An invitation to the 2023 Masters was sent to the wrong Scott Stallings

If you share a name with a professional golfer, check your mail, you might have a Masters invitation waiting for you.

Let’s set the scene: Imagine you’re three-time PGA Tour winner Scott Stallings.

You haven’t won since 2014 but last season you finished runner-up at the BMW Championship in the FedEx Cup Playoffs and earned a career-high seven top-10 finishes. For your efforts you took home a cool $3,933,593 over the season, but more importantly you finished top 30 in the race for the FedEx Cup, earning an invitation to the 2023 Masters.

Stallings finished T-27 in his Masters debut in 2012 and missed the cut in his only other appearance in 2014, so one can only imagine he’s been checking the mail for his cordial invitation from Augusta National like Clark Griswold waiting for his holiday bonus in Christmas Vacation.

Augusta National sent the invitation to Stallings, just the wrong one.

For anyone out there who has the same name as a professional golfer, check your mail, you might have an invitation to the Masters waiting for you.

PGA Tour, LIV Golf and college players share 2023 Masters invitations

The Masters is creeping ever closer.

It’s the most wonderful time of the year.

As the holiday season rolls on, a group of elite golfers received a coveted gift in the mail from Augusta, Georgia.

The Masters sent out invitations last week ahead of the 2023 tournament, meaning golfers who received them are in the field at Augusta National come April. Those who received invites include those inside the top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking, past champions and more.

Even LIV golfers took to social media to show off their invitations, after Augusta National announced last week there would be no change in qualification criteria for the 2023 Masters.

Here’s a look at some golfers who took to social media to show off their invitations.
