You love posting all your gambling wins but looks like you're always takingng L's too
that was sunday domination, let’s be honest
Watching the Pros struggle makes for such a better viewing experience. You stay engaged!
Aberg is special 🔥
Eldrick has a "Barry Bonds" problem more than anything. Arrogance should NEVER be rewarded and in Woods case, it isn't. Sure there's a bunch of fans that love to jump on a winning bandwagon, but what has he done to EARN fans? Is he warm and fuzzy or goes out of his way to acknowledge those cheering for him? Not even a little bit. You reap what you sow, even those with a nickname folks seem to enjoy.
Tiger threw his family away. Just about killed himself with drinking drugs women or whatever. He is no role model. He wants to control. The PGA.
Excellent overall perspective on The Masters.
Scottie going to win another major this year. Im guessing the PGA or US Open.
John, you're entitled to your opinion on Tiger, but I believe Tiger is playing for the attention, or maybe the PGA Tour is begging him to play for ratings. The Masters is the only tournament he can make it to the weekend because there is no rough, and he has insane course knowledge. Put him on a course with rough, and he might finish dead last of everybody. And don't forget, he withdrew from multiple majors last year. The media needs to get over and stop fawning over Tiger. Concentrate on propping up Scottie; he's amazing.
Tigers body obviously can not handle 3 rounds let alone 4….maybe he can get through 4 rounds once a month…but that remains to be seen
Your NFL takes are outstanding, but I think your golf takes are even better.
Bryson a weirdo do you know Bryson it sounds to me like you're the weirdo buddy
Sorry but the greens got away from them. It was largely unwatchable. Maybe today was a little better but gosh so few scores in the 60s, not entertaining on the back nine.
John, we want carnage at the US Open. But that's about it. We don't want it at the other tournaments, you should know that. So no this was not a great tournament the scoring was virtually impossible except for one guy who finally got it going late on Sunday.
Scheffler is the best player, as we speak. His win was expected. That's a difficult thing to live up to. He's done winning, either.
I hope Scottie is the next Tiger, like makes a massive run and wins 10 majors, takes over the game the next 5 years.
DJ was one of the main heels for me to root against. The other is Eldrick. I really had a good time day 3… I will have to give the Devil his due, that Day 2 Woods performance in those conditions was pretty remarkable.
i miss watching bryson on tour. he's super interesting and he's good enough to win a lot of tournaments
DJ has been my favorite player since I started watching golf as a kid 10-12 years ago. I do think that his game has been back and forth. Partly due to his style of play. He plays ONLY a fade. He hits an extremely high ball flight, and his wedge game was very very crucial in the time he won those 2 majors. That’s just a horrid combination for the weather they had this week if you’re not on your p’s and q’s. He looked to be trapping iron shots off to the left a little bit and I’m sure it’s from trying to flight the ball down. He’s never won the British open or gave it a scare, that I can remember. He thrived off of hitting the ball far, hitting irons high and with spin, and then dialing in wedges bc of his length, he had a lot of wedges into greens, but not at a 7500 yard course he won’t. I’m not making excuses for the guy I’m just saying he had no room for error this week and clearly he made errors. He had a poor showing in the British last year too when there was crazy wind
They need to shorten the course to 6500 yards, slow the greens down, and open up the field to 200 players including more amateurs.
This would change the dynamics of the tournament and make for more roars. And who doesn't love mo roar? Everybody love mo. Mo roar, less bore. That's how you make The Masters an amazeable and fun tournament to watch, and compete in.
I knew Rory would not get close, even though he was John's pick. Then again I picked Brooks Koepka or Jason Day to win it all – ended +8 and +5, so my tips were worse! Scottie deserved it though.
That’s me. Here for football, don’t know about golf, just listening cuz I like John lol
I was thinking the same thing. All the LIV guys were not as sharp. They got soft on fat bank accounts and 3 day tournaments
Baby being born “derails his life “. Hilarious tone deaf comment-it is a blessing beyond any major he ever has won or will win. Love the show and not attacking John ; as a father, just found comment a bit off putting
