Time running out to qualify for Masters

Time is running out to qualify for the 2017 Masters.
 
There are only five tournaments remaining that golfers can win and earn their way to Augusta National for the 81st edition of the Masters.
 
Players can also obtain an invitation if they are in the top 50 of the World Golf Ranking published March 27.
 
As it stands now, 87 golfers are qualified for the year’s first major. Traditionally, the Masters likes to keep its field size under 100 players. That shouldn’t be a problem this year.
 
A total of 16 first-time participants will play in this year’s Masters, including all five amateurs who have qualified.
 
England’s Danny Willett will defend his title when the tournament is played April 6-9.
