It's rare to have a player in the top 40 missing from the Masters, much less four of them.
Rarer still is to show up at Augusta National and notice who's missing.
That element won't change, especially with so much anticipation from waiting 18 months to hear: "Fore, please. Tiger Woods now driving." And with so much intrigue about chasing a green jacket two weeks before Thanksgiving.
The chase will not include Daniel Berger, the No. 13 player in the world.
Berger received more attention from being left off the November invitation list than if he had been playing in the Masters.
