«Next year,» he said in the video.
The whole ordeal started over the holiday weekend. Stallings, who finished tied for 27th at the 2012 Masters, shared on social media that he was looking for the wild card «five times a day» when he received an unexpected message.
«Hi Scott. My name is also Scott Stallings and I’m from GA. My wife’s name is also Jennifer! Her IG is [redacted]. We have a condo in [redacted] and today I received a FedEx from the Masters inviting me to play in the Master’s (sic) Tournament April 6-9, 2023. I am (100%) sure this is NOT for me. I play but wow!» the message read. «Nowhere near your level. It’s a very nice package complete with everything you need to attend. I think we have some confusion about our names, our wife’s names and geographic location. I can be contacted at [redacted] and I am more than happy to finish this package for you.»
