You must not think it’s exciting when someone can put a 200 yard iron within 3 feet.
Scottie unreal, but I was extremely impressed with Ludvig Aberg. He’s going to win multiple majors and be a world #1 someday
Masters isn’t a pga tour event (private club tournament). Neither is the us open (USGA).
Edit: None of the majors are pga tour events.

There are a lot of confused golf fans right now. Last month, I received a text from a friend asking, “Why is the PGA letting LIV guys play in the Masters?” I responded that it was best to discuss in person because it probably would have taken about an hour to explain.

An idiot's guide to who runs what in golf
This is the time of year we need to remind everyone that the PGA Championship is NOT run by the PGA Tour. To do that, here's our super-handy guide to differentiating the game's important organizations.
You're never going to have Tiger again. He was doing things so much differently than the existing players. But I just don't think that's out there anymore. Between the rollback, lengthening courses and guys pretty well topping out what's possible in terms of distance, you are going to get that true innovation anymore.
Hard disagree here. Love how he doesn’t play safe with a lead, even in majors, he’s going out there and trying to win.
I personally think the Master’s needs to really think about the course and how to tweak it so it’s not such a spot to spot course. I get the tradition and all that which is nice, but they need to get a more risk/reward set up if they want to keep going for another 80 years. It’s just a really really beefed up Deere Run at this point. Too predictable.
I don't agree. It's not like the course plays easy. Fewer than 10 players were under par for the tournament, and -11 is very good but not crazy good. Other than Scheffler, there was a lot of movement in the final round. But that will happen in any tournament with a player in the lead hitting consistently good shots.
The player who wins is the one who executes the required shots the best, hitting the spots that put them in the best position to score low. I think that's the beauty of Augusta. There are very specific spots that all players are trying to hit because it sets them up well for the next shot. Few do it well for four days. The one that does it best wins. We already have the U.S. Open, which is set up to challenge the players, sometimes stupidly so. Then there's The Open Championship, which usually is a very different type of game.

Probably got home pretty late, I'm guessing. Might as well go to the bar and celebrate
