Masters invite chase

Two wins in, Austin Smotherman still chasing a Masters invite

GNN Desk card: 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.
