File-This Nov. 1, 2018, file photo shows Graeme McDowell, of Northern Ireland, watching his drive off the 12th tee during the third round of the RSM Classic golf tournament in St. Simons Island, Ga. &quot;Getting my playing privileges was a huge goal this year. It's a goal I've never had before,&quot; McDowell said. &quot;When you're in the top 50 in the world and you're playing WGCs and majors, it's amazing how the points and money toward your playing privileges just kind of come automatically. But all of a sudden when you're grinding, when you're asking for invites like I've been doing this year, I felt like I had this monkey on my back that I couldn't shake off.&quot; (AP Photo/Stephen B.

File-This July 20, 2017, file photo shows South Africa's Ernie Els playing a tee shot on the 5th hole during the first round of the British Open Golf Championship, at Royal Birkdale, Southport, England. Els says received an invitation to Augusta National the first week in April. It just wasn’t an invitation to play in the Masters. Els had to clarify a tweet from Sunday, Dec. 24, 2017, that said, “Thank you for a Great Xmas present! @TheMasters Can't wait!” That led several media sites to post stories that the four-time major champion had received a special exemption into the Masters. Instead, Els had received a letter welcoming him as an honorary invitee. His five-year exemption into the Masters from his 2012 British Open victory ended last year. (AP Photo/Dave Thompson, File)
