Who are you following this year?

Dustin Johnson
Scottie Scheffler
Brooks Koepke
Jordan Speith


Bryson Dechambeau can eat a turd!

Brooks for me. I like Jason Day as a person and always pull for him as well. Gonna be fun to watch!

Scottie and Jordan.

Scheffler
Rahm

Longshot....Schauffele

Would like to say Speith but he can't seem to put four good rounds together.

Jordan’s game is in the gutter. Literally! Sorry, I couldn’t help myself.

I'll take Wyndham Clark. Scheffler is even money. The dark horse is Rory.

Ludvig Åberg

Few more I will be following...

Ricky Fowler
Jon Rahm (For the win on Sunday)
Fred Couples (Long shot, dark horse)

Anyone, but Rory

How about Tiger for # 6?

Always a Tiger fan but I think he's a very long shot due to health reasons. I was watching his interview yesterday and he really looks bad.

Tiger fan also and do not think he has chance. Loved the old exciting days when he first came on the scene and then the rivalries with other young players like Sergio Garcia, Rory etc.

I don't think tiger can put 4 rounds of golf together anymore.

What happened to Hovland?

Any of y'all ever been right outside the fences in Augusta?

Made it to the guard gate/gift shop and bought a hat that I never wear.

Maybe He can always generate a Buzz regardless.

Golf fans react to Tiger Woods during Masters practice round: 'He's buff'
Woods, a 5-time Masters champion, readies for the upcoming week


AUGUSTA, Ga. – The only sound between the Hole 8 green and Hole 9 tee box was the rustle of pine needles and scurrying of shoes across freshly manicured grass during an overcast Tuesday morning at Augusta National Golf Club.

Golf fans from far and wide were moving as fast as they can – no running at the Masters – to get just the right spot by the ninth tee box to await the threesome that captivated the entire day, led by five-time Masters champion Tiger Woods.

Woods' presence is everywhere. Fans wear sweaters with a tiger swinging a club, don his famous "Sunday Red" outfit from head to toe, and there are likely hundreds of conversations about him leading into the week.

"There he is, there he is," said virtually everyone, no matter if they were talking to family, friends or a stranger.

Someone bold enough to speak over the murmurs shouted, "C'mon now Tiger!" which led to whistles and cheers. Justin Thomas, a close friend of Woods, was in the group with him for the nine holes of the day, while 1992 Masters winner and fan-favorite Fred Couples – "Boom Boom" as he is affectionately known – joined as well.

"There’s a little bit," Kent Halder from Iowa told Fox News Digital when asked if he noticed a limp from Woods earlier in the practice round, "but boy is he in shape. He’s buff. He still looks like a defensive back [in the NFL], no doubt about it."

Hovland can't stop tinkering and keeps changing coaches.

Rahm for me.....Jordan is a "has-been" at this point in my humble opinion.

I'd love to see Jordan win again, but watching him play a tournament is like a roller coaster.

Tiger doesn't finish the tournament because he tweaks something in his back

Scottie
Brooks
Rahm
Wyndham Clark

Tiger has been buff for a long time. We lived in Augusta from 07-09, and my wife was a trainer in a local gym when Tiger came in to work out prior to the Masters kicking off. She said he was huge then and was quite the spectacle working out.

Augusta is an interesting place and it seems like the whole town revolves around the tournament. It's usually when all the schools have their spring break and locals go out of town to miss the crazy. Lots of folks would also rent out their houses to spectators coming into town to attend. A lady my wife was training at the time was renting her house out for the week to Kevin Costner and for a huge sum of money, $35k+, but lots of other folks pay higher rates as different houses and levels of access brought different rates. However, I'm sure the Airbnb market has changed a lot of this. The fences around the airport are lined with private planes during the week, and it wasn't unusual to see a limo picking folks up from the Econolodge. It's really a bazaar experience.

Good read and interesting!!! As for the topic I do not care!

We do a pool every year where we pick 10 players and take the lowest 4 scores to get a total number of strokes. If you don't have 4 players make the cut, you're out. Here is mine. I haven't submitted it yet and I'm wavering on the last two.

Scottie Scheffler
Xander Schauffele
Jon Rahm
Patrick Cantlay
Wyndham Clark
Brooks Koepka
Rory McIlroy
Cameron Smith
Viktor Hovland
Justin Thomas

I'd take out Hovland and put in Matthew Fitzpatrick.

Hovland just made an ace
