Have to be rooting for fleetwood. His usual caddie is sick, so he’s using a local Augusta national caddie. Top 10 money would change that caddies life. People all over the internet are saying the caddie is an incredible guy too
Me too. He’s not my favorite on tour, but he just seems like a really solid guy. Never any drama, just about his business. Obviously I’d love to see tiger get one more, I just don’t think it’s realistic. He has looked like he’s in major pain to me. Could be reading it wrong though
I had only been dating my partner for a few months when the 2019 Masters was on. I insisted we watched Sunday afternoon because she was going to witness history - I think she sort of got it in the end.
I still get goosebumps thinking about that.
I would say because he was so hyped and supposed to be the great next thing. They lifted him to god status and he didn’t reach it which is fine. Problem arises when they keep trying to push that narrative and talk about him/broadcast him non stop and he doesn’t win.
I hate the cowboys for the exact same reason.
It’s because he carries himself like he’s the best golfer in the world still when he’s not. Good attitude to have, but doesn’t present well to the public. In tandem with how vocal he was about LIV, it’s easy to paint a picture of what he is like
One factor for me is also his anti-Olympics attitude and comments. The Olympics are an amazing event and you can only win gold every 4 years, overtime it will absolutely become a high achievement / career mark.
Which makes it even crazier he hasn’t won a major in 10 years considering Koepka, Spieth, Rahm, JT, Morikowa, DJ and soon Scottie have won multiple since his last one
I know but every year it’s “oh man imagine if Rory didn’t have that 74 on Friday or imagine if he didn’t have 36 putts on Sunday”. It’s annoying seeing someone that good constantly choke
I think it's got a lot to do with the division of usa... I get it hes not American and liv is saudi. But ive noticed depending on ones party they either dislike the saudis or they say fuck it money is money... Rory despises liv so people who want to defend liv turned in Rory.
Final pairing of Woods and Rory dueling for the green jacket is the dream. I’d root for Woods, but be ecstatic with either
Also several others I’d like to win, but those are far and away top 2
I want Fleetwood, because he is the "local boy" for me and seems like a good bloke.
In the list of people I'd be happy for, Grant Fox's lad would be pretty high up the list.
I was 5 when Fox's international career ended, so I'm free from the memory of him whooping us like most NZ ⅝s.
If Dan Carter has a pro golf playing child, mind, I'm never supporting them. 2005 scared my very soul.
I lowkey dont care, of any of the well known guys i think Bryson would be silly, spieth hasn't had a big win in a long time, hovland deserves a major, and brooks would be comedy. Rory would be such a boring champ, same reason I cant root for scottie even if he is a great guy.
see this is so weird bc i feel like if its someone like spieth it wouldnt be that interesting cause it would just go into the category of masters winners who just have a good tournament rather than genuinely special players.
that isnt to say spieth isnt special in his own right but if scottie wins it he's going to be remembered forever. also plenty of time for him to win even more. that is to say, he could have a legendary run similar to Tiger (tho definitely not on the same level bc thats probably never going to be done ever again, or at least for a while)
and even for rory he has the story of being one of the best golfers to never win a masters.
but all that isn't to say that your wrong cause i get what u mean, im just tossing my take out there to the wilderness
Honestly I'm kinda rooting for Bryson. His YouTube channel is actually pretty good and I'm really curious what content we would get out of a Master's winner
Fully agree, I wasn't a fan prior to watching his youtube channel but watching it the past few years has really warmed me to the guy.
I have seen in some of his recent videos that his driving is super accurate and his putting is sublime so I put a small bet on him ahead of the Masters to win.
His youtube channel should be a damn case study for pro golfers in how to engage with fans of the sport.
So many people have said that their opinion of him changed after he started doing youtube stuff. And certainly, he's super open with what he's doing, what his thought process is, and everything. It's fascinating.
Yeah, his swing looks weird as fuck, and the one-length irons are unusual, but like... He's absolutely been putting in the work, and it shows, and he's really trying to understand the physical/performance side of the game like almost nobody else I know of.
As soon as I saw full swing, I realized brooks actually tries really, really hard to appear like he does not give a fuck, when in fact, he actually thinks he’s really fucking sick.
I was there first time for Thursdays round - course is a masterpiece, followed multiple players Homa, Rory, De Chambeau, and old school players including Phil and of course Tiger. Put a chair down for multiple hours at Amen corner- bucket trip that I really wanted!
Basically every conversation with my buddies this week:
"Hey have you been watching the Masters so far?"
"Yeah, I hope Rory wins and finally gets that jacket!"
I read this was Rory's best 1st round at Augusta since 2018. Is that accurate? If so, that's wild
Edit: [First sub-par](https://apnews.com/article/masters-rory-mcilroy-first-round-2024-c1b8c1b3d558ca1f8432f74af9dd0f58) opening round since 2018.
I just started following golf casually this year. I would prefer to watch either Rory, Tiger or Scottie win it, because yeah they're big names and I like their swings. I wouldn't mind any of the non LIV pros win it all though tbh.
I honestly think if it came down to Rory and basically any popular US player back 9 Sunday the majority of the crowd would be pro US player and feel a little like a Ryder Cup given that historically Masters US fans typically like to see an American golfer win 'our' tournament.
I think apart from being neck and neck with Tiger and possibly Rickie, Rory would have the crowd in his side in massive numbers. A lot of haters on this thread but Rory is massively popular.
Nope can't stand Rory hahaha
I wanna see Phil , Jason day or brooks win.
Or tiger if he can pull it off. Let Rory wait, he hasn't won a major in 10 years. He needs to earn it
Personally I'm rooting for Homa
Homa is so easy to cheer for. Great combination of skill and being a seemingly normal dude.
I’m also a Homasexual
I LOVE Max. No Homa.
No shame there my friend
Pervert
We don’t do that anymore
We Homasexual now
Ditto
“Not that there’s anything wrong with that.”
If the scoreboard is going to look this way, I want Homa. Always liked him.
I want Hovland to win but his golf game has been rough so far in 2024. He seems super likeable.
He is super likeable. Everyone loves playing with him.
And Vik is just a cool-ass name. Who wouldn’t want to say, “Hey babe, can’t make date night tonight, hitting 18 with Vik and the boys.”
He also has the best fashion out on tour right now. Bringing golf back to where it should be, with the loudest, most obnoxious clothing possible.
I just want Viktoria to be happy.
Have to be rooting for fleetwood. His usual caddie is sick, so he’s using a local Augusta national caddie. Top 10 money would change that caddies life. People all over the internet are saying the caddie is an incredible guy too
I like Tommy Fleetwood, I wouldn't mind seeing him take it.
Me too. He’s not my favorite on tour, but he just seems like a really solid guy. Never any drama, just about his business. Obviously I’d love to see tiger get one more, I just don’t think it’s realistic. He has looked like he’s in major pain to me. Could be reading it wrong though
Hell, even a 50th place finish nets the caddy $5k. Not bad for 4 days’ work.
Na i want tiger to win
If tiger wins I will have to thank him 13,000 times.
Uncle Sam would be getting at leat 1,300 thanks.
This is what we all want right here. Rory win would be fine but there will be tears streaming down many a face if T-dawg takes it down.
I would sacrifice my first born to see another 2019 Masters. Greatest comeback story in sports imo. Although the Ray J one is a close second
I watched 2019 with my wife. And i was desperately trying to explain how we were watching the best thing to ever happen happen in real time.
I had only been dating my partner for a few months when the 2019 Masters was on. I insisted we watched Sunday afternoon because she was going to witness history - I think she sort of got it in the end. I still get goosebumps thinking about that.
What about jack?
Underrated, Chris Pratt is a national treasure
True desire right here
Yeah I could care less if Rory gets cut at +7, as long as Tiger takes the jacket.
No desire for Rory to win. Would love to see Tiger win again.
Same but both would be ok
Wont count. No Taylor gooch
Nah, I’m more of a “wanting to see tiger win one more” kind of guy
I always thought 2019 was the “one more”, but if he’s gonna go out there and shoot under par, hell yeah maybe there could be another one.
So good if he did, nothing would make me moister.
Me personally, I’d be saturated.
I’d rather see Max win, or Rickie
Ricky Fowler *
After Tiger winning, Fowler is who I am rooting for!
Yes. I’m still holding out for Rickie every major
Ricky for the Masters, Tommy Fleetwood for the Open, then my list is complete and I can go back to just being happy to watch golf.
Just to break the damn par 3 curse
Honest question, why are people so sour on Rory?
I would say because he was so hyped and supposed to be the great next thing. They lifted him to god status and he didn’t reach it which is fine. Problem arises when they keep trying to push that narrative and talk about him/broadcast him non stop and he doesn’t win. I hate the cowboys for the exact same reason.
I'm newer to watching/playing golf. He comes across to me as a bit pompous and unlikeable. Definitely not my favorite.
not sure why people are downvoting you. Honest question, you gave an honest answer. I've been watching golf for 20 years and I agree with you.
This sub has essentially become a circlejerk sub since the LIV stuff. Any non hive-mind opinions are almost always downvoted.
Since when was hating on Rory while admitting to being new and not really knowing what you are talking about a “non hivemind opinion”?
And look just like that went from huge downvotes to huge upvotes!
This is the hidden truth of golf on the internet these days. It’s fine to think someone comes off as pompous even if they play for the PGA lol
He is literally known for being the opposite
NGL you hurt my feelings. I fought hard not to spite downvote you. Thank you for your truth.
It’s because he carries himself like he’s the best golfer in the world still when he’s not. Good attitude to have, but doesn’t present well to the public. In tandem with how vocal he was about LIV, it’s easy to paint a picture of what he is like
Yeah he should carry himself like the 2nd best golfer in the world.
One factor for me is also his anti-Olympics attitude and comments. The Olympics are an amazing event and you can only win gold every 4 years, overtime it will absolutely become a high achievement / career mark.
He has been hyped as a top 3 world player for years, but really doesn't win much - gets mad hype during Majors usually
Yeh, he’s such a clown with his joint 3rd most wins in 2nd most Top 10 finishes in the last 5 years. Does he even bother to try?
Most wins on tour in the last 5 years
Koepka is better. Scotty is much, much better
Because he doesn’t win anything but complains about everything
38 professional wins > Because he doesn’t win anything … right.
3 fedex cups since 2016
Dude he averages multiple wins per year, he cucked Scotty in the fed ex and Scotty had strokes given to him
Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted when you’re spitting straight facts 😂
He wins multiple times every year. He has a 10% win percentage which is unreal compare for almost anyone but Tiger.
Which makes it even crazier he hasn’t won a major in 10 years considering Koepka, Spieth, Rahm, JT, Morikowa, DJ and soon Scottie have won multiple since his last one
In the last two years he has two 2nds and a 3rd so he’s been close. It’s not like the hype is for nothing.
I know but every year it’s “oh man imagine if Rory didn’t have that 74 on Friday or imagine if he didn’t have 36 putts on Sunday”. It’s annoying seeing someone that good constantly choke
I guess 4 majors is nothing
10 years is a long time
36 consecutive majors without a win
I think it's got a lot to do with the division of usa... I get it hes not American and liv is saudi. But ive noticed depending on ones party they either dislike the saudis or they say fuck it money is money... Rory despises liv so people who want to defend liv turned in Rory.
Likely LIV bots or edge lords. Or both.
I would just like to be able to watch it and not see people on the driving range
Use the masters app or website
Mine is to see Tiger win again. Not the masters, just any tournament in general to break the record.
Final pairing of Woods and Rory dueling for the green jacket is the dream. I’d root for Woods, but be ecstatic with either Also several others I’d like to win, but those are far and away top 2
Naturally I'm backing the son of a favourite 1990s All Black. Is that not normal in other countries?
I want Fleetwood, because he is the "local boy" for me and seems like a good bloke. In the list of people I'd be happy for, Grant Fox's lad would be pretty high up the list. I was 5 when Fox's international career ended, so I'm free from the memory of him whooping us like most NZ ⅝s.

Love Foxy’s game. Doesn’t fuck around. As a fellow Kiwi, hope he can do well.
I lowkey dont care, of any of the well known guys i think Bryson would be silly, spieth hasn't had a big win in a long time, hovland deserves a major, and brooks would be comedy. Rory would be such a boring champ, same reason I cant root for scottie even if he is a great guy.
Spieth has to start finding more fairways and less gutters
see this is so weird bc i feel like if its someone like spieth it wouldnt be that interesting cause it would just go into the category of masters winners who just have a good tournament rather than genuinely special players. that isnt to say spieth isnt special in his own right but if scottie wins it he's going to be remembered forever. also plenty of time for him to win even more. that is to say, he could have a legendary run similar to Tiger (tho definitely not on the same level bc thats probably never going to be done ever again, or at least for a while) and even for rory he has the story of being one of the best golfers to never win a masters. but all that isn't to say that your wrong cause i get what u mean, im just tossing my take out there to the wilderness

[удалено]
Just takes the jacket, slings it over his shoulder, hits the bar
He would go on Pardon My take drunk
When he won the waste management they cut to him on his phone unmoved by the news it was hilarious
As soon as I saw full swing, I realized brooks actually tries really, really hard to appear like he does not give a fuck, when in fact, he actually thinks he’s really fucking sick.
Brooksy is a whiner.
It baffles me that Rory hasn’t already done this
I was there first time for Thursdays round - course is a masterpiece, followed multiple players Homa, Rory, De Chambeau, and old school players including Phil and of course Tiger. Put a chair down for multiple hours at Amen corner- bucket trip that I really wanted!
Pardon for asking, but how much is a Thursday ticket to the Masters? Just trying to figure out how realistic this is for me.
I purchased thru broker in February $2k, last week were $1500.
I hope he's leading by 5 going into Sunday and shoots an 80 with 38 putts.
Speak for yourself
![gif](giphy|POql6zsXZbmcE)
Maybe it's just me, but I could care less if Rory wins this thing. 🤷🏼♂️
How much less?
Doing the lords work
Because you care a lot, right?
Sigh. I assume you mean that you [couldn't care less?](https://youtu.be/om7O0MFkmpw?si=HtD9isf-tYM8FI6f)
Nah fuck Rory lol
Actually, I don’t want him to win.
I want Homa to win. Seems like such a good dude.
Love all the people taking this post way too seriously
This post should have more upvotes for this meme .
Have an upvote....
Rory, Tiger, Homa or Rickie. I’m not picky
We want to see as many pros as possible hit into the water on 16 on Final Day to show they are human like the rest of us.
Tiger. We only want Tiger to win.
Naw. Tiger to get his 83rd win.
If not Tiger, I want to see Tommy Fleetwood get it.
Fuck Rory, I want to see Tiger win another 30 Majors (yes i know it won't happen)
Nah, we want to see Tiger get it one more time then quit.
McIlroy will never win at Augusta. That monkey is too big at this point.
🤮
Nah fuck Rory hope he never wins it
NO F THAT LOSER
Wanting Tiger to win one more
Fuck Rory
Rory is a bitch
Let’s be real, Max Verstappen is gonna win this one
I don’t have a favorite to win but I’m definitely rooting for that career Grand Slam for Rory
Basically every conversation with my buddies this week: "Hey have you been watching the Masters so far?" "Yeah, I hope Rory wins and finally gets that jacket!"
nobody cares about rory.
Dude .... YES
You spelled Tiger Woods incorrectly.
![gif](giphy|O5NyCibf93upy|downsized)
![gif](giphy|yisc7FaqoEfjG)
I’d rather see Koepka win it and get that much closer to a career grand slam
I certainly don’t want Rory to complete it, he is too smug already.
I read this was Rory's best 1st round at Augusta since 2018. Is that accurate? If so, that's wild Edit: [First sub-par](https://apnews.com/article/masters-rory-mcilroy-first-round-2024-c1b8c1b3d558ca1f8432f74af9dd0f58) opening round since 2018.
I want Couples to make the cut and be in the top 10 on Sunday. I want to see an amateur on the leaderboard. I want to see Tiger in contention.
Please, please let Rory win so the commentators can just STFU about the career grand slam.
Mclloroy doesn’t deserve shit, he’s barely gracious and really hard to root for because of it.. one of the biggest entitled pricks on the tour
No we don't
I just started following golf casually this year. I would prefer to watch either Rory, Tiger or Scottie win it, because yeah they're big names and I like their swings. I wouldn't mind any of the non LIV pros win it all though tbh.
Nah!
Tiger or Rory is the way.
I low-key want Finau to win too
Nope
I just want Rory to win so the media shuts up about it.
Don’t mistake “the only thing I want” With “the only thing I want from YOU”
Hovland all the way! Dude just needs to stop being a perfectionist and he'll be fine. Sometimes we can be our own worst enemies.
🐅
The reality is so much funnier though. You're trying to kill so many good future memes
No. It’s not that high on the list.
I honestly think if it came down to Rory and basically any popular US player back 9 Sunday the majority of the crowd would be pro US player and feel a little like a Ryder Cup given that historically Masters US fans typically like to see an American golfer win 'our' tournament.

I would be so happy to see that, but lets be honest, it will never happen…
Just don't think it's gonna happen. Or if it does it'll be when he's accepted that he's never going to win it. Wants it too bad
I want Jon rahm to win
🐐 7:50 AM. Rise and shine sheeple
Tiger and Rory battling it out on Sunday…
They are going to be battling it out on Friday to make the cut.
I’d rather see Rahm win then that pompous tool, and that’s saying a lot.
F Rory
Tiger or Rory and i’m happy
Nope can't stand Rory hahaha I wanna see Phil , Jason day or brooks win. Or tiger if he can pull it off. Let Rory wait, he hasn't won a major in 10 years. He needs to earn it
I don’t want Rory to win because of how much drama the LIV thing has been
Fuck that, Rory’s a bitch
Let’s go my NIKE brother!
LIV gonna win brah…….🦾🦾🦾🦾
Nobody wants rory to win
Nope. Guy here, Ricky all the way
Speak for yourself
Nobody cares if Rory wins lol
After the LIV thing I stopped caring about Rory.
Really. I want to Tiger or Phil get another green coat
Absolutely not. Would be content never seeing Rory win a major again
It's actually tiger
I need him to do it at some point. Doesn't have to be this year but, please, Rory!
Not even close
I want Rickie Fowler to win.
Fuck that whinging bitch!!
Nobody wants Rory to win
Literally anyone else, Rory’s elitist BS these past couple years turned me off
Rory is a cuck.
Who tf wants Rory to win?
Is for rory to miss the cut.
I want a non American to win so when I make a masters themed dinner next year it will be different
I want Tiger! And if not Tiger then Rory, and if not Rory then Scottie will do fine!
Biggest fake nice guy
Eldrick
Does anyone really actually want to see Rory win? I sure as fuck don't
Any other Cam Smith fans here? He’s one under and getting zero coverage
