I’ve received the invite a while ago and still cannot find my name in the invite list. Am I looking in the wrong area?
did you check this page - for the Pro listings? https://www.discgolfscene.com/tournaments/2023_PDGA_Professional_Masters_Disc_Golf_World_Championships_2023/invitations
Right, you are a Pro-class member so you are on the invite list for Pro Masters, not Amateur Masters. Both are available from this page: https://www.pdga.com/2023mastersworlds
Thank you Gentlemen. I am so confused as to why I would get an invite when my rating doesn’t match up to the requirement. In addition to not finding my name on the list prior. Alas, I’m out of this one as it seems too fishy.
OK, there seems to be some serious confusion here. There is no rating requirement for an invite to Pro Masters Worlds, such an invite has nothing to do with your player rating, it's based on the pro points you earned during 2022. The requirement for MP50 was 200 Pro points, you earned 306, so ... more

Player ratings only come into play if you are already invited AND you are in the top 5% by rating of those invited in which case you get an early registration tier.
And you didn't find your name on the list prior because you probably were looking at the wrong list. You were likely either looking at the Pro Worlds invite list or the Amateur Masters Worlds invite list. I guarantee you have been on the Pro Masters invite list since it was posted. I know this because I'm the person that calculates the Worlds invites and creates the lists.
That was concisely described and totally understood. My appreciation to you Mr. Sweeton. I believe I need to prepare and educate myself more as I am not at the pro level for my new class yet. My hope is to get to that rating requirement for a hopeful invite next year. Thank you so much for your informative reply. I hope we can communicate next year. ThNx again Sir.
