Honorary Starters: The Masters 2018

As usual, it was a thrill to see the legends of the game swing at the first tee as the Honorary Starters for the 2017 Masters. It was a fine tribute to the missing member of this trio, Arnold Palmer.

My question is, would it be best to keep Gary and Jack alone as Honorary starters until both are gone, or introduce a new third person and maintain three?

Thoughts?

I think they just add people when "the time is right". I'm guessing Tom Watson will be next.

Seriously? This year's isn't over.

Jack and Gary for the foreseeable future.

millinials...the world is moving too slow for them .. :cheesy:

Until they hit 50 when they start looking for the brake. :)

Huge Tiger fan, but that's funny, I don't care who you are!

It'll be Jack and Player for a while.

The next crop will be Watson, Faldo and Crenshaw.

After that it will be Freddie and Jose Maria.

Freddie will be the first honorary starter that isn't a multiple Masters Champion.

After that I'll be dead and won't care....

No one wants to see tiger wheeled out there on a furniture dolly, doing his best Hannibal Lector, just to make a weak pass with a driver that doesn't count.

That escalated quickly.

At 77 and 81, we should just be happy if we still have two in 2018.

Weird that one.

BST warriors apparently get confused and disoriented when they wander into the wrong forum and see spelling errors. Quick, how does one spell BST?

Gary would probably hit it further than Tiger off the tee :haha:

Ha! Try 63.

I look forward to Watson accusing Gary Player of cheating on the ceremonial tee shot.

Maybe they should rotate that spot the next few years. Not sure what Trevino's Masters record off the top of my head but he might be a good place to start .

Trevino has plenty of nasty to say about Augusta. Dude used to change his shoes in the parking lot.

Maybe for the Champion's Dinner they could serve fava beans...with a nice Chianti.

Tiger will have to withdraw (back).

Next big three to serve as honorary starters should be Monty, Sergio, and Greg Norman.
