Golf: 2025 Masters Tournament

[Pavel Buchnevich]

April 10-13 at Augusta National Golf Club in Augusta, Georgia. Scottie Scheffler is the defending champion.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Rory coming in with maybe the best pre-Masters form of his life. Could this be the week? (yeah probably not)

JT feels like a candidate to break out after coming so close recently. Worth remembering, as I've said a bunch of times in the past, that his major record is horrible. Only ever contended in two majors... won them both.

The big question on my mind this week: Phil vs Angel Cabrera, who you got?

Sleeper pick: Sepp Straka.

 

[Pavel Buchnevich]

I've thought a lot about it, and I feel this is Rory's year.

I keep trying to convince myself out of it, but that's what I'm arriving at.

If not this year, I will predict it never happens. This feels like the best chance he'll ever get.

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Tee times are out.

Interesting that they usually finish with a headliner, but this year it's... Theegala, Straka, Burns.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

So many guys are playing well this year I think it's a toss-up for me.

 

[John Price]

Books heavily favor Scheffler, McIlroy for Masters

Scottie Scheffler enters the Masters as the consensus betting favorite to win, showing +475 odds at ESPN BET. McIlroy is next on the odds board with +625 odds.

I know the general reaction to a team sport athlete convicted of domestic violence is they are cut/released ETC.....but what about an individual?

Cabrera on post-prison Masters play: 'Why not?'

Angel Cabrera, the 2009 Masters champion who served two years in prison for threats and harassment of two ex-girlfriends, said Tuesday that he respects the opinion of those who say he shouldn't be playing in the Masters.

Cabrera spent over 2 years in jail and was convicted for violence towards 2 different women.

I don’t give a damn about this guy. I’m sick of hearing of this dude, idk why he’s any kind of storyline.

His chances of winning or even contending in the tournament are infinitesimal.

Let him meddle in irrelevancy at he battles to make the cut line and talk about better things

To be honest, he actually won on the Champions Tour last week. He may win “low Old” this year.

But yeah, I totally get your point and don’t disagree with the main idea.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Obviously you want a good tournament with drama on Sunday but in terms of outcome, personally, I'd like to either see McIlroy complete the slam or Aberg breakthrough in a big way.

 

[Ace Card Bedard]

65-year old Freddy Couples finishes -1 on day one.
Eagle on #14. The guy is timeless.

 

[Dakota Sioux]

Fred Couples still has it at The Masters. Shoots a -1 71. Hoping he can do it again tomorrow. He's got one the sweetest swings in the game. Oh and 65 years young

Sorry just saw this was posted above me

 

[Dr John Carlson]

I just need that one gentle little push to finally stop automatically putting money on Brooks to win at every major. Maybe next time...

 

[BigBadBruins7708]

Were gonna get a Rahm meltdown before he makes the turn

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Nick Dunlap shot a 90?????????

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Going for the green on 15 today looks like a poison pill... lots of guys rolling off the front edge into the drink, including Rory.

He missed the green from the drop zone after too. Plus you can get weird downhill lies down near there when you have to layup. No one's laying up from the middle of the fairway.

Just miscalculated the pitch off the back of the green. Patrick Cantlay put 2 in the water off the back of the green too.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Minus 4 in the middle of the fairway on 15…

2 doubles now
Back to even par

No champion has made multiple double bogeys and won in last 40+ years.

Looks like his tournament is probably over now

 

[Nedved]

Rory needs to move on from his caddy. Rory needs to ask himself would anyone else higher his caddy? not likely, and rory hasn't won a major in a decade. An experienced caddy likely gets him two more majors by now, the U.S. open last year and the British Open in 2022.

I just don't get it. I don't think 15 really changes, but 17 was a mental error and a half. You could tell he looked defeated after 15. He left at least 5 shots out there today.

My updated GOAT Golfer List:

5. Greg Norman in the first three rounds
4. Jack Nicklaus
3. Charley Hoffman during Golf Channel coverage
2. Tiger Woods
1. Justin Rose on Thursday at Augusta

[DueDiligence]

Looking at Bryson Dechambeau's second round after 10 holes. He's 4 under for the day but the only reason is that he keeps making miraculous pitches and putts to save pars or make birdies. I wonder if he can continue this?

 

[Dr John Carlson]

Eagle for Rory!

 

[John Price]

'An ordinary guy': What's John Daly doing at the Hooters in Augusta?

Golf's everyman hero hasn't played the Masters since 2006, but every year he shows up in town to hang and sell merch.
