Put a decent size wager on a Homa top 10 finish at +275, I'll be rooting for that.

Just seeing the new tees on 13 for the first time.  That tee shot is gonna start out like hitting a ball down a hallway.  

Cant wait to get this thing going.

Me too. Just hope the weather isn't as awful on Friday and Saturday as they're saying it might be.

Somebody needs to hook Kisner up with a sponsorship with Trojan.

Finau had like 7 kids with him. 

It's easy to be a father for 10 kids when you're never around

[Cruzer 1,995]

Well official pick - give me Rahm still, with a mudder in S. Lowry too. 

[Reality 3,121]

Brooks looks... Healthy. 

[Fumbleweed 547]

Another disappointing start for Rory. Not out of it, but will need some help

Unless it is the Open - He is DND for me.

[Cruzer 1,995]

Love to see Brooks win it - but this is still wide open for sure. 

Don't trust Hovland.. The kid is super talented, but he's also prone to blow up hole. Can't tell you how many times I've seen in him contention, only to card a snowman or quad. 

 

No way Tiger goes out like this - this will not be his last Masters. 

[Reality 3,121]

Brooks mf'n Koepka... Son...

Cali boys don’t win Green Jackets, have to go back to ‘82 and the Walrus to find one that did. Homa and Cantlay - luv ya but you’re out. (Yes I know Tiger and Phil, I’m talking about regular human golfers - not legendary Golf Gawds)

 

And idk about Cam having a chip on his shoulder, he knew the ripple effects when he left. As far as Rory, yaaaawwwnnnn, ho humm. 8 freaking years, during his golfing prime, healthy as a horse - and not a single major?? Wake me up when Jay-Boy’s parrot does something when it matters. 

Good call on Rory. I’m shocked. You- probably not

It depends on the lightning. There is an underground fortress there that can control moisture on the course. Rain with no electricity is play on 

[Reality 3,121]

Apparently there are trees falling, not great.

Idk if it's even possible for a guy to have 23 Tour wins, including 4 majors - and still be an underachiever..............yet somehow I feel Rory is. 

To be arguably the most talented golfer since Tiger and........in a time with no Tiger, totally healthy, during his golfing prime, with no other major singular dominant player, and not win a major in 9 freaking years - is just mind blowing. 

Maybe the dude should spend more time on the range................ and less time politicking in front of a mic. 

[Cruzer 1,995]

Koepka -12.....Phil -4.....J. Niemann -4.....Reed -3.....C. Smith -2.....Ancer -1.....DJ -1

 

I'd say so much for LIV guys not being sharp from lack of competition and/or practice...... Beer league or not, great players are great players. I miss seeing these guys on our tour, they are among in the best the world - happy will get to see them over the weekend.

Hey why not go take advantage of the Saudi tour $$$ till it falls, come back, limp in, suck some pemus , be rich, play golf.

[Cloaca du jour 2,149]

Im guessing Monday finish..

How pissed is the PGA that keopka had to be included in the cbs intro 

 

they are shaking at the idea of him winning

I wonder what Jim Nance’s line will be if Brooks wins. 
 

Long live Koepka?

[Fireballer 2,642]

I really like Rahm coming back and getting this

ETA…birdie dropped as I typed.  Rahm now +105 and Brooksie +130

[WhiteWonder 2,734]

I expected Rahm to win. I don’t like brooks, don’t want to cheer for him. I just love how butt hurt the PGA would be. 
 

but I think LIV has already proven themselves. 

[Reality 3,121]

LIV is lighting this leader board up.

[Bert 1,128]

Brooks choked like gutterboy’s mom on Trump’s c0ck. 
 

it was great to watch watch that arrogant fock implode.

At the end of the day, it will be a room full of rich, old dudes.......eating at the house of Bobby Jones. They will behave and the hype will far outweigh the actual events.

Plus I'm betting, much like real life - nobody will say much when in actual person and not in front of a Twitter feed.

I did call Scottie last year..............but so far, I've no pick just yet. 

If I have to throw out a name - Rahm and Jordan are safe bets to be there Sunday I think, Tom Kim as a sleeper.

1. As predicted all behaved, the Champions Dinner hoopla was all hype - 

2. I'm a huge Cantlay/Morikawa/Homa fan...........but like I told you, Cali boys don't win Green Jackets - 

3. Jordan's Sunday run made this early call money - 

4. 2 years running, picked the winner - 

 

I appear to be in the minority, nothing new - have been my whole life........but I'm a big Koepka fan. The dude is his own man, not some fake as parrot like Rory. He didn't get it done, it happens - but to say Brooks gagged this away is a huge discredit to Rahm - that dude played phenomenal golf, he went out and won it. 

And lost in all this, the story of stories - Phil's big F'U to the establishment and his incredible tournament. Lefty continues to break records as his ages into history, man it was awesome to watch him make his charge.

LIV's representation will get a lot of talk for weeks and months on end.. I'm not gonna get on a soapbox and rag on the PGA or Jay-boy (least not today). Both LIV and the Tour share a hand in the debacle that all this has become.........  However they do it, whomever gets the credit (I don't care), I just hope both sides figure it out and we get these guys back in our game - golf is so much better when them in it..................as we saw this week.

You have forgotten more about golf than I will ever know but I disagree with you on this one.  Rahm played phenomenal golf without question but Koepka went 22 consecutive holes without a birdie on Sunday.  Only 12 of the 53 players shot worse than Koepka in the final round.

I'm not sure anyone here is taking into account I win 1k if Brooks wins the Masters.

I knew after the 3rd hole (4th round) he was doomed. I was at peace with it.

I bet 250 to win 500 on Rahm in the 3rd round. 

if they both lost, suicide was an option
