With the final worldwide tournaments of 2018 in the books, it's now known how the Official World Golf Ranking will shape up heading into the new year. And the results mean that veterans Emiliano Grillo and Branden Grace are among a group of players who can officially book travel plans for the Masters.
The top 50 in the year-end OWGR earn an exemption into the first three majors of the year, with the most exclusive invitation being the one they receive from Augusta National Golf Club. Barely making it inside the cutoff are Grillo, who started the year ranked 73rd but will end it 47th after four top-15 finishes in his last five starts, and Grace, who did just enough over the last two weeks in South Africa to end the year ranked No.
