Earlier this week, Augusta National announced it extended special invitations to two up-and-coming pro golfers, LIV Golf’s Joaquin Niemann and the PGA Tour’s Nicolai Hojgaard, to compete in the 2025 edition of golf’s first major.

Joaquin Niemann is headed back to the Masters. He's still the only LIV Golf player to get a special invitation from Augusta National.

LIV Golf's Joaquin Niemann was among two golfers who accepted a special invitation to compete in this year's Masters as part of the tournament's tradition of inviting leading international players who are not otherwise qualified for the event.

For the second straight year, Joaquin Niemann is heading to the Masters with a special invitation. Fred Ridley, the chairman of Augusta National Golf Club, announced Wednesday that Niemann and Nicolai Hojgaard would receive special exemptions to compete in the 2025 Masters,

Niemann and Hojgaard accepted special invitations to participate in the April 10-13 major at Augusta National.
