The Masters - 2026

You made your point. The tournament starts tomorrow and Trump won't be there. Can we talk about the golf now?

If people stop defending Trump here, sure.

I'm ready for the golf to start. The pre-tournament ceremonies and activities are over. Let's tee it up. The tournament isn't won in the first round but it sure can be lost in the first round. Excited to see who gets off to a good start tomorrow and probably gonna be disappointed about some who don't.

Who is favored. I have not followed it much at all since Tiger's injuries and admitted poor driving habits have made him a non-contender.

Post #9. You brought him up in this thread and nobody is defending him in this thread. It's all on you.

Certainly there are betting favorites, but that doesn't mean anything to me. I pointed out earlier in the thread that a lot of guys in The Masters have been playing well this year. To me, there aren't any clear favorites. That makes it more interesting to me too.

I think Matsayama gets his second Masters. His driving has been off but that doesn't matter as much as accurate irons and short game which he is near the top in both categories.

It used to be known as a putting contest. Who makes a few long ones. Don't ever get above the holes. Or you may putt it back into the fairway.

They did add length back into it. But, par5s' are still almost par 4s' for long drivers. It used to be basically par 68. Then the changes.

Late tee times have it tougher first 2 day I think. Early damp greens help. Its a paradise for golfers. They are kings in Augusta.

Weather prediction is the driest conditions in 15 years! That means lightning fast greens by the weekend. Like you said it will be all about putting, staying below the hole and leaving your misses where you can make par.

Run along sonny, we get it. You hate Trump good for you.

The par 3 highlights...



The par 3s are always exciting.

There's a few aces in there...
