same nationality. But most of the tee times won't have such a clear connection between the golfers within them.

Tee Time Intervals and Number of Golfers in the Pairing

First- and second-round groupings at The Masters include three players, and tee times are 11 minutes apart. For the final two rounds, after the cut, pairings are comprised of two golfers (unless weather delays create the need to stick with 3-man groups), and tee times are 10 minutes apart.

What About 3rd-, 4th-Round Pairings?

Pairings for Rounds 3 and 4 are based on scores; the better a golfer's score, the later his tee time. The golfer in last place after two rounds tees off first in Round 3; the golfer in first place after two rounds tees off last in Round 3. The same thing holds in the fourth and final round.

But what about ties? Let's say there are six golfers tied for the lead. In a case like that, the 3rd- and 4th-round pairings and tee times are based on the order in which those six golfers posted their scores. Among those six tied players, the one who posted the score first (the first one to finish his previous round, in other words) will tee off last among that group of players; the one who posted the score last will tee off first among that group of players.

Master Class Vol.5: Emanuel Lasker

The name Emanuel Lasker will always be linked with his incredible 27 years reign on the throne of world chess. In 1894, at the age of 25, he had already won the world title from Wilhelm Steinitz and his record number of years on the throne did not end till 1921 when Lasker had to accept the superiority of Jose Raul Capablanca. But not only had the only German world champion so far seen off all challengers for many years, he had also won the greatest tournaments of his age, sometimes with an enormous lead. The fascinating question is, how did he manage that?

Master Class Vol.4: José Raúl Capablanca

He was a child prodigy and he is surrounded by legends. In his best times he was considered to be unbeatable and by many he was reckoned to be the greatest chess talent of all time: Jose Raul Capablanca, born 1888 in Havana.
