Basically, were Senior Tour winners of a certain senior major ever on the Masters invitee list? Or. was I dreaming?

No. Augusta does not send invitations to Senior Tour Champions. There are only 17 set criteria for invitation, listed below. The only other way of playing is to get a special invitation from the club, which I cannot recall them doing for any Senior Major Winners.1. Masters Tournament Champions (Lifetime)
2. US Open Champions (Honorary, non-competing after 5 years)
3. British Open Champions (Honorary, non-competing after 5 years)
4. PGA Champions (Honorary, non-competing after 5 years)
5. Winners of The Players Championship (3 years)
6. Current US Amateur Champion (6-A) (Honorary, non-competing after 1 year) and the runner-up (6-B) to the current US Amateur Champion
7. Current British Amateur Champion (Honorary, non-competing after 1 year)
8. Current US Amateur Public Links Champion
9. Current US Mid-Amateur Champion
