Is a late start good or bad, presumably depends what the weather is like?

No idea, but agree about the weather

Exactly.
Hopefully no weather bias.

[Jaydog]

Late start for me with Min Woo Lee going at 5.15 and then Gotterup and Arberg in the same group at 6.08

So probably an early 2nd round tee time.
Mrs Gotterup will be getting Mr Gotterup up early.

[Pullhard]

Scheffler 5/1
Aberg 16/1
JJ Spaun 100/1
Total 121/1

[Evan R]

Exactly.
Hopefully no weather bias.

Shouldn't be much of one, per the latest forecast (save for a little wind on Thursday). In general, the mornings tend to be gustier than the afternoons at Augusta, and thus a lot of the First Round Leader winners tend to come from the late starters. But overall this is shaping up to be one of the better Masters of recent vintage, weather wise. Almost here!

[Barlow Boy]

Exactly.
Hopefully no weather bias.

Blimey, I’m an expert already and it hasn’t even kicked off yet.

I think you & Leon know more than you let on

But seriously a heavy draw bias is no good at all.
Like in horse racing.
Hopefully not.

15:07 Bryson DeChambeau (US), Matt Fitzpatrick (Eng), Xander Schauffele (US)

That’s a helluva group.

Leon, yes, reigning champ.

Me, no, mid-table mediocrity last time I feel.

What page are the rules on and the list of golfers, please?

GOLF COMP 2026 RULES.
1. Select 3 players from the list that add up to a minimum of 101/1
You can choose a completely different trio for every major.
2. Your final total of the trio added together is the total for that major and is carried forward. The lowest score wins. In other words if your trio is -5/-3/+3 then you are -5 total.
3. Missed cut. I’m going with a +3 penalty. I want to keep it competitive. Tempted by 0 but lets go with +3
This is added to your total trio score if applicable.
4. Bonus. -5 for the winner of each major if included in your trio. -2 for the runner up.
If you select the winner and they are 66/1 or bigger you get an additional -2 bonus.
5. You can change your trio prior to the first tee time of each major however would appreciate just 1 or 2 done at the same time.

No rule re player selection. So you can reuse a player multiple times. I pondered limiting this to only selecting a player once through all 4 majors but too complicated.

That’s a good thing. Great comp if it gives you an interest in a sport you would otherwise bypass.
The Masters is pure theatre.
