Christmas is right here, and everyone is excited about it. However, the most excited person must be Bryson DeChambeau, as Christmas came early this year for him. Why? According to his latest Twitter post, he has received an invitation for Masters 2023. A victory for all LIV players no one ever thought we would witness. And golf fans could not stop themselves.

When LIV golf came into the picture, many pro golfers like Phil Mickelson, Bubba Watson, and DeChambeau left the PGA tour and joined LIV. It threatened the American tour as they lost their precious players. However, as a result, Jay Monahan banned every player who joined the Saudi-backed tour, and they were never allowed to return to the American Circuit. The LIV players also lost the opportunity to be part of any major tournament because they needed to fulfill eligibility criteria.

The Christmas snow touched the ground, and Santa brought an early present for LIV golfers. Masters decided to invite the Saudi-backed circuit players to Augusta international for 2023. They wanted to bring together “a pre-eminent field of golfers,” and the decision was taken. According to authorities, inviting Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, and Sergio Garcia is also in the books as they are eligible under the current criteria.

Many golf fans did not approve of the invitation. They are unhappy that LIV golfers will get the opportunity with less effort than the PGA player.
