The chicken salad on wheat is the high-key veteran move at the Augusta media center

Chicken salad on wheat. Chicken salad on wheat is low-key, high-key the go-to. The vets know that. So go chicken salad on the Honey wheat... that's the one you want.

A bomb disposal expert is the ideal person to be a golfer's mental coach

Having a bomb disposal [expert], that's probably the best person in the world to talk to about remaining calm. [Jon] Rahm wanted to fix his temper because he used to have these outbursts on the course.

Jon Rahm credited his mental coach, Joseba Del Carmen, with helping his mental game.

It is always a golfer with an infant who wins the Masters

I would've liked to known the fact that [Jon Rahm] just had a kid. So he's got two kids now... one of which is less than a year old. Another thing I would've liked to known about before I decided who to bet on, because it's always a golfer with an infant that wins at the Masters.

The previous two winners (Scheffler and Rahm) both had infants at the time of their victories.

Tiger Woods' injuries always seem to flare up exactly when he starts playing poorly

I wouldn't say this, but some people online would say this... Tiger's injury did seem to come on like a wave as soon as he started playing bad. I wouldn't say that... but I read that and I was like, Hmm. Something to think about.

This is a cynical interpretation of events that cannot be definitively proven or disproven.

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.
