The Masters 2025

I think Masters is number 1 for me. The Open is great too, but I think something about the Masters finishing late in our time so you can watch it in the evening makes it better somehow. They can be joint 1st. 😄 Vast majority will have them 1 and 2 anyway, with USO 3rd and PGA 4th.

I prefer the masters like probably because as you say it’s the one I see the most of and it’s the kick off of the golfing so normally buzzing off that as well

Tiger was a Titan, whose golf angered the Olympians, as he was better than they. In 2008 they tried to curtail his US Open by wounding him, but his win, even more impressive than before, so enraged them that they set about destroying his life completely. They took their eye off him after that considering their work complete. But the Titan's golf was so powerful, that the 2019 Masters, a feat so great even Zeus himself knew he could never better, and he was driven to a fury, hurling a thunderbolt at Hawthorne Avenue, breaking our Titan Woods definitively. Even the other Olympians rebuked Zeus for going too far, as gods and mortals alike, shed a collective tear.

Self inflicted thunderbolt perhaps...😉

Its a bit of a cheapskate bait and switch though to only have one round on Augusta national, and only some of them at that. Its just too half hearted to take as sincere, or is overstating what it is a little cynically billed.

The 32 who made the cut get two rounds (tomorrow being a practice round for Saturdays final round); those who didn’t still get to play it tomorrow. Remember that these young women, many still teenagers, are also just still amateurs. In my eyes it’s a fantastic opportunity that doesn’t exist for the blokes, and I just think it’s great that Augusta have moved and created the event. There’s much to be cynical about in the sphere of professional men’s golf…I don’t think there is much, if anything, about ANWA to be cynical about.

The Masters is the greatest spectacle, but I have to rank it 4th in importance as it has the weakest field and is an invitational.

The Open 1st then US Oprn and then PGA.

One of the most deluded takes I've ever seen about anything.

It’s prob 3rd best then 👍

As already been said most people will put it joint 1st or second.
I don't buy the argument that it's a weaker field because the 89th beat player in the world isn't playing at all.
The PGA is somewhere behind the players and above the hero Indian open.

How did you arrive at 89th?
Wouldn't 51st be closer?

89th ? What about the 51st

It’s a restricted field and too many places filled with players that have zero chance but are there because they won 30/40 years ago

He would have more of a chance than the likes of

Singh , Langer , Z Johnson , Weir or any other ex winner that’s not been competitive for years

Johnson has won a major more recently than Rory.
It's obviously hypothetical but the majority of those not good enough to get in would likely miss the cut anyway.
Plus it was cool when couples used to do well in it in his 60s
 
Looking forward to it
It's a great watch... despite its traditional 'shortcomings' And overly manufactured appearance
The broadcast time is as bad as the rest of the PGAT

The Open is, by a stretch, the absolute No1

I'm putting the two opens top and the two others out of sight 2nd.
People are told they love the Masters, it's a triumph of wealthy Septic self-agrandissement and marketing.
The PGA is just a tour event with added choppers.
 
A lot of the attachment (clearly not all of course) to the Masters comes with the familiarity of it being at the SAME course, every year….so it’s so easy to get to know the holes, and where is a good miss, a bad miss, where the tough holes are and which ‘should’ be birdie opportunities etc. It’s like nostalgia TV because it’s so familiar.

If every US Open was held at Pinehurst No. 2, and every Open at Carnoustie for example, then I bet people would get to know, and then eulogise, the holes the way they do at Augusta….lets be honest, the 14th and 17th are not at all special there

Having said that, it’s the Major that I would want to win after the Open - and by a long way ahead of the US Open and the PGA
