Hope Tiger can greatly elevate the other parts of his game to keep up with the top players who drive a long ball, it's such an advantage. Case in point with Rory on hole 12 driving it 70yds past Tiger and flipping a wedge to 3ft for birdie, again on hole 13 with Spieth & Rory going for the green in 2 with Rory sanding it to 3ft for another Birdie where as Tiger has to play for the green in 3 shots being so short comparatively and only just managing par. The reality is todays top players are just as good in the other areas as Tiger but they have that huge advantage of distance creating many shorter irons in over him. Around Augusta Tiger's course knowledge gives him an advantage but he's gonna have to get lucky to win on these longer, bigger type courses.

Looks like the Tiger boot lickers are up early today!

Geez.....

I get the admiration and respect, but some of you guys are like pre teen little girls....

I think this course sets up good for Tiger. I counted 8 par 4's that were playing 450 yards or less. Both par 5s are 600+ yards beasts from the tips (not a fan of that TBH), so those will be 3-shot holes for a big portion of the field. I think Tiger can think his way around this course and just take what it gives him.

My money says one day they will move the tee up and not monkey with the 12 and 13 issue and create a gettable par five.

The sexism in this thread is uncalled for & causing me  us anxiety. If anybody needs me us, I we will be in my our safe space.

Nice to see McIlroy getting off to a strong start. 

[TiScape]

Does FJ have a TW signature shoe yet??? 😆

[LoopySwing13]

Streaming brought an end to the work during the majors.. great looking course and some good groups set up all day. 

[capking]

Does no one else hear this honking? 

[bscinstnct]

Woe to the field if RM gets rolling big

Could be Canadian geese. Or as we call them in the South, snakes with wings.

I'm surprised by all the complaints that this is only broadcast on ESPN+. 

 

Did I miss something. I believe The Masters is the only tournament that broadcasts the entire tournament, and that's only on their website--broadcast or non-streaming cable TV coverage has never been wall to wall coverage. 

 

 

My thoughts too. It's been this way all year, maybe longer. You can really tell who watches golf and who watches Tiger-only 'golf.' 😆

Living golf legend and one of, if not thee best golfers in history… Gonna have a fair share of “boot lickers” right? Can’t believe some are so put off by it! I know I woke up early after only 4hrs of sleep to watch him this AM. And I’m hardly a Tiger “boot licker”! 😂

This reminds me of your previous  RM prediction! 🤣 Better luck this time! Haha

It's the extra pay for. At least you can Watch the Masters without paying anything extra.

Rory with 194mph ball speed jeeeeeeezus

If he continues to drive & hit his wedges like this and not lose concentration (which he can do at times making careless bogies), he can win by 8 again.

I subbed to ESPN+ a few months ago. So every Thur/Fri I have something to put on in my office while I work since there is multi-feed coverage of every PGA event. As a dollar per hour cost it's blowing away Netflix, HBO Max, etc. And it's also good for hockey and other sports.

UFC as well if you are into that. Hockey, tennis, etc. It's great, especially for the degenerate gambler out there and you can't beat the price. Plus they make it very easy to cancel

If this is the forecast, its over, soft conditions, long course, Rory gonna destroy the place 

 

 

[capking]

Can’t complain about the coverage at all so far, there may be 80% less commercials than a typical event it seems. I’m sure it’ll pick up once we get out of early coverage, but thumbs up from this guy.

[755]

My ESPN + app is only working about half the time this morning 😞

IF the putter stays hot, definitely maybe! 😜

Since we are making bold predictions… I’ll say Scheffler will finish higher than Rory this week.

Spieth still lost with his putter.

Rory ability on soft greens very different than fast.

 

All his majors were in soft conditions. All of them. 
 

And something may “click” here and put him in Rory dangerous mode!

 

Early but wouldn’t be surprised.

i dont really like much about his game at the moment, other than that hes gotten longer off the tee.
