Will Tony Finau play at the 2023 Masters?

Tony Finau, 33, gained popularity through numerous memorable PGA tour performances. However, there are several other players who are ahead of the golfer on the OWGR leaderboard. But that has not affected his loyalty towards the PGA Tour. Despite several rumors of him getting huge offers from LIV Golf, the golfer decided to stick to his legacy over everything else. However, he mentioned that he misses his fellow players, especially Brooks Koepka, who has shifted to the Saudi League.

But despite him being on the PGA Tour, fans are currently trying to figure out if they’ll catch some action from the player at the 2023 Masters Tournament. According to the qualification criteria, all previous year champions are invited to participate in the prestigious event. However, there are several other ways for professionals to qualify. And one of them is to have an exemption for individual PGA Tour winners with a full-point allocation for the season-ending Tour Championship. Luckily, Finau meets that requirement!
