These 17 past Masters champions will not play Augusta National in 2026

[ASFN Admin]

One of the great traditions of the Masters is the return each year to competition of the tournament's past champions. But eventually, some of those who have won a green jacket no longer take part.

In 2026, at the 90th playing of the Masters Tournament, there will be 17 past champions teeing it up, but there will also be 17 not competing.

Two of them – Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson – have a combined eight green jackets.

These are the past champs not playing and how old they are.
