There is a thread discussing the tournament but this is a challenge. Here is the game, pick 3 golfers: 1 from the top 10, 1 from 11-20, and one from outside the top 20 based on the current World Golf Rankings

At the end, we will add up where they finished, lowest number wins. Pretty simple math.

If somebody doesn't make the cut (or doesn't finish), they score a 55 since the number of players on the weekend is 50+ ties, it usually ends up being 50-55 players.

Play along if you think you know golf or even if you don't. For reference, here are the Masters Odds from CBS Sports which could help if you don't follow the game too closely.

What you can win... nothing. Everybody's already a winner and will receive a virtual trophy.


Hint: All of the players in the top 30 from the world golf rankings are in the field. If you are going to pick somebody outside the top 30, it's on you to verify they are actually in the field..

2 - Tiger
3 - Spieth

Way to keep 'em honest.

Woods has won 80 official PGA Tour events, second only to Sam Snead (82), and seven ahead of Jack Nicklaus's 73 wins. (See List of golfers with most PGA Tour wins.)
Woods has won 14 majors, second all time behind Jack Nicklaus' 18.
Woods is 14–1 when going into the final round of a major with at least a share of the lead.
Woods scoring average in 2000 is the lowest in PGA Tour history, both adjusted, 67.79, and unadjusted, 68.17.[1]
Woods has the lowest career scoring average in PGA Tour history.
Woods has amassed the most career earnings of any player in PGA Tour history (even after inflation is considered).
Woods is one of five players (along with Gene Sarazen, Ben Hogan, Gary Player, and Jack Nicklaus) to have won all four professional major championships in his career, known as the Career Grand Slam, and was the youngest to do so.[2]
Woods is the only player to have won all four professional major championships in a row, accomplishing the feat in the 2000–2001 seasons. This feat became known as the "Tiger Slam".
Woods set the all-time PGA Tour record for most consecutive cuts made, with 142. The streak started in 1998, he set the record at the 2003 Tour Championship with 114 (passing Byron Nelson's previous record of 113 and Jack Nicklaus at 105) and extended this mark to 142 before it ended on May 13, 2005 at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship. Many consider this to be one of the most remarkable golf accomplishments of all time, given the margin by which he broke the old record and given that during the streak, the next longest streak by any other player was usually only in the 10s or 20s.[3][4][5][6] It should be noted that when Byron Nelson played far fewer players made the cut in a given event.[citation needed]
Woods has won a record 23.0% (80 out of 348) of his professional starts on the PGA Tour.
Woods is the only golfer to have won the U.S. Amateur three consecutive times (1994–96).
Awards records
Woods has been the PGA Player of the Year a record eleven times.
Woods has been the PGA Tour Player of the Year a record eleven times.
Woods has been the PGA Tour Money Leader a record ten times.
Woods has been the Vardon Trophy winner a record nine times.
Woods has been the recipient of the Byron Nelson Award a record nine times.

Tiger will get another green jacket. That's my whole bracket.

I just don't care enough to research who's in the top10 or top 50, not that Im trying to disparage the spirit of your thread.

Rory
Jason Day
Webb Simpson

1) Bryson Dechambeau
2) Tiger Woods
3) Francesco Molinari

This was pretty incredible/absurd today at the Par 3 Challenge...

Brooks Keopka
Paul Casey
Phil Mickelson

Just as everybody predicted, Justin Harding and Patton Kizzire are off to the hot start.

It's getting crowded at the top today and -3 seems to be the sweet spot.

Because, for a lot of people he's the only golfer that they know and is worth following. When he's not in the tournament I choose not to watch. Most of the other guys are stiffs, robots, show no emotion, however you want to phrase it. Not interested in them.

Keopka is tied for the lead.... he's won three of the last six majors he's played in, has won the last two U.S. Opens and nobody talks about the guy.

I hope y'all appreciate how I set up this challenge and then picked the crappiest team to make sure I wouldn't win.

I currently have 2 that might not make the cut...

It's a shame "a lot of people" feel that way.. there are a lot of great golfers and great guys on the tour.. and Tiger has actually matured a lot, he doesn't throw his clubs or shout the F word with the camera on him nearly as much as he used to.

Your selflessness is legendary.

What Jason Day is doing with a bad back is legendary.. dude was struggling to bend down and get his ball out of the hole yesterday and he shot 66 today...

They called a rain delay and the feed from Masters.com is still on even though it's been a bit of time since they called the delay. Right now there is only a view of trees and the leaderboard but the audio is open and the crowd didn't exactly leave the area as they sound like they are still partying.

We would too.

BTW. Looks like possibilty of rain all weekend down there.

So slick off the fairways, a security guard almost took Tiger out when he slipped and slide into Tiger’s ankle.

Just looked at the forecast, slim chance this gets finished on Sunday.

Total score of the three or the sum of their finishing place?

My three guys are a combined 8 under. Rory is killing me. How are you guys doing?

1-Justin Thomas T16 -3
2-Tiger Woods T6 -6

Butthole.
