How do you qualify to play in golf tournaments?
There are many ways to get in and it can get very confusing.
Place yourself in the top 8 of the US open, or win one of the
four 'Major' titles, ie: British Open, The PGA championship. Or
finish in the top four and you will get an invite for the next
year. If you win the Players Championship (Sawgrass) you will be
invited for the next three years.
Finish in the top 30 of the Official PGA Tour cash List for the
year. Then your Masters invite for the next year is guaranteed
Finish in the top 50 players of the Final Official World Golf
Ranking (Taken from the week before The Masters starts)

The Masters Committee has the discretion to invite any
international players who don't otherwise qualify. ( they say
they're trying to get the best field of players)
Win The Masters and get a lifetime invitation (any top 15 player
is invited back next year)
