OK - who do folk think is going to win or do well? I quite fancy Matthew Fitzpatrick for this one, might wager my usual £2 each way on him.

What’s the latest with Tiger Woods?

I don’t remember hearing the outcome of his accident.

I seem to recall someone saying no golf again.

Given his leg is pinned in about 2,000 places I think it’s unlikely he’ll be teeing off this week.

So you’re saying there’s good odds at the bookies.

Given how well my previous picks have gone I may as well drop £20 on him now.

He's back home, & the Cops know the cause of the accident; following the analysis of the blackbox in the car; but they can't say anything unless Tiger approves it; so we'll probably never know (legally).

With a fucked back; & now a fucked leg; it's hard to imagine him ever getting beyond the level of a recreational golfer.

I'm looking forward to this, looks like it's pretty open this year, no overwhelming favourites. Really hope DeChambeau crashes and burns, there's something about him I really can't take to. Be ideal if this secret club he's talking about turns out to be illegal an he's Dq'd.

Lefties do well around there but last person to win an dayboo was Mize a long time ago. Top 25 would be a great result. Fingers crossed for him.

He’ll be wearing a face mask with glee as it means he’ll be able to clear out the lockers of valuables without being recognised.

Sandy Lyle playing in his 40th Masters tournament. He's the 12th player to do so. Quite an achievement for a player who never really seems to get the recognition in the media for his achievements.

Yes, I don’t really expect he’s going to start winning majors now. He’s in decent form though.

We’ve reached the Butch Harmon wanking on about how Augusta is such a special place and a unique golf course that tests like no other and mentally destroys anyone who even dares glance towards it stage.

My grandad was involved in Clober GC in Milngavie (he supplied them booze, didn’t play) and I once brought a mate up to play there one year when we were about 13. Just about to tee off on the 1st and Sandy Lyle came past in a buggy and started chatting. He ended up coming round with us until the 6th giving tips and having a laugh. Amazing time

He never should have split with JP. It wasn't his caddy that was the problem.

DeShambles spraying it around. Harmon having a great time calling him Mr 67 Par after his claims on the course last year.

I'd love to know how many drug tests the PGA tour do per year, & how anyone thinks his transformation was all natural.

Jesus that's cruel.

You could actually see the ball slow; and then start to accelerate again, & you knew there wasn't enough of a collar to hold it.

There's a few in with a shout.

The big day is always, moving day. The Europeans have an unfortunate habit of screwing the pooch on the weekend; after flattering to deceive the previous days

Do they actually do drug tests? Dustbin Johnson took a year off for coke issues and Tiger would have tested for most recreational drugs in recent years but I can’t think of any obvious marginal gains style tactics going on.

They've never published the numbers of tests; so we don't know. After the VJ, 'deer antler spray', fuck up; the PGA have been gun shy.

I think DJ has actually had two silent bans for Mexican marching powder; but who really knows ?

Beta-Blockers, pain meds, & now steroids are the obvious PEDs to look for; but the only players actually getting tested, are the ones on the Olympics squads

Form temporary, class permanent. Main problem has been back spasms I think. He’s had to withdraw from tournaments and it’ll have affected his performance in others. If he’s found a way to manage them, no reason why he can’t compete.
