Masters invite for Els

Four-time major champion Ernie Els has received a special exemption to compete in next year’s Masters, multiple websites reported on Monday. Golfweek, Golf Digest and Golf magazine reported that his management had confirmed the 48-year-old South African had been given a special entry into the field for next April’s major championship at Augusta National Golf Club. “Thank you for a Great Xmas present! @TheMasters Can’t wait!” Els tweeted on Sunday. The special invitation was the first issued by the Masters since Japan’s Ryo Ishikawa received one in 2013. Els played what he thought would be his final Masters last April, his last entry into the Augusta National field from a five-year exemption after winning the 2012 British Open.
