ESPN predictions about who will win the 2018 Masters (http://www.espn.com/golf/story/_/id/23018091/espn-predictions-win-2018-masters)

Who do you think will get the Green Jacket this year?

I pick Rory McIlroy to win the 2018 Masters.

I'll take Jason Day at 20-1 and Rahm at 28-1.

This is like the Dayton 500. You pick the right winner you can really make some good loot.

[jebartle]

Hope jordan gets putting problem worked out. Such a great kid!

[billethkid]

Hopefully they give adequate coverage to the most likely and the first page of the leader board.

And not have to listen to the school girl like fawning announcers and endless hopeful talk, and how he did it 10 years ago coverage of you know who.

I would like to see Phil M. on the first page mixing it up with the up with the current greats in golf.

I am hoping someone does not make the cut. Will be great watching sat and sun

[PWPOTE2000]

Why would you say that. He is the greatest golfer of all time

[T186021]

Would love to see Woods contend and win his 4 Green Jacket in a playoff with Day, Phil and Watson! The rating would be over the top, a comeback completed and the golf season would be thrown into chaos. Hopefully, the weather cooperates and this is a Masters to remember.

[My Post]

Is it really a sport if Phil can win the Masters at this point though? I mean he is 47 years old and not even fit. There should be some parameters for things to be considered sport as opposed to events.

You're kidding, right?!? :ohdear:

[T186021]

Phil's job requires him to walk a 7000+ yard course 4 consecutive days, strike a golf ball 72 or fewer times each day, meet media and sponsor obligations. You have to be physically and mentally fit to complete that task. Now does he physically look like the 20-year-old players, no but those players have not achieved what Phil and other golfers have in this game.
How cool is it that a 50 yr old professional golfer can compete with a 20 yr old player or a golfer with a 16 handicap can compete with an 8 handicap golfer. That's 1 of the elements which makes golf a sport like no other.

[My Post]

You have to be physically and mentally fit to complete that task.

So you consider John Daley to be an athlete then? And be physically fit??? Again, nice guy but I read his book. He doesn't consider HIMSELF to be an athlete!

[My Post]

What about the reverse? The ballerina Misty Copeland is most certainly an athlete. But is ballet a sport? I'm just saying some activities that are difficult and require dexterity may not actually be sports. Surely a top level concert pianist or violinist would be considered an athlete by the criteria set for Mick in the previous pages post....

[charliets]

Anybody but Tiger! Might be the best golfer ever but also one of the worst person ever, not just as a husband and father, which is well documented but as a person. So far haven’t been able to watch none of the coverage because of the Tiger obsession, hopefully he will miss the cut so they will move on and will be able to watch again.

[tomwed]

I pick Justin Thomas to win. I'll be rooting for Tiger and Phil. I think golf is a game and not a sport because you only need to be able to walk to play the game as it is intended to be played. It's neither an aerobic or anaerobic activity. just an opinion, not a fact

[Polar Bear]

Somebody better alert every sports broadcast and sports app in the world to remove golf!!

"The earliest appearance of the quip that QI has discovered was in a 1903 book about lawn tennis. The players of this sport are the traditional adversaries of golfers in the field of recreation. Individual chapters of this book were written by different authors. The author of the second chapter, H. S. Scrivener, attributed the saying to fellow players named the Allens. Boldface has been added to excerpts: 2

Not a great day for Tiger so far. Could have been worse. I thought he was getting in real trouble when he sunk it off the tee on 12.

Plus 3 and they have a live telecast interview.....really....BS!
Completely ignoring all the others who are page one leaders.

Undeserved focus.

Sergio carded a 13 and he isn't even in last!!!!! He put the ball in the water 5 times LOL.
God that must have taken forever. I mean he takes forever to get a 4.

Amazing to hear the opinions of couch potatoes on whether golf pros are athletes or not. Not sure how many here have actually been to Augusta National, I was there last year, it is a workout just being a spectator. The elevation changes and hills you climb are not evident on TV. When you can carry 300 yards with your driver we'll talk.

RE: Tiger coverage. Get over it. He is a superstar, TV coverage is sold by ratings, Tiger boosts ratings.

[MorTech]

What happened to Sergio Garcia - Ouch!...And he is going to have to stick around until Sunday as well.

Jordan Spieth will win...Every other tournament is just practice for The Masters for him :)

[Francie]

I love watching these great players. Amazing skills and they are indeed athletes. You have to use a lot of strength, power and stamina to hit with the precision they do from every conceivable lie. Then, after that, to calm their breathing and adrenaline down to hit a precise putt is amazing. Witness the LPGA last weekend. 8 "overtime" holes to win! Anyway, would love to see Tony Finau win after that freak injury at the Par 3 contest when he hit a hole in one. Enjoy!

[Polar Bear]

The superstar, coverage, ratings part is spot on. But I think you need to get over it...not everybody likes it and they're allowed to say so.

[Rapscallion St Croix]

As I write this, there are two players tied at 4 under and thirteen more within two shots. I want Kutcher to win, but I pick Patrick Reed although I do not like him at all.

[John_W]

My favorite golfers are Jordan Spieth, Ricki Fowler, Henrik Stenson and Rory McIlroy. I like to see Henrik win, but if he can't then Jordan, and if not him, then Rory to complete his grand slam. I follow those four on twitter and Henrik is a funny guy. I like watching Tiger, especially if he's in the running.

[Polar Bear]

RE: Tiger coverage. Get over it. He is a superstar, TV coverage is sold by ratings, Tiger boosts ratings.Superstar? He's worth $740 million so he's not golfing for the income. He has suffered many injuries and keeps trying. Maybe that's how he is built, to overcome obstacles. I think he is responsible for the big purses which draws more athletes with exceptional hand and eye coordination and mental toughness.

Now I think he get's the eyeballs because he is an underdog with a fused back. Golfers know that the short game is within everyone's grasp and often determines the winner. He was trained on the shortest shots before working his way back to the tee. just an opinion, not a fact

He is very successful with the ladies too which many viewers admire.

Gotta love it. Woods 4+ over " Battling to beat the CUT...." Gotta love it, he's finished arrogant nasty jerk.

[rustyp]

Watched The Masters refreshing to see such a class act. It was obvious the announcers were told to curb the Tiger talk today. Normally they would address featured groups without Tiger with such nonsense as this is where Tiger putted from today. Or other such nonsense as Tiger was above the hole here earlier today. Great to see everyone getting their due - after all they are all Masters. Here are some fun facts about the Masters which illustrates class is more important than commercial time:
Food prices are ridiculously low.
Tipping is banned.
Cell phones are prohibited at all times and cameras are not permitted during the tournament.
Only four minutes of commercials per hour are allowed during the broadcast and no blimps are allowed.
TV commentators are not allowed to refer to fans as "fans" or "spectators" They are to be called "patrons," and the rough is to be referred to as the "second cut."
Running is not allowed, unless you are a player.
Augusta is closed in the summer to keep the course in pristine shape.
You can go to jail for selling tickets. The course is insane about who it lets into the tournament and it's illegal to sell tickets within 2,700 feet of the gates.
You can only ask for autographs in one part of the course.

Hopefully Rory. Hopefully not you know who. Didn't know Bubba Clinton place golf??? Golf is the Greatest.

That was some really great golf, today! Can't wait for tomorrow.

I wouldn't hold your breath. The coverage at The Masters is dictated by the club not the networks or PGA. I rate this year's coverage as the best I've ever seen. FYI the Master's website carries live broadcast all day with no commercials. If you have not seen it take a look around the website. There are some great features. Example - if you click on a picture of a player you will see their scorecards right up to the hole they are on. On the scorecard some of the holes are shaded a tan color. Click on the tan boxes and a video of the player playing that hole comes up.

The new commissioner Jay Monohan is in favor of the loud and boisterous crowds. He thinks it brings new patrons out to watch golf. I think overall this childish behavior is wearing thin with many of the pros.

Patrons can bring collapsible chairs to sit on, but those chairs are not allowed to have armrests.

There is an odd myth that the grounds crew at Augusta packs the azalea plants with ice if spring comes early. The idea is that this will keep the plants from flowering too soon before the tournament.

Players are given a brand-new Mercedes for use during the week.

Golf cart drivers who are hired to drive the players around Augusta National also pick up the golfers at the airport in the Mercedes they will be using. The cars also have a number in the back window so that employees can always identify the players by which car they are in.

Fans always line the ropes at big tournaments in hopes of getting a*signature. But this is tougher to do at Augusta. You can only try and solicit an autograph on the Washington Road side of the clubhouse, near the practice facilities.


The bunkers at Augusta are filled with mining waste.

You know those pristine white bunkers? They're actually composed of waste product from the mining of aluminum, according to Golf.com

Basically, there's this company that mines feldspar (rocks) for aluminum. This process produces waste in the form of bright, pure quartz — that's what Augusta uses.

All true. In addition, at the autograph area beside the new practice putting green, there is a sign that says, "16 years old and under".

I was really surprised Thursday morning when I went to the range early and saw Gary Player warming up. He was the only player in the range. A few more came out, then Jack Nicklas appeared. After Jack's warmup session, I was walking out of the range area and went by the autograph area. There were two kids in line. He stopped and signed for both of them.

[Dr Winston O Boogie jr]

Considering what Tiger has been through, he's is having an extremely successful comeback. Six months ago it was questionable if he'd ever be able to play golf again. He's had a couple of top ten finishes and made the cut in The Masters.

Regardless of what anyone thinks about him or his personal life. Tiger Woods is one of the greatest athletes in history.

If he wins a tournament it will be the major sports story of the year. if he wins a major, it will be one of the major sports stories of the decade and maybe the century.

You don't have to like him, but you can't blame the media for covering stories that interest people. I guarantee that if he were in the hunt on Sunday, television viewership would have at least doubled. I talked to a guy that was scalping tickets on Thursday and asked what he was charging. He told me about $1,500 a day. But if Tiger was in the hunt after Friday, that price would double or triple. People want to see history being made. Tiger winning would be history. Rory becoming the sixth career grand slam winner would have been history. Phil winning at age 47 would have been history. The others, Jordan, Dustin, Justin, Patrick, Rickie et al? A win by any of them might be considered historic sometime in the future depending on what they do in their careers. If one of them goes on to win the career grand slam or have the most wins in history or beat Jack's record in the majors, then this Masters would have been historic. But, we wouldn't know that for quite a while.

In the upcoming US Open there will be three big stories. Tiger and Phil. If Tiger wins, it will be historic not only as an incredible comeback but also one closer to Jack's record and one more to the second place number. If Phil wins, it's the sixth player to achieve the career grand slam. If Patrick Reed wins then it's about the grand slam in one season.

Anything else is just another US Open. The US Open is a huge deal, but nowhere as big as any of those three possible scenarios.

if anyone else

[My Post]

Reed is the every man. Could be working construction in Des Moines or tending bar on a cruise ship. I think he will be popular with whatever remains of golf's working class fans.

They need to toughen that course up a bit again. Some of the holes have become a bit of a snooze.

[billethkid]

I am curious what all the hype is about a "comeback"?

He is back. He is playing the game.

Just not as well as many others.

Happens to all the past great golfers.

If the comeback is for him to return to the record setting golfer of 20 years ago....that is an unrealistic expectation.

He is no longer that golfer (or person).

The way the course plays is very dependent on the weather. When it rains and it softens up, it does play too easy. If you were there Thursday, you probably wouldn't be saying that.

But I think that the real problem is the ball. It simply goes too far. I heard that the USGA is revisiting the issue, but I think that the PGA Tour should have a different ball than the rest of us.

The problem with the ball going so far is that courses are becoming outdated. In most cases, there is not enough real estate surrounding many courses to lengthen them. Even Augusta National with their unlimited budget and access to outlying property is not going to be able to keep up with the ball.

I watched players on 240-yard fourth hole on Thursday hitting irons to a back pin position.

Unless the wind is blowing, the 15th is a driver and a seven iron for many players. Except for #3 all of the par fours at Augusta are in excess of 440 yards. These players without exception are hitting short irons to every hole. The 11th is 505 yards and it's a driver and short iron. The sixth was playing at 184 yards and most of the leaders were hitting nine iron. Granted, they are both downhill, but that is simply absurd. The only real par five at Augusta is #8. Par should really be 69. Number 2 is a good drive and a mid-iron and #13 is a six iron if they hit a decent drive. There is no place to lengthen these holes. They could move the tee on 13 to the left to make it more of a dogleg and force a layup, but that's not interesting to watch or play.

Of course, it's a combination of clubs, ball and players getting bigger and stronger. Today all of the players on the PGA tour are spending hours in the fitness vans stretching and strengthening. The fitness and strength of the players can't be controlled nor can the clubs. The one thing that the Tour and The USGA can control is the ball. Like I said a special tour spec ball would make the professional game a lot more interesting. I can't remember seeing a player have to hit a driver and three iron to a par four like Ben Hogan and Arnold Palmer did in their days.

[My Post]

That's a good synopsis. Do you have a favorite course to watch, challenging wise? I mean I always liked Pebble obviously but the last few times haven't been great IMO. Erin Hills last year was a disaster.
