***2025 EdEx THE MASTERS*** A Tradition Unlike Any Other

[Fumbleweed 516]

Most of our tourneys, I would give a thought to taking the top five from those not picked as a team. Not this tournament.

I almost always think about that, at least at the Majors and Players. Not so much now with the elevated/small field events. 

Billy Horschel, Thomas Detry, Maverick McNealy, Chris Bez, Nick Taylor and then maybe Matty Fitz or Homa....  at a $20 entry I might play it 

[BiffTannen 866]

I forget every year. Where do watch this before it comes on regular tv? Paramount plus?

What does the BiffLager model show for power rankings of our teams?

Give me a few. I’ll calculate 

[BiffTannen 866]

Power Rankings - lower is better. Obviously I'm going to be number 1 because these are based on the rankings I used. 

Clocaine - 2, 13, 22, 23, 56, 46 - 

AD -  1, 8, 15, 26, 47, 37

lager - 4, 11, 12, 32, 33, 41

Wonder - 6, 25, 20, 19, 31, 43

patweiser - 3, 10, 16, 35, 45, 60

fumble - 14, 7, 29, 27, 49, 48

Jerry - 5, 9, 28, 17, 34, 58

dain - 21, 18, 24, 30, 36, 55 

 

lager - 133

AD - 134

Wonder - 144

Jerry - 151

clocaine - 162

patweiser - 169

fumble - 174

dain - 184

[BiffTannen 866]

With the LIV guys back and only 8 teams we all looked stacked. It seems like this event always comes down to a guy that barely makes the cut, has a decent Saturday and then goes low on Sunday to get a backdoor top 10/15. If memory serves correctly that is how I lost last year after having the 54 hole lead.

No I spoke to him today. He “edjred” from the league and the board

Christmas morning for us golf fans, good luck fellas

[BiffTannen 866]

no television coverage until 8:30 and no actual play until 9:40?  

[BiffTannen 866]

Exited Paramount+ and went to ESPN+ and they have coverage of holes 4, 5, &6 at 8:45. It's a shame that in 2025 we still can't see guys going off the first tee.

First tee time is 7:40, do you live in the middle of the Atlantic?

There is a chance. I took Hideki because of his success here in the past, but his game has been trending in the wrong direction in recent weeks.

Sorry I read your post wrong, thought you meant the first tee time wasn't until 9:40

We now have coverage of the driving range, but no on course action yet.

ESPN+ coverage of "Morikawa and Scheffler" seems like general coverage, try that.

Surprised Colt Knost is able to do the brodacast with Scheffler's dong in his mouth.

[BufordT 425]

I'm not sure how long they've been doing this but the online master's leaderboard is very cool.  You can click on the player then their scorecard and then the hole number and watch every shot the player made on that hole.  I love it.

[jerryskids 6,546]

Seems like I was wrong about ESPN+; it's mostly if not exclusively those two groups (I thought they were in the same group).  But you do get other scoring updates.

I don't have Paramount+ so this will have to do.  I might check out other ESPN+ shots, unless anyone knows alternatives?

I did a free trial for Paramount this morning. Its the exact same as what ESPN has. 

[jerryskids 6,546]

Justin Thomas looks broken.  Just chunked a wedge half way to the green.  Chipped over a green earlier.   

[Cloaca du jour 2,147]

Undrafted Max Homa...2 under

I should have picked Conners in the second. He was at the top of my list, but I thought by some stroke of luck with only 8 teams, he would fall to 3.06. Picked him to finish 3rd in the tournament overall. 

[WhiteWonder 2,674]

The rough finishes by Zal and Morikawa sucked but at least I feel like they are each playing well enough. 
 

Glover…. You still want him Lags?

Nice win Lager.  Dang, this thing is over.  I was hoping to enjoy my recovery with a faint hope of contending, but you have lapped the field already.

Reverse jinxing myself. 
 

no way I stay in the lead. Rose and Bryson have a history of stellar opening rounds then fading off as the tournament progresses. I predict I come in last place. 

[BiffTannen 866]

I’m seeing the amateur Spaniard boy took a piss in Rae’s Creek.
