The 2022 Masters Tournament field is closer to being set, with the final deadline to make the field being the PGA Tour's Valero Texas Open.
The Masters will be played April 7-10 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Ga., in its traditional slot as the first men's major of the year.
As of Feb. 17, 2022, there are 88 players in the competition.
Among those in the invitation-only field include defending champion Hideki Matsuyama, Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm, Phil Mickelson, Jordan Spieth, Jason Day, Rory McIlroy and Justin Thomas. The full world top 50 at the end of 2021 and the week before the 2022 Masters qualify.
The traditional invitation criteria have been applied, with PGA Tour winners between now and the Masters eligible to join the field.
Tiger Woods remains in the field, although it seems unlikely that he'll play in the first men's major of the year. Phil Mickelson, however, has been removed from the field and listed as a past champion not competing this year. He will miss the Masters for the first time since 1994.
