AUGUSTA National Golf Club announced Tuesday that winners of six national opens will earn invitations to the Masters starting in 2026.

The Scottish Open, Spanish Open, Japan Open, Hong Kong Open, Australian Open and South African Open will see their winners awarded with a Masters invitation.

The announcement was made in conjunction with the R&A, which qualifies golfers for The Open Championship through the R&A's Open Qualifying Series, which consists of 15 tournaments across 13 countries.

Per Augusta National GC, the winners of the PGA Tour's seven FedEx Fall tournaments will no longer earn a free pass to the Masters if they haven't otherwise qualified. The fall tournaments are the Procore Championship, Sanderson Farms Championship, Baycurrent Classic, Bank of Utah Championship, World Wide Technology Championship, Butterfield Bermuda Championship and the RSM Classic.

"The Masters Tournament has long recognized the significance of having international representation among its invitees," said Fred Ridley, chairman of Augusta National GC and the Masters Tournament.

"We, along with the R&A, have a shared commitment to the global game and are proud to work together. Today's announcement strengthens our organizations' collective vision of rewarding top talent around the world who rise to the top of historic national open championships. We hope this formal recognition shines a bright light on these players and the events they will represent at the Masters and The Open, beginning next year."
