He's fit as a fiddle so can't see him going anywhere for a few years.

Every now and again my da would sit me down and put on his Arnold palmer fundamentals VHS.
"This is all you will ever need to know" he would say.
Little did he know he got me hooked on a lifetime of golf tutorial videos.

I did a quick check of who won the Masters to see who could slot in. Assuming you have to have won it more than once, that is my own comment, and be old enough to be classed as a ceremonial golfer the only two that fit are Ben Crenshaw and Tom Watson. Tom Watson would be the best fit IMO but he may not see himself in that role yet.

Poor bloke.
Going to send him some Food vouchers and advise to get his free bus pas ASAP.
Ha ha. I meant how does he make his $40m p/a. That is a huge amount of money.

I would suggest only Nicklaus and Player have the cachet unless they can persuade Watson into doing it. Can't see him agreeing for a few years yet

Does it have to be an American player? Three-time winner Sir Nick could have a go!
I think people are excluding the likes of Faldo, Olazabal, Langer, multiple winners, due to their comparitively young age. Maybe time has moved on though and they are exactly the type of people who should be looked at, if they have retired of course. Langer I suspect may still tee up for example. Perhaps they could rotate the three each year rather than keep to the same three players.
I suspect none of the above will happen as The Masters is mired in syrup but it makes sense to me anyway.

Would prefer to see no one else added - don't think anyone has reached their levels just yet.
Just stick with Nicklaus and Player

I agree. The whole point of the ceremonial starters is honouring those players who are legends but don't tee it up anymore. The likes of Watson, Langer and Ollie are all likely to start and more than capable of making the cut, Langer and Ollie in particular. They are some way off of being ceremonial starters.
I think you're right. I would suggest the likes of Floyd and Watson or Crenshaw in years to come

Floyd is a possibility but he isnt in the same echelon as Nicklaus and Player.
Agreed

I do find watching his swing mesmeric though. so unorthodox but i cant take my eyes off of it!
