Masters 2026: Only 10 LIV Golf members are in the field at Augusta National this spring

It’s Masters week, but only 10 LIV Golf members are joining the rest of the golf world at Augusta National this spring. Led by Bryson DeChambeau and Jon Rahm, this group is the smallest number of golfers from the Saudi Arabian-backed circuit to compete in the Masters since the league was founded. Only a dozen were in the field last year, and two golfers — Carlos Ortiz and Tom McKibbin — are set to make their Masters debut.

Now, a few LIV Golf members are either away from the sport currently or have recently stepped away from that league, which has hurt their numbers. Brooks Koepka returned to the PGA Tour earlier this spring, and Patrick Reed is planning to this fall after his split with LIV Golf. Phil Mickelson is out, too, due to a “personal health matter” in his family.

This will be the first Masters since 1994 without either Mickelson or Tiger Woods . While the number of LIV Golf members with status in the majors keeps dwindling, and hopes of a true merger seem completely gone, the golf world is back together briefly once again. Here’s a look at the 10 LIV Golf members competing for a green jacket this week in Georgia.

Rahm ended his dry spell on LIV Golf with a win in Hong Kong earlier this season, and he’s finished inside the top five in all five of his LIV Golf starts in 2026.
