Augusta sends a Masters invitation to the wrong person
An amateur golfer got the shock of his life when he received an invitation to play in the Masters Tournament.
Scott Stallings had been checking the mail for a Masters Innovation for some time. Having reached the Tour Championship in 2022, the final event of the PGA Tour season, Stallings qualified for a spot in the field at Augusta National in April.
After checking his mailbox “five times a day”. Stallings received an unexpected message from a different Scott Stallings via Twitter.
“Hi Scott. My name is Scott Stallings as well and I’m from GA.” the man wrote. “My wife’s name is Jennifer too!”
“I received a FedEx today from the Masters inviting me to play in the Masters Tournament April 6-9, 2023. I’m 100% sure this is NOT for me. I play but wow! No where near your level.”

Stallings the pro golfer has now been sent the invitation – much to the chagrin of the imposter.
