Blog Article
Joaquin Niemann (Chile), who plays in LIV Golf, and Nikolai Hoigor (Denmark), ranked 60th in the world, will participate in the Dream Stage Masters.
Fred Ridley, chairman of Augusta National Golf Club, which hosts the Masters, announced on the 9th (Korea time) that "We accept Niemann and Hoigor's special invitation to the 2025 Masters," adding, "We have tried to increase interest in golf and have invited players who do not have tickets. We welcome Hoigor and Niemann back to the Masters, and both players have competed on stages around the world and demonstrated their talents."
As of the end of December last year, 23-year-old Hoigor failed to qualify for the Masters because he was not ranked within the top 50. He is currently ranked 60th. He tied for 16th at last year's Masters and tied for 7th at the Paris Olympics. As his twin brother Rasmus will debut at the Masters in April, he will be the first competition where twin brothers will compete on the same stage for the first time in this year's Masters.
Niemann, who plays in LIV Golf, received a special invitation to the Masters for the second consecutive year following last year. Niemann advanced to the finals in all four major competitions last year and has been listed in the top 25 for the past two years at the Masters. He ranks 71st in the world as of Friday, but his ranking has fallen behind due to his active career in LIV Golf. In December last year, he won the title at the Saudi Asian Tour International Series, and posted an even record by ranking seventh at the DP World Tour Championship and fifth at the Australian Open.
Niemann first made his Masters debut as Latin American Amateur Champion in 2018, and is set to make his sixth appearance this year.
With Niemann and Hoigor's invitation, 87 players have been listed so far. Three Korean players, Im Sung-jae, Kim Joo-hyung, and Ahn Byung-hoon, have secured berths.
