Els and Goosen among those that could miss Masters

The 2011 season has come to an end and two big names of the game could be left out of the Masters come April -- Ernie Els and Retief Goosen.

Both players having very down years, were unable to finish inside the top-50 in the Official World Golf Rankings. Which would have assured both players a spot at Augusta in 2012.

Els, fell to 56th in the ranking as Goosen resides in the 53rd spot as the last OWGR were released on Sunday for 2011.

Both players of course can still qualify for the Masters. Needing to win a PGA Tour event (except opposite WGC events) the week before the Masters.

Or, by gaining enough points to get back into the top-50 in the OWGR. Again, a week before the Masters.

Other bigger name players that are not yet in the 2012 Masters include: Ryo Ishikawa, Ben Crane, Ryan Moore, Matteo Manassero, Robert Allenby, Anthony Kim and Camilo Villegas.
