I think I got all the Masters qualifiers, either though a former champ, or a win on Tour since the Masters, or a Top 4 finish in the USOpen, Open Champ, or PGA or a top 12 finish in the 2014 Masters or a place in the the Tour Championship (Hello Henley, Tringale, Ogilvy, and Hoffmann)

Doobie, Stricker, and Donaldson have probably accumulated enough OWGR points to be in the top 50 by year end, but they are not yet qualified.  Poulter and Donald have some work to do!  Westwood is in via T7 at the Masters.

GPB,
Poulter has his annuity coming up at the HSBC-Champions. Plus a lucrative ET year-end schedule. Miss out at this lot and he'll drop like a stone, may even have to play some West Coast events to get his FedEx season going.

Kwini, IJP is unable to cash in on his OWGR annuity from the World Challenge this year.  He played it both in 2012 and 2013.  Thats a guaranteed 2.4 points, for finishing last, and he got 3.74 pts two years ago for finishing next to last.

IJP's website is down, so I don't know what his schedule is.  I suspect IJP is playing the BMW Masters but that tournament has not put out a preliminary field yet (at least I haven't been able to locate it)

and of course IJP has new equipment, which may not be a good thing.  

I will try to put out an updated rankings after Vegas

GPB,
Ties for 5th, 9th and 13th in the VWMPC.

Well done Mikko . . . . . Masters for him! Any sort of decent play the next few months and he'll be in all the 2015 Majors.

Yep, Mikko has virtually clinched a spot in the top 50 at year end. Should be 37th tomorrow.

Mikko has not played the Masters since 2001 when he got an amateur invite from winning the Amateur Championship in 2000.

14 years between invites. Probably not a record. but still noteworthy.
