This used to be more of a star studded field. Used to love this event. Seems like the big names are staying away from it now.

You can say those players are the stars from the European Tour this year plus Patrick Reed. Five players from the winning Ryder Cup team (Bjorn is injured), Molinari, eleven players from the top 50 OWGR. It's not top top of the World (McIlroy, Garcia, Kaymer) so in that case you're right. As an ET follower to me this seems like an awesome field and tournament.

I dunno, I really like the field this year. Incredible players. But yeah they are mainly Euro stars.

Wow, G-Mac got uncharacteristically angry at that second shot into the par 5. Slammed his club into the fairway. He's 4 up...relax dude, haha.

    • Day 200 3-4 Wider back swing, arms up a bit higher, and added in some flow work to start getting a since of a full swing. Still focusing on arching wrist through downswing. 
    • It's going to be very difficult for the 2026 Masters to match the 2025 edition for storyline. I honestly don't know that anyone else in the field could match the story of Rory finally winning after so many years and the blow ups over the years, not to mention the career slam being completed. No one this year that I can think of is remotely close to that kind of story. Combine that with the attempts at blow ups last year (Double on the 1st, 13, 18 on first try) and the stunningly good shots that he hit in the final round (7, 15, 17, 18 on second try).  Full gamut: https://www.masters.com/en_US/watch/2025-04-13/17445961638226475/every_single_shot_from_rory_mcilroys_final_round.html
    • Let's kick off the 2026 Masters talk with… a look back at 2025 (coming soon):
    • Wow, so Europe named Luke for a third term. Luke Donald named 2027 European Ryder Cup Captain Luke Donald named 2027 European Ryder Cup Captain Who will the U.S. name? I hope not Tiger Woods.
    • I am playing Arrowhead for the first time and I am pumped.  What are some things that I need to make sure and appreciate, for those that have played it before and love it? It has been a pretty dry winter so I am expecting rough to be forgiving which is nice and it will be playing much easier than it does in the late summer (I am assuming based on other colorado courses).  What should I make sure to not miss?
