Augusta National Golf Club has added several members this year, giving a few more people exclusive access to the hallowed grounds that are home to The Masters.

SBJ reports that a few huge names are set to join Augusta National as members, giving them access to the course and giving them what is one of the most exclusive memberships in the golf world.

Here’s who is joining the club:

Sean McManus

McManus joins Augusta National after retiring from CBS Sports as Chairman. He is a longtime golfer and headlines the 2024 class of new members.

Andy Jassy

After taking over Amazon after founder Jeff Bezos relinquished the helm, Jassy now has his newest membership, Augusta National. It’s perhaps the only thing better than Prime in this day and age.

Exclusive Membership

Augusta National only brings in a handful of new members each year, and they are typically notified in September, which comes ahead of the start of play in October.

The club has undergone some serious work over the past months as Hurricane Helene caused some substantial damage to Augusta National. However, it appears the clean up has already been completed.

The Masters is still expected to be played on time in April, Chairman Fred Ridley said.

Joey Klender is a reporter covering Equipment, Footwear, and Apparel. A huge golf fan, he calls a certain week in April his favorite of the year. Inspired by the likes of Woods, Palmer, McIlroy, and Koepka, Joey plays over 100 times a year in the South Central Pennsylvania area. When he isn't golfing, he is probably thinking about golfing, but he might be watching other sports, writing, or playing poker.
