Let's do $20 whichever player does better and then a 2x multiplier if your guy wins. So you either win $20 or $40.
I’m down. Who ya got?

Sounds good.I might need to flip a coin, I really like 4-5 guys this week: DJ (it's just so hard to repeat), JT, Xander, Morikawa, Finau.
I think Xander breaks through this week. I'll take him.
I’d take it at my current age to be honest.I aspire to be as fit at 65 as Gary Player is at 85.
My only complaint is you can't separate out favorite players for the leaderboard and My Group. I favorite the guys on my team to keep track on the leaderboard but I don't need to watch every shot Robert Streb hits.My group is working. They are showing shots of golfers on the course, then as the players that you favorite comes on they'll load those shots.

The Players wins on the streaming options front.
Sorry, I was unclear. My issue is I set my favorites to include the players from my fantasy team so I can keep tabs of them on the leaderboard. I just don't need to see all of their shots. I'd prefer to be able to go to my groups and set a second unique set of favorites to watch, like Rory when he goes off.Once players from your favorites start to play, don't they weed out shots from other players?
If they did that, next year they would no longer be showing live highlights on SportsCenter nor would ESPN+ have streaming rights anymore.On a side note, I completely understand that the actual broadcast of The Masters (on both CBS and ESPN) is 100% controlled by Augusta National. (They pay the networks for the time and produce the broadcast, which is how/why they can dictate the announcers and control how they talk about the course itself.) However, when ESPN covers the tournament as part of Sportscenter (as they did this morning) I would think that they have an obligation to actually report things objectively.
I say all of the above because I found the coverage of the honorary starters (with the deserved focus on Lee Elder) to be unsettling, in the sense that ESPN acted as a mouthpiece for Augusta National's propaganda. And while I'm deeply appreciative that AN is actively attempting to atone for their racial transgressions, that really shouldn't be presented without acknowledging that Cliff Roberts ran Augusta National as a shrine to white supremacy for decades, right down to his insistence that the membership be 100% white and the staff who provided service to the members (waitstaff and caddies) be 100% black.
I'll move off of this now, but this stood out for me in the coverage this morning precisely because ESPN presented it as part of Sportscenter and not as a partner of Augusta National.
Man, DJ, Westwood, and Stafaci is quite an odd featured group. DJ is, of course, always worth watching. The other two. . . .not so much.First featured group is at 10:06.
Here's today's lineup:
10:06 Bubba, Brooks, Hovland
10:30 DJ, Westwood, Stafaci
1:48 Finau, Oosthuizen, JT
2:00 Spieth, Morikawa, Smith
They always put the defending champ and the US Am champ together and toss them on a featured group. Roll of the dice on who the 3rd will be. Guess it came up Westwood. He's fun, though I'm more interested in watching the big guns like Rory.Man, DJ, Westwood, and Stafaci is quite an odd featured group. DJ is, of course, always worth watching.

The other three groups are perfect and fantastic.
By the way, imagine you're Stafaci and nobody has ever heard of you and then you're a featured group golfer in The Masters. That is awesome and also extremely intimidating. Of course, playing with cool, not outwardly intense dudes like DJ and Westwood probably helps.They always put the defending champ and the US Am champ together and toss them on a featured group.

Add guys to your favorites list to get them on My Group?My Group on the website is really firing on all cylinders now. I don't think I've gone 5 seconds without a new shot.
Definitely, but consecutive birdies on 15 and 16 to get back to +1.Koepka looks like he is hurting
To come to the defense of the old guy for a moment, although he missed a couple of cuts, in 2021 Westwood has two top five finishes a top 20 and he's 28th in FedEx Cup points. He is having a pretty good year thus far. Checking his card today, 40 through 9, he's got some work to do to stay in this one but I wouldn't be so fast to dismiss him as uninteresting.They always put the defending champ and the US Am champ together and toss them on a featured group.
