2027 Masters: Austin Smotherman still fighting for Augusta invite despite back-to-back fall wins
Austin Smotherman won for the first time in Utah making his 100th career PGA Tour start. He followed it up with another win in Bermuda. Despite the fall breakout, he remains outside looking in on a first trip to Augusta National.
Austin Smotherman, a 32-year-old Tour player, is looking to secure an invite to the Masters in 2027 despite already having a spot through 2029. Since his first career win at the Bank of Utah Championship, Smotherman has won twice more in quick succession, including a victory at the Bermuda Championship. This puts him in contention for a Masters invite if he finishes inside the top 50 of the Official World Golf Ranking.
However, missing two cuts could jeopardize his position in the points standings and potentially cost him the opportunity to play in the Masters. Smotherman remains optimistic, stating that he will do his best to secure as many World Ranking points as possible in the coming weeks.
