Qualification Rules to be Changed for The Masters Golf Tournament?

If the qualification rules get really changed, I will be happy. This kind of change will make the tournament more attractive.

PGA.com reported:

Augusta National is expected to change its criteria so that PGA Tour winners -- at least some of them -- would qualify for the Masters. There were eight tour winners since the previous Masters who are not eligible, and it's tough to feel sorry for any of them except John Senden of Australia.

Three winners won opposite-field events (D.J. Trahan, Will MacKenzie and Eric Axley). Two winners didn't have another top-10 over the last year (Jeff Maggert and Mark Wilson). Corey Pavin's only other top 10 was at Pebble Beach, where he finished nine shots behind. Charley Hoffman had three other top 10s, one of those in the autumn (Las Vegas) and another opposite the Ryder Cup (Texas Open).

Let us wait and see if the qualification rules really get changed.
