Mother Nature picked a bad time to get mad at us. First Opening Day looks iffy and now the weather in Augusta is expected to be awful most of the weekend.

I don’t want to watch the final round on Tuesday afternoon.

May open it up for a rando to win it which also would suck. Unless you happen to hit the 80-1 who does it. Guess that would help

Long as a LIV-golfer doesn't win I'm cool with it.  Not really sure why I feel that way but I do.

Yup. Team America…other than them.

Norman already said all 18 LIV golfers will celebrate on the 18th green if one of their guys win. Living vicariously through them since his choke artist ass couldn’t win one.

Lol at the LIV hate. Good on all of them. Take the money. Dustin ,in particular, says he can make more, plays considerably less and spend more time with his kids. Bravo sir. Made the PGA Tour elevate certain events on their schedule and is making the PGA golfers more money too. There is no real hate between these golfers on different tours other than sure mo one likes Reed and Bryson. No one ever did. It is funny to say or act like all LIV golfers are still gonna be around let alone on the 18th green celebrating if one wins the Masters.

Day 1 leaderboard looks basically like the world golf rankings. Great day for the big players. Dechambeau just about the only major guy that struggled.

Rahm double bogeyed #1 and still shot -7. Wild.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Rahm and Scheffler both in great form. Rahm 4 putted 1 then shot -9. Scheffler missed numerous putts on the shorter side and still shot -4. Interesting if Koepka can keep it going considering the LIV guys havent played nearly as much competitive golf.

GTFO with "LOL at the LIV hate."

 

Seriously. It's nice and all golfers can now choose which events to play (as if that wasn't already a thing), and the family angle is um...OK? It's part of a larger effort to rebrand Saudi Arabia, and yeah it is sportswashing.

 

Although it's (to a degree) been successful as it's clearly worked on you?

I was down on the LIV golfers coming into the weekend, except for Cam, and I gotta say they're making me (and my wallet) look dumb.  Especially Koepka and Phil.  Wow.

Wait til Sunday. They don’t play 72 holes on their tour.

By then it will be too late. I bet both to miss the cut lol

Can't be any worse than my Rory pick

Can still bet head to heads.

[TwentyThirtyFive]

Koepka going 65-67 is insane. But if any of the LIV golfers could do it without playing as much its that guy. Dude gets up for Majors.


I also bet Phil to miss the cut. Womp womp

[Mike in STL]

Some good players to watch this weekend. LIV golf at the top. Interested to see if Koepka can keep it together. Mental game seems to be his biggest issue. Big takeaway on his episode of the “Full Swing” series. Rahm solo second, two back. An amateur in 3rd. Kinda hope he wins, amateurs can’t claim any prize money because, they are amateurs. So maybe one of them actually winning will change that. Or some of the pros maybe pool together some dough for the kid. That’d be a nice story. I digress. Morikawa can already claim the 3rd leg of the grand slam, he sits tied for 4th. Hovland is a bright young player, only a matter of time before he wins a major.

JT and Rory are the only notables missing the cut. JTs collapse on the back 9 this morning moved the cut line to where Tiger made it to the weekend, tying the record with 23 straight made cuts at the Masters.
