Masters doesn’t start until back 9 on Sunday
 

Was the Masters less exciting this year?

There were only 21 eagles made during the tournament. The record is 47 in 2015.

Only three of the top 10 players had an eagle - Scheffler on Saturday, Smith on Sunday, and Zalatoris on Thursday. And not one of the leaders had an eagle on the back nine on Sunday.

Commentators said that lengthening some of the holes have caused players to layup more than in past years. I think that laying up makes for less exciting golf.

Should they make the holes shorter and have easier pin positions- at least on Sunday?

The wind was a major factor in this year's tournament, and the reason for high scores, and not so many eagles etc.
I like it when conditions are tough, and pro's struggle, rather than the target golf dished up at most tournaments between majors.
Seeing half the field 20+ under par is boring.

British Open is a perfect example. Wind, clouds and raw temps.... cup placement etc. Has a way of evening out the competition

The Open is usually played on courses modern pro's can eat.
The course's only protection, in most cases, is the weather, and real rough.
Not grass an inch longer than the fairways, that pretends to be rough.

There is a report that Rory has been offered $850 million to join LIV. He has denied it. But they always do.

I think he is past his prime. Tiger only won one major after he turned 35. Rory will be 35 next month and I can’t see him winning too many majors.

If it is true, should he jump?? Or turn down $850 million?

Rory McIlroy dismisses report of $850M offer by LIV Golf - ESPN

If true, and he does, THAT would be the greatest shocker of golf. He was the most outspoken opponent to LiV. He’s very well off, and would not risk his Word or Reputation for this..,

He appears to have not only walked back his LIV comments but has left the door open as well. So I do believe he would....
