Francesco Molinari's Sunday collapse will be forgotten because Tiger Woods won

[Molinari] is the one guy that's going to walk away from this the most gutted because if he doesn't make a couple mistakes, then maybe it's him. [Big Cat: I think he's the luckiest guy... no one will remember it because it's Tiger]. SVP: I hadn't even considered that... that actually makes a ton of sense.

Molinari's collapse at 12 and 15 is indeed secondary to the legend of Tiger's 15th major in most retellings.

I was wrong about Tiger Woods never winning another major

Hand up, I never thought I'd see Tiger back in this spot. I was definitely in the camp of he'll be in it maybe a couple times, maybe flirt with one... but he'll never win another major. I was very wrong.

Tiger won the 2019 Masters, proving the prediction that he'd never win another major incorrect.

The 2019 Masters was a bad weekend for the Augusta National course

I don't think I root for the course anymore. The course got embarrassed. This was a bad weekend for the course. Yeah, low scores.

The winning score was -13, which is low but not the tournament record (-18).

The Orlando Magic will beat the Toronto Raptors in their playoff series

As the number one Orlando Magic podcast on the internet, we've decided that just from our four seconds of talking about the Magic on Friday, I would say that we got the Magic their win... It's not a good look for Toronto at all. They'll win this series, but it's good to have the Magic get that one.

The Raptors actually came back to win the series 4-1 after losing the first game.

Rory would NOT have held on at Augusta this year if he hadn't won last year

No, I don't think he would've. I think there's a freedom of — and he said it Saturday — like, 'I gotta remind myself that I'm still tied for the lead and I have a green jacket.' And I think if he had to, knowing it's Scotty and it's a one shot lead and he's never won here and he's trying to finish a career grand slam — no. And that's not a knock on him, that's just an acknowledgement of how heavy the weight would've been if he didn't win last year.

This is inherently a counterfactual opinion about Rory's psychology — can't be definitively verified.

Scottie Scheffler will end up with more career majors than Rory McIlroy

Scotty just has more runway. If he's six years younger, so that's 24 more majors. I'll take Scottie. I'm just trying to be hot take Scottie. Late night hot take Scottie.

Both players are active and in their prime in 2026.

Rory McIlroy's Masters win was primarily 100% relief

It was almost all relief. And the thing that Andy North described to me... you feel so much more relief than joy... it was so obvious that sure there's joy in there... but clearly it was like, just thank God I did it.

Rory himself later admitted it was a burden, supporting this view.
