The Masters is one of the most respected major tournaments. Winning the prestigious Green Jacket is the dream of every golfer. This year this dream was lived by Jon Rahm. And the preparations for the next year are underway. And in the current environment of chilling winter and Christmas spirit, the Masters’ committee has given a reminder of spring by announcing the arrival of the next Augusta.
The official page of Masters on X (formerly known as Twitter) shared a post in which they wrote, “A welcome reminder that spring is just around the corner.” Also present in the post was a video that pans out from a little toy Santa standing in front of a fireplace. As the video zooms out, it shows a tiny cushion with the Augusta’s flag embedded over it.
The video ends on an invitation card for the tournament and on it, there is a message that says the event will be held from 11th to 14th April – “The Board of Governors of the Augusta National Golf Club cordially invites you to participate in the 2024 Masters Tournament to be held at Augusta, Georgia the 11th, 12th, 13th and 14th of April.”

The invitation was signed off by Fred S Ridley, Chairman of the board.It indeed, is exciting news. Hardcore fans who especially wait for these tournaments are eagerly waiting to purchase tickets.
Fans can’t wait for Augusta but also don’t want to see Rahm there
Since it’s Christmas, many fans feel that ticket for the event will be the perfect holiday gift for them. However, some also feel that Jon Rahm shouldn’t return as defending champion.
This fan was born in the same year that Masters started, and now they are both turning 58 together and he is nostalgic.
Born in Augusta, now 58. Still can't get in, even for a practice day.

While this user suggested the committee to take a look outside PGA and also take LIV Golfers, since they also have some strong players.
go outside the OWGR and get more LIV guys in the field. Because the field will look a bit weak…

This fan who is outraged by Jon Rahm’s ditching the PGA Tour suggested not to invite him for the major.
Don’t invite the defending champion
