OT: 2023 Masters

[wingsfan055]

Yeah like trying to cover the water on 13 in the first round. He was in pine straw after the tee shot. Ended up with a double bogey.
There is a term now for his play. It's called "The Jordan Spieth Experience".

Spieth hasnt been the same golfer since he gave away the Masters on the Sunday Back 9 several years ago. He's won maybe once or twice on Tour since that epic collapse. Choke city.

Spieth does have a great game but has trouble with decision making. Look at his scorecards, a master of inconsistency but when he is good he is among the best and fun to watch. What seems to be missing is the many chip-ins early in his career. He suffers from high expectations and said, after the Masters, he played himself out with too many rounds prior to the Masters this year.

Phil was the best story of the day and they pretty much ignored him.

Phil who?

That was tough to watch. His scoring average has gone up every year for the last 6 years. Down a little bit this year.

He's won 5 times since then including a major - all but a handful of pro golfers would sign up for that.

They donate $1MM to each club that hosts one of their events. The club then decides on the charity(ies) to receive the funds.

That's a lot less than the PGA generates at each event. I think the Tour Championship was over 5 M

Yes...I would say he's turned it around. He fell off after that Masters collapse but he's back.

The Travellers did about 2.5M which should go up now that it's an elevated event. They can put a lot of people on that course. Phoenix WM did 13M+. for charities in their area. There may be a couple that lose money like The Shriners event in Vegas but consider it well spent for the attention it brings to their work.
