2026 Masters Thread

[Deepster]

No Masters thread where we can document everyone picking the wrong winner this year?

Rory in the clubhouse at -5. Of Nicklaus, Faldo and Tiger who repeated, the -5 for Rory is the lowest opening rd of any of them.
Sheffler at -2 through 11. Missed a few shots you expect him to have made but should be in okay position unless Amen Corner eats him up.
Freddy turned back the clock on the front but just carded a 9 on a par 5 and a double on the following par 3 to jump to +4.

Weather is supposed to be perfect all weekend.

Scheffler has played terrible on Thursdays and heats up. If he can start at a -3 or -4 today he has my vote to win.

Freddy was sailing then pulled a 9 on a par 5. In 2 holes went from minus 2 to plus 4.

I refuse to watch the Masters as long as it remains a symbol of the patriarchy.

They need to allow women to play from the ladies' tees.

Also, this year is especially bullshit since the deep state took out Tiger with that "accident."

Wow!

Wow!

Are you defending the patriarchy or the deep state?

Got a good feeling with a lefty winning g it this year. Course is dry as can be and running fast.

Wow….just, wow

I know this is bs but can’t believe you actually said it. The deep state put Tiger behind a slow moving landscaper knowing he was drugged up and that he would roll his Rover

Yeah…….you just supplanted Ruff Ruff, congrats

As long as that smarmy, unlikable cheater Patrick Reed doesn’t win I’m cool.

You sound like you're a part of the patriarchy.

You’re just going to pretend that Tiger was not drugged, set up and then mysteriously flown out of the country just before the Masters 😆

Classic deep state. Haven’t seen this level of shenanigans since the Stanley Wilson kerfuffle before the ‘89 Super Bowl.

Picked 7 golfers to win. How they look so far is as follows:

Rahm +1000 — Um, wtf?

Åberg +1700 — Great front 9, fell apart as soon as he hit the turn. Still think he can make a run to get back to top 10 since he’s always finished strong here. Maybe contend to win if no one makes a move at the top.

X +1750 — I think he’ll be in contention come Sunday. Been knocking on the door here and driver seems to be on fire.

Cam Young +2200 — Terrible start but started to figure it out. Not sure if the pressure of being a popular pick got to his head but I think he can still make a run at top 10 by end of the tourney as well.

Fitz +2300 — Kind’ve unsure as to how he’ll end up. Solid round today until double on 18. Another popular pick to start the week.

Rose +3500 — Been knocking on the door here. Bogey, bogey end wasn’t what the doctor ordered. Based on history, he’ll be in contention come Sunday.

Reed +4200 — Don’t like the dude but he plays well here every year. Thought he was fighting for leader in the clubhouse after 1, but another who slightly ruined a great or OK round late.


As to who I think will actually win? Rory. Monkey seems to be off his back and he’s clearly playing with house money this year.

Great thing is that this is the Masters and weird stuff happens here. Couple that with the course shaping up to play the toughest it’s been in a few years with it drying out over the weekend due to no rain. Top of the leaderboard should be jumbled a ton when they all go out together Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Should be fun.
