Qatar Masters

I've just looked at the tee times for this event tomorrow. 1st group out is only a 2ball with the rest of the field in 3's. Seems a bit strange, any ideas why 1 more player hasn't been added to the field?

Maybe no "alternates" made the trip as its a one week swing and then off to Kenya for a couple of weeks.
Quarantine rules may have made it difficult to go there with no place guaranteed

I think you must be right Ian. The last listed player on the entry list is in the field but when I looked last week there were quite a few outside the cut off point. Like you say, guess a few decided not to make the trip. Surprised they haven't brought in a local invitee though.

Maybe there isn't one!
Qatar not exactly renowned for Tour Pros. Or any Pros for that matter.

Could have invited the last monthly medal winner ?

Somebody failed a Covid test?

Some guy I don't think I've heard off.
Positive test at the airport
European Tour announced it earlier
