It’s Here. Masters Week. <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Deep breaths – stay calm. We\u2019ve arrived at Masters week – the most sacred four days on any golf fan\u2019s calendar. The history of golf has unfolded at this track, and it runs through our blood to be fully engaged this week. Amen Corner\u2019s beauty has you believing that prayers get answered as the first major championship arrives at our doorstep. The PGA Tour and LIV Golf\u2019s best descend on Augusta National for a week of pageantry and aesthetic beauty where golf immortality is on the line.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The last exemption ticket to Augusta was not punched by anyone at the Valero Texas Open as Corey Conners triumphed and was already in the field on his world ranking. Though I came close to another outright W, the spring doldrums continued after a red-hot start for my 2023 picks. Maybe we\u2019re just playing it like old-school Tiger and creating a crescendo as we\u2019re peaking for major success this week. Time to look past the azaleas and cheap concessions and find ourselves a winner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Picture Perfect Landscape<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Augusta National presents like a landscape painting both on television and in real life. I finally checked off a visit to Augusta at last year\u2019s practice rounds, and it presents even more impressively when you\u2019re there. What immediately becomes apparent is that every shot in the bag is required to win here. Rarely is there a flat lie on the course, the undulation is 10x more daunting than it does on the TV screen, and the surfaces are as slippery as they come. Augusta has been the leading figure in course expansion to fight distance in golf, and with a further stretched out par 5 13th, the track now plays over 7500 yards in length. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s no need to tout the biggest names in the field because they are all there – LIV golfers included. Notable PGA Tour stars on streaks like defending champion Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, and Jon Rahm are all itching at the chance to tee it up The Masters again, while past champions Phil Mickelson, Dustin Johnson, Patrick Reed, and more lead the cohort of LIV Tour golfers who will be here every year for life thanks to their past champions\u2019 status. It\u2019s a great week to watch inside-the-ropes drama, and all get a gauge on how ready these LIV Golfers are to compete without a guaranteed payout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forecasting the Masters<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

More than anything, Augusta National is a learned track. It\u2019s no wonder you\u2019ll find names as old Fred Couples or Bernhard Langer float on the early leaderboard – it takes time to learn the ins and outs of scoring here unless you\u2019re Scottie Scheffler. The combo at Augusta based on recent champions and contenders has always led with the putter (specifically short putts) and been paired with a decisive game plan to attack each hole. I\u2019ll lean heavily on guys that are good short putters, and compliant my card with familiar names that are due to don green and have come close before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Who\u2019s hot and trending \u2013<\/strong> recent high finishes, top-10 streaks, and consistent play are never a bad thing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Horses for courses \u2013 <\/strong>players love certain courses and course familiarity and experience are invaluable in a field of the world\u2019s best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. What the numbers tell you this week \u2013<\/strong> while I\u2019m far from analytical, there\u2019s always a tournament darling or two scattered across the golf talk stratosphere that stuns on paper.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Intangibles \u2013<\/strong> while this allows for theater of the mind, there\u2019s a mysterious optimism surrounding that feels \u201cdue\u201d or if the price looks just right for buying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the Valero Texas Open, Matt Kuchar was circling the leaderboard all week and nearly had a heck of an ace on Saturday to boot. Nonetheless, his tie for third was just as I predicted he would play\u2026but not enough for the W. Outside of Kuch I had three others on my board make the weekend and play pedestrian golf – the picks were a C+.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

THE PICKS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

(Wanna start a Pick-X pool with your friends? Learn more <\/em>here<\/em><\/a>! Or, if you’re looking to start your own PGA One-and-Done pool, check those out <\/em>here<\/em><\/a>) (Hint: the main difference between the two is how many players you’ll pick each week)<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

1: Jon Rahm – If it\u2019s possible, he\u2019s coming in a little under the radar amidst the LIV golf drama and Scottie and Rory\u2019s recent form at the Match Play. He\u2019s regularly contending here and due for a big splash.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2: Cam Smith – Speaking of splashes, how about the highest-ranked LIV golfer in the field taking home the green jacket this week? I have a funny feeling we\u2019ll see a LIV\/PGA clash on Sunday and it could very well include Smith, who outta well on these greens. He tied for third here last year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3: Cameron Young – I guess we\u2019re going double Cams because it\u2019s hard to avoid how consistently well Cam Young has played. This is a tricky course for newbies but he\u2019s one of the few that can solve it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4: Joaquin Niemann – My second LIV golf target this week is a younger, fiercer brand of LIV golf that seems to be in a good place in life and in golf. He plays a fearless brand of golf that should cut through the tension of the week.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5: Min Woo Lee – The Aussie has crept up the world rankings and is now a familiar sight in the world’s biggest events – time for him to thrive on a major championship stage.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

6: Justin Rose: Going off at surprisingly low odds, people forget how close Justin Rose has come to a green jacket here. The Pebble Beach winner is still going along nicely and should see weekend camera time if his irons and wedges are dialed.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

RYP <\/strong>One and Done <\/strong><\/a>Pick: Cam Smith<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Deets<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Where to watch: <\/strong>Golf Channel and CBS all week. Don\u2019t forget Live from Amen Corner on streaming devices, and take a drink every time the \u201cAugusta\u201d piano riff drops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why to watch:<\/strong> It\u2019s a tradition unlike any other. It\u2019s the Masters. Also, a week of PGA Tour vs LIV drama is sure to ensue on the grounds at ANGC.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What to eat: There are<\/strong> two plays – take a page out of Scottie\u2019s playbook and craft his champions dinner menu items (sliders anyone?), or just slap some pimiento cheese on white bread and go crazy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
