So does every golfer. You will need to qualify for The Masters or get invited to play by a member.
You either need to be playing in the Masters, become a member or be invited by a member.
Augusta National Golf Club, sometimes referred to as Augusta or the National, is a golf club in Augusta, Georgia, United States.
Membership is by invitation only, there is no application process. Women are not allowed to be members of this club. In 2012, only two women were invited, Condolezza Rice and Darla Moore, both not ordinary, hence the club is closed as far as the females are concerned. Also they have just 300 members at a given time, further narrowing the chance to make it.

It's not that he "wasn't allowed" to join, he wasn't nominated for membership. You do not choose to join Augusta National, they choose you. He has yet to be invited.
Step 1. Become filthy rich. Step 2. Cultivate friends who are members of Augusta National. Step 3. Shmooze heavily. There are a few other ways. Dwight Eisenhower was able to play Augusta because he was a war hero and President. To follow that route, ask your Congressman to appoint you to West Point, study hard, and hope for another World War just as your career is reaching its peak. Simply being President doesn't seem to be enough. I don't think they ever invited Bill Clinton to play. Seriously, Augusta is incredibly exclusive and snobbish. Asking won't get you much of anywhere.
Though the list has not been confirmed....it is believed that he is a member along with Warren Buffett
Only if you are invited by a club member.
