Although James qualified for Jeopardy! Masters, he won’t be participating in the event because he decided not to.
On the Inside Jeopardy! Live on Tour podcast (shared by Jeopardy! via YouTube), the executive producers of Jeopardy! Masters, Sarah Whitcomb-Foss and Michael Davies, introduced the nine Jeopardy! Masters players. They include Victoria Groce, Yogesh Raut, Neilish Vinjamuri, Matt Amodio, Juveria Zaheer, Roger Craig, Isaac Hirsch, Adriana Harmeyer, and Brad Rutter. The producers also revealed that, although James qualified, he won’t be participating in the event because he decided not to.
Sarah shared, “As always, our top three Masters are guaranteed an invitation to the next Masters. But that might leave you wondering, there was another Master — our third-place finisher James Holzhauer. As we mentioned, it’s an invitational tournament. We absolutely did extend the invitation to James, and he decided, for this year, he was not going to compete.“

What James Holzhauer’s Absence Means For Jeopardy! Masters
James Is Always Exciting To Watch
With his background as a professional sports gambler, James isn’t afraid to take big risks during Jeopardy! Due to this, he won $2,464,216 in his 33 regular Jeopardy! game appearances, behind Ken Jennings, who won $2,522,700, but in 75 regular games. James holds all of the Top 10 single-game winning records.

Our Take On James Holzhauer Rejecting Jeopardy! Masters Invitation
Hopefully, James Will Return To Jeopardy! In The Future
It’s unclear why James rejected his offer to compete in Jeopardy! Masters season 3, but the executive producers seem to respect his decision. Sarah even said that he decided not to compete “for this year,” which implies that he’ll be back in the future. However, it would’ve been so much fun to see how he would’ve fared versus newer Jeopardy! champions such as Neilesh, Isaac, Adriana, and Juveria. James should return for a future Jeopardy! Masters season so that he can reclaim his place as the champion.
