Stallings tweeted that he had been “checking the mailbox five times a day” for his invitation - hardly surprising if you're a professional golfer hoping to play in one of the world's most prestigious tournament. And then, out of the blue, he received a message on Twitter from another Scott Stallings.


The three-time PGA Tour winner posted the message from the other Stallings which said: “Hi Scott. My name is Scott Stallings as well and I’m from GA. My wife’s name is Jennifer too!! I received a FedEx today from the Masters inviting me to play in the Master’s Tournament April 6-9, 2023. I’m 100 percent sure this is NOT for me. I play but wow! Nowhere near your level. It’s a very nice package complete with everything needed to attend. I think we have some confusion because of our names, our wife’s names and geographical location.”


He then attached a picture of the invitation adding: “I’m really not kidding I promise.”
