The Masters 2025

[Arthur Wedge]

There must be something deeper than lets run a tournament.
A bit of woke flagging ? Mens version doesnt seem to attract the same interest. Or if they were really committed, they would hold a ladies Masters which would automatically give women a true third major.

Woke flagging ?

Maybe it’s just dragging themselves into the modern world where they are looking to encourage the sport for all

The ANWA tournament was established by the Augusta National Golf Club a few years ago to raise the profile of women's amateur golf. There isn't an amateur men's equivalent - though each year maybe half a doz of the top amateur men get invites to The Masters. It's held as now right before The Masters as the world of golf's attention turns to The Masters. I'll let the words of the club itself describe it better than I.

'The Augusta National Women’s Amateur was announced on Wednesday, April 4, 2018, by Augusta National Chairman Fred Ridley during his annual press conference at the Masters Tournament. The event was established to inspire greater interest and participation in the women’s game by creating a new, exciting and rewarding pathway for these players to fulfill their dreams'

See Rory already setting his excuses up with the dodgy elbow line. Either that or he's trying to take a bit of pressure of himself.

Or maybe simply he has a dodgy elbow?

And yet only one of the three rounds is played over the Augusta National course.

Smacks of tokenism and not unlike the Drive, Chip & Putt contest for kids.

Or he has an elbow issue

Or you know, he has a bit of an elbow issue.

Has Rory been getting some coaching off Andy Murray's mum? When you know you won't win make up an injury

I'm wondering how well the dirty dozen will play. You'd be forgiven for thinking it's just between Scotty and Rory. I'm sure BDC has other ideas.

This was a good move from an organisation not previously known for its inclusiveness.

Probably RSI from nudging people not to join LIV.

My moneys on Justin Thomas at 20/1.
Although I think Scottie wins it.
Can’t back him at 4s tho

 

[Mel Smooth]

Saw an interesting poll today on X

4 choices to win.
Scottie
Rory
A LIV golfer
The Field

Reckon I'd go for The Field if I was asked under pressure.

I just cant see anyone not in the field winning it this year.

Awful banter

 

[SteveW86]

Bit harsh calling Augusta a field

Bit harsh calling Augusta a field

In fact it’s a field that is actually a lot hillier than you think, with apparently very well priced food.

 

[Pin-seeker]

Bit harsh calling Augusta a field

Again…….. Awful banter
Come on guys we can do better

Woke flagging ?

Yes. Showing belles can do more than than just flounce in white dresses drinking mint juleps on the balcony of Augusta Country Club while the menfolk have the tournament over at Bobby's place.
