One short of 90 players are expected to tee it up at the 2024 Masters on Thursday.
A total of 106 players - including past champions with lifetime exemptions - have been invited to play at the 2024 Masters but only 89 of those invitees are listed as competing.
Going into last week's Valero Texas Open, there were 88 scheduled to play before Akshay Bhatia held off Denny McCarthy to secure his place.

Niall Lyons has now made his five betting selections for the first major of the year.
Niall's biggest bet of the week is on Xander Schauffele, who has finished inside the top 20 in 72% of his 55 starts since the start of 2022.
Meanwhile, his biggest priced bet is on a past champion at odds of 100/1 (Sky Bet and William Hill) who has been playing 'sneaky good' over the last six months.
