Who are the amateurs in 2026 Masters field? Mason Howell, Ethan Fang lead group of in Augusta

One of the more exciting parts of the Masters every year is the battle of the amateurs, as the best of the bunch gets a seat in Butler Cabin at the end of the tournament. There are a handful of ways that an amateur can earn a spot in the Masters field, which include winning an amateur championship within the past year. For the 2026 Masters, the field includes six interesting amateurs who have a chance to make a name for themselves throughout the weekend.

Half of the amateurs in the field are currently in college, but there are a few who are not competing in the 2025-26 NCAA golf season. That includes one high-school golfer who will be attending college this fall, and another amateur who is almost two decades removed from his college experience. Get to know the six amateurs participating in the 90th Masters this weekend.
