Ian Woosnam is tiny.
Legitimately didn't recognize Bubba until I realized he wasn't any of the others. That neckbeard is terrible.

went down the rabbit hole last night on articles, predictions and stats and here are what stuck out:
For those looking to bet on a winner after round 1, each of the past 18 years the winner was in the top 10 after round 1 with the exception of Tiger in 2019 and 2005.
10 of the last 12 champs gained 1.7 strokes or better from tee to green the 3 months prior to the masters, the players that fit this are Scottie, Xander, Hideki, Si Woo, Rory and JT. They don't track LIV so you have to think Rahm and Niemann fit there as well.

No 1st timer at the Masters has ever won, but they sure were hyping him up last night on the Golf Channel as the guy who can end that streak.

Has anyone here ever been a spectator at The Masters? What's the scene like? I am fairly new to golf, so I wasn't aware of the concession prices. How "diverse" is the gallery?

Oh, it's very diverse. Lots of different shades of white.

Updated: April 10, 2024 – AUGUSTA, Ga. – The first round of the 88th Masters Tournament could be affected by inclement weather as dangerous conditions are predicted to arrive early Thursday.
There’s a 90% chance of showers and thunderstorms prior to 1 p.m., with wind gusts of 40-45 mph between 8 a.m. ET and noon. That would create potentially dangerous conditions and push back tee times, possibly bringing Friday into play for the conclusion of Round 1.
“A cold front is forecast to bring a band of rain and scattered thunderstorms through the region between 6 a.m.-1 p.m. ET Thursday. Heavy rainfall and occasional wind gusts of 40-45 mph are anticipated over this period. A lull in precipitation should occur behind the cold front between 1-4 p.m. ET before scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms drift back into the region for the late afternoon and evening hours.
“Windy conditions persist Friday under mostly sunny skies as a dry and stable airmass settles into the area. Mostly sunny skies can be expected through the weekend with west to southwesterly winds in the 7-15 mph range.”
Thursday: Mostly cloudy with a 90% chance of showers and thunderstorms prior to 1 p.m. ET. Partly cloudy with a 40% chance of showers and isolated thunderstorms after 4 p.m. Forecast rainfall: 1-1 1/2 inches. Wind gusts of 40-45 mph between 8 a.m.-noon.
Low: 65F High: 77F Winds: S shifting SW 15-25; gusts 30-35 mph.
Friday: Mostly sunny and windy. Noticeably less humid.
Low: 54F High: 72F Winds: W 15-20; gusts 30 mph.

Went 2 years ago. Gallery is about what you would expect. Concession prices are amazing but the food is just very mid. Like gas station food. They make up for the cheap food with eye popping prices for merchandise. Like 130 bucks for a polo type prices.
Great experience though. Going to do it again when the kids are a little older.

According to multiple past winners, similar to last year, Phil Mickelson remained quiet, and despite being close to Rahm, he elected not to give a toast.

You can "cast" it to your TV through the app. At least you could last year.

Yup. Any streaming device should work - Roku for example. Probably works right to your TV assuming it's smart.

Been a few times and this is 100% correct. You walk the course one day and get wore slap out with all the up & down. You watch it on the TV the next day and you'd think they were playing every shot off a flat road. That might have been one of the most surprising thing going there for the first time. The elevation changes are pretty pronounced.back to back same day would kill Tiger, I've never been on property but all I heard this morning on a new breed of golf (sirius 92) was just how much elevation change there acutally is out there and how television just doesn't show it.Right, the early rd 1 groups may avoid playing Fri all together.Starting to wonder if early Th is the play.
