Using these odds , let's have a little contest.

You have $100 to spend. You must spend it on three golfers in any distribution.

We'll award multipliers on the odds based on this scale:

1st place: 5x
2nd place: 4x
3rd place: 3x
4th place: 2x
5th place: 1x

If your player isn't in the top five, you lose all your money. I'll try to round up a prize for the winner, but your "bets" have to be in by midnight on Wednesday, EST.

For example, if someone chooses the winner and the fourth-place finisher with $25 bets at 20:1 and 100:1, he earns (20 * 5 * 25) + (100 * 2 * 25) = 25,000 + 5,000 = $3,000.

I have no idea whether this will work or not... My own bets (subject to change prior to the deadline) are:
  • $30 - Tiger Woods (5:1)
  • $30 - Davis Love III (40:1)
  • $40 - Stewart Cink (66:1)
Place your bets, gentlemen (and ladies)!

Let's see here:

$30 on Chris DiMarco (100:1)
$30 on Tiger Woods (5:1)
$40 on Sergio Garcia (33:1)

These picks are definitely subject to change before tomorrow night. Good job on getting the odds, this should be fun. I will definitely be keeping DiMarco at 100:1, but I don't know as far as the other two picks go.

Maybe. But that's not golf-related... We'll see.

I would have been a rich man in Vegas this week. I couldn't believe DiMarco was 100:1, I was taking that one for sure.

By the way, what a tournament!! That was absolutely golf at its best coming down to a duel of two great golfers.

I have to admit, I was wanting DiMarco to win very badly, and it had nothing to do with this betting competition. But Tiger just got it done again..

Great stuff.

I love the Masters. I love to watch it wether it's a blowout or a duel to the end. I always end up saying "wow that was cool."

DiMarco came through on that final 18. Had he not shot a 41 on his back 9 of the 3rd round, Ping might have some bragging rights. Instead it's Nike....again.

      I Love Charley Hull Now and Agree With Her Completely

      By jxdama ·

      MSN Glover expressed his dissatisfaction with what he termed as 'cool kid meetings' between Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tiger Woods and other high-profile golfers. "I think it's terrible," he stated. "And then hiding behind pace of play, I think, challenges our intelligence. They think we're stupid.     "Don't cut fields because it's a pace of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just say you're trying to appease six guys and make them happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf." Fitzpatrick joined the conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with the 30-year-old echoing Glover's sentiments regarding the PGA Tour changes. "He's so right," Fitzpatrick posted. "Pathetic that pace of play is spoken about every year and nothing ever gets done."     I agree. Instead of  penalizing  players for  turtle  play they appease the  slow jerks  by  cutting the  fields. They will play even slower  knowing they will NEVER be  penalized.

      My Swing (Dobiwankenobi5)

      By DobiWanKenobi5 ·

      I've been Playing Golf for: 3 years  My current handicap index or average score is: 1.5 My typical ball flight is: neutral /slight draw The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: hook   Looking for some advice please folks. Started golfing three years ago and got hooked. Had some early lessons and was a slicer etc.  I used to have a severe inside takeaway and through working hard to fix as ever (this game…) it’s now gone too far the other way where I take it back way outside.  i think it looks really bad and have gotten a lesson last year where we tried to competely reset the swing and it ruined things for months as I couldn’t get it to stick (my fault).    anyway do I need to fix this? I hit it reasonably solid but don’t know what else I’m looking at or need to clean up. All opinions welcomed!  Videos:

      The Films and Movies Thread

      A local film critic gave the movie “Wicked” a great review. I saw the stage musical several years ago (pre-COVID) and enjoyed it. Likely won’t see the cinematic version but one never knows. I probably will go to “Gladiator 2” at some point unless the reviews are terrible.
