2024 Masters: Meet the 5 amateurs teeing it up at Augusta National

One of the best parts of Masters week is getting to follow the amateurs in the field.

For some, it’s their first time at the famed Masters tournament in what each hopes will be a long stretch of making the trek down Magnolia Lane every April.

The five ams will compete for the title of low amateur. If they make the 36-hole cut, then they will battle for the Silver Cup. There is no low amateur awarded if none make the cut.

An amateur has never won the major, but the tournament has plenty of history involving ams, including the famed Crow’s Nest, the living space on the third floor of the Augusta National clubhouse, and the Monday night Amateur Dinner.

And don’t forget, Nick Dunlap would’ve been the sixth amateur in the field before turning professional in January.

Here’s a look at the five amateurs competing in the 88th Masters Tournament.
