just claim there was mud on your ball.
I was wondering the same thing. How much could they have watered the fairways overnight to create a mud ball?

But it's almost like they are putting side spin on the ball. Like it's EA Sports Tiger Woods spin control
They are to an extent. If a righty draws the ball, there will be some spin to the left. If they fade it, there will be some right spin. The slopes just make it more drastic.

Has Koepka's aesthetic been brought up yet? It seems like he is mixing two different eras.
Classic looking pleated pants
Weirdly textured, Tiger-esque mock turtleneck

I could not believe it when Aubry said this was her 4th time playing Survivor. Is she the least memorable player to get that many invites? Why do they keep inviting a plain looking, terrible athlete, with an average game-play?

I remember watching the Presidents Cup and feeling embarrassed when he was talking shite to Si Woo Kim. Sure, Kim deserved it for his absurdly early night night taunting, but I just wish it was any other golfer on our team.

I think Wyndham is the guy I would least like to win this tournament out of the entire field. If Rory hadn't choked at LACC, Wyndham wouldn't be a thought in any of our minds from the Ryder Cup to TGL to majors.

I say this every single time that it happens. It is bad television. If we know what they are saying, it could be interesting, but the vast majority of the time it's not discernible.
Also, in regards to everyone saying "Let's do Coach", then doing what Coach wanted; I think it's the smart play. There are way too many people left in the game. It's a bad decision to try to take charge now. Getting organized is too complicated and puts a target on you. I would follow the same path. Stay low, let someone else make some decisions as long as it doesn't go against your overall plan.

Yikes. Reed went from club twirl to water ball. These are the types of greens we want at Augusta.

PReed and Potgeiter are the yin and yang of the short game.

He always has one of the wilder strokes gained charts. He's the worst chipper on Tour and basically does nothing well except hit the absolute piss out of the ball.
Potgeiter may be a perfect example of why Fred Ridley is right about the need for a rollback. Actually, I think it needs more than that, but at least it's something.

I was listening to the Shotgun Start, and PJ said he followed Potgeiter in a practice round. On one hole, he messed up 3-4 short game shots in a row. He then pulled out his driver to get it on the green. Not a good sign.

I feel like that is almost never the case.
I can't seem to find it now, but Data Golf had a stat showing how the 4 SG areas most impact the winner of all the majors. All were fairly similar in that off the tee and approach were the most important. The one big difference was that around the green had a much greater impact at Augusta than any other major. I may be misremembering, but I think that coincided with putting being less important at the Masters than any other major.
ETA: I found it. It was in their newsletter. SG Putting for the winners of all the majors in the last 5 years was lowest at the Masters, then the PGA Championship, US Open, and Open Championship.

Seems counterintuitive for the guys in the video to keep banging their heads with their hands.

Ok, I'm starting to lean towards taking away now. Every interview he mentions his football experience. It's just not needed. As much as I can't stand Marty, it's clear that he is a professional when juxtaposed with Kelce.

Jason Kelce is adding nothing to this par 3 broadcast. I guess that is better than actually taking away from it. They would be better off just making every interview done by SVP over earbuds rather than going back and forth.

I still enjoy it, but when Tiger isn't involved it is very...blah looking for storylines etc..
That is why I am very excited about this Masters. The two storylines that suck up all the attention were Rory and the career grand slam and what will Tiger do. Those are gone this year. The weather is going to be perfect for Augusta to be firm and fast. It is all about the golf this year.

What’s stopping an OF’er from hopping a fence and running into the crowd to make a catch then? Should that be legal too?
If an outfielder has the ability to climb the fence, avoid fans, and run up some steps to catch a ball all before it hits the ground, go for it.

In other words, he was never a threat to win. Got it.
If Rizo beat Savannah in the fire making challenge, he would've won. So, he was a threat.

Think about what you just said. Now, take away the idol. He would’ve been sent packing. Hard to get someone out with an idol, his gameplay had zero to do with it. Look, I get it, you like retarzo. You do you.
But he did have the idol. It is part of the game. I don't like Rizo either, but I won't downplay his impressive run of whatever tribals in a row without playing the idol.
What he did is more impressive than if he happened to find 2-3 idols and kept playing them while getting votes. He had to do all of the following:
1. Build and keep a solid alliance that wouldn't turn on him just to get the idol out
2. Manipulate people multiple times to not vote for him by threatening to use the idol.
3. Have the balls to stick with the plan to not play it.

Shoutout to Tiger Woods for letting us know in 2026 that he is stepping away even though he hasn’t played in a golf tournament since 2024
I know you're making a joke, but he has been a big part of planning the new PGA Tour. I assume he will not be a part of that for a while. Also, he likely won't be selected as the Ryder Cup captain in Ireland. I may be completely wrong, but we might not see him in public until the Hero at the end of this year.
