To qualify for a Golf major, players typically must meet certain criteria, such as having a specific world ranking or earning a spot through a series of qualifying events. Major tournaments like The Masters invite players based on their past performances, including major wins, and top finishes in professional tours. Additionally, amateur golfers can qualify through prestigious amateur championships. Each major has its own set of eligibility rules, so it's important for players to check the specific requirements for each tournament.
