Anybody going out on a limb and choosing a winner?

Sure;  I'll pick Xander S and C.T. Pan as my two predictions for winner.  If we were doing that thing we used to do for prediction contests, I'd probably make them my pick in the first and third choice slots though.

I'll give a free TST towel to the first person who names the winner (full name, not just last name) and the correct winning score in relation to par.

Only one entry per person, and your first entry is the only one that counts. Entries must be posted before 7am eastern time on Thursday.

This is a Players Towel, so they're quite nice.

Still thinking about my pick to win for the TST towel, but here is impressive stats, and although Tiger is awesome, I have to say the more impressive of the two is Jack's victory at age 46.

Youngest Winner
Tiger Woods – 21 years, 3 months, 14 days

Oldest Winner
Jack Nicklaus – 46 years, 2 months, 23 days

Tiger's win was more impressive. Both 1997 and 2019.

This hasn’t happened in a while. I can’t remember who last did it. 
 

Players that won the tournament the week before the Masters and then won the Masters.... maybe Lyle in 1988?

Jordan Spieth -14 because you know GOLF.

    • Day 22 - 2026-01-11 More mirror work. Back outdoors tomorrow.
    • Day 11, 1/11/26.  Today was putting, along about 6' of carpet, with coins on the ground to keep me cognizant of what I'm doing.  I think this is the at-home drill from LSW. (Ugh, missed two of the last four days -- 1/10 and 1/8)
    • Day 9: 2026.01.11 Hit some balls at the range, concentrating on weight distribution at address, got some on film.
    • Day 468 - 2026-01-11 Loooooong day. Did some work in the patio door (as a mirror) when I got home.
    • I caught a video on this driver; the face tech seems crazy. Looking at the heat map for ball speed, hitting it basically anywhere on the face only loses a few percent ball speed. The surprising and counter intuitive part to me was that for flat faced clubs, ball speed loss is directly proportional to distance loss. For clubs with bulge and roll this is apparently not true. The surprising part of that story being that the max distance potential looks to be a tiny pee sized area for this driver, and I feel in general for drivers. The counter intuitive part being (the myth?) that blade irons have a pee sized sweet spot and missing that tiny spot causes dramatic losses. And that modern drivers, maybe 2017 on, have massive sweet spots and are ultra forgiving. Where in reality, if this heat map data is valid and reliable, it might be a bit of the opposite. This insane tech driver appears to have a pea sized "sweet spot" while Mizuno Pro 241 irons are 28% more forgiving compared to the average of all clubs measured. Not compared to other players irons, compared to all clubs from all categories, players to SGI! The Pro 241 being essentially just a solid chunk of metal with no "tech" at all. Which for me devolves into a whole mess of what is forgiveness really? And in measurable and quantifiable results how many yards, or feet, does that translate into?
