As good as he's been playing, Clark at +4000 might be worth a sprinkle.

Angel Cabrera is playing? I thought he was in the pokey down in Argentina.

Looking at each hole in order of historical difficulty.

18th ranked all time is #13, Azalea. They moved the tee back last year so it's tougher than it was.

All-time average score is 4.775. Easiest year was 2019 (4.474) and toughest year was 1976 (5.042).




Maybe the most famous moment was Phil from the pine straw in 2010. I know it was a big moment but he missed the putt.




Didn't see any great videos of it (aside from the full broadcast) but Sergio's par on 13 was where the 2017 tournament turned in his favor.


Also our buddy Jeff Maggert has the only double eagle on 13 in Masters history (1994 final round, 3-iron, 222 yards).

The visa that the U.S. denied last week?

I hadn't seen an update but I am not surprised they denied it under the circumstances.

So how much do I win if I bet $1000 on him not to win?

I win 80 if I bet 1 on him not to win? Where do I book that? I thought I'd a few bucks tops.

Sorry, misread your original email. Clearly they are setting the line there because they will get a lot of bets anyway because they think he is still Tiger Woods of pre divorce.

Sam way Bennett and Champ did. We have no idea since they aren't playing unless they win one of the two tournaments.

Yep. As others said this list is dumb. I just copied and pasted it from VegasInsider but there are quite a few on there who aren't in the field.

I have no issue with you posting the list. I just wonder where Vegas Insider obtained the list from given the errors mentioned. The odds for those playing are consistent with some minor variations with my sports book odds.

#17 ranked hole all time is #2. Pink Dogwood.

We probably all remember Louis Oosthuizen's double eagle on this one.



This hole is SO downhill. Just a fantastic hole.

Historical average: 4.775
Easiest year: 4.467 (2020)
Toughest year: 4.996 (1957)

#16 ranked hole is the 15th. Firethorn.

This one usually has a lot to say with who wins the championship. Lots of memorable moments.

Seve was in control in 1986 until he put one in the drink here.

15 stuck a fork in Molinari in 2019.

Sergio and Jack made memorable eagles here on the way to victory. The year after Sergio's win he got a memorable 13 on this hole.



In 2011, Tiger STUFFED it to a five feet but missed the eagle putt that would've put him in the solo lead.

It was also the site of Tiger's unlucky break to hit the flagstick and subsequent illegal drop that could've changed the tournament.

But most famously it was the site of Gene Sarazen's "shot heard round the world" in 1935. Sarazen got a double eagle on 15, made par on the final three holes, and forced a 36-hole Monday playoff with Craig Wood. Sarazen won by 5 strokes and became the first person to complete the modern Grand Slam.

#15 ranked hole is the eighth: Yellow Jasmine.

This is the toughest of the par 5s, It runs back up the hill that #2 goes down. Second shot is totally blind.





Don't know this for sure, but I don't believe any champion has eagled #8 during their final round.

Bruce Devlin has the only double eagle in Masters history on this hole. First round in 1967.

Nobody thought Jack could do it in '86.

Nobody thought Jack could do it in '86.

Nicklaus finished 6th in the 1985 Masters. He just missed winning the Canadian Open in 1985. He won The Memorial in 1984. He was in the twilight of his career, but he was still competitive. And most importantly, Nicklaus didn't have numerous leg surgeries.

Woods has done nothing in years. He hasn't finished in the top 10 in any event in 5 years. Woods making the cut this week would be very impressive.

But my point is that Nicklaus was still competitive. See his 1984 wins and his 1985 T6 Masters finish. When was Woods last competitive? Woods has only played one full competitive round of golf this year. One round.

Woods is +10,000 or more to win for a reason.

I'm a Tiger fanboy and no chance in hell will he contend for the Masters or any tournament for that matter.

Too old and his body is all battered and bruised.

I hate to say it but he's nothing more than a ceremonial pro golfer right now.

I hope I'm wrong, though.

Great news for all of us who want coverage of every shot of a guy near the cut line.
