The 2025 Masters is all set to begin this week on April 10 at the Augusta National Golf Club. The field has 95 golfers, with a good mix of pros (90) and amateurs (five). Jose Luis Ballester, Evan Beck, Justin Hastings, Noah Kent and Hiroshi Tai are the five amateurs in the field this week.

The Spanish golfer Ballester made it to the 2025 Masters by winning the U.S. Amateur at Hazeltine. He became the first Spanish golfer to win the U.S. Amateur and the second player, after Jon Rahm, to win a USGA tournament. He beat the American Noah Kent in the final by remaining 2-up, with both finalists making it to the Augusta Nationals.

The third amateur, Evan Beck, won the U.S. Mid-Amateur by beating Bobby Massa 9&8 in the finals at the Kinloch Golf Club in Virginia. This victory gave him a spot at the 2025 Masters along with the 2025 U.S. Open.

Justin Hastings is the second golfer from the Cayman Islands, after Aaron Jarvis, to compete in the Masters. He won the Latin America Amateur Championship at Pilar Golf Club and qualified to compete at Augusta National Golf Club this week.
