Masters invite chase
Two wins in, Austin Smotherman still chasing a Masters invite

Two wins in 2026 have made Austin Smotherman a champion. They have not yet made him a Masters invitee.
Golf Channel reported that Smotherman is still fighting for his first Masters invite, even after winning back-to-back.
That is the gap in his season: the wins are on the board, and the invitation to Augusta is not.
Two wins, still no Masters invite.
GNN lists both of his 2026 wins: the Bank of Utah Championship and the Butterfield Bermuda Championship.
Two trophies are in hand. The invitation is not.
