My Who's Back of the week is Rory McIlroy. He's smashing. He won the AT&T Pro-Am at Pebble Beach. This might be his year... he might turn it around. [Golf doesn't start until the Masters] This might be his year to win it.

Rory McIlroy did win the 2025 Masters, defeating Justin Rose in a sudden-death playoff. He completed the career Grand Slam and won his first green jacket, confirming this was indeed 'his year.'

The winners of the John Deere Classic always stay in the same rental home in Illinois

For the last three years, each winner of the John Deere Classic has stayed in the same rental home in Illinois. Whoa. It's officially the trophy house. Davis Thompson, SEP Straka, JT Poston.

This was a widely reported coincidence in 2024 following Davis Thompson's win.

The LIV Golf relegation system is just the PGA Tour and Q-School with a different name

LIV golf is tweaking their rule format that they have. They are now instituting relegation and promotion in LIV golf league... which is great... LIV Golf just invented the PGA Tour. So you're not like guaranteed a spot on LIV golf. They invented qualification school.

The mechanisms of promotion and relegation do mirror traditional tour structures and Q-School in principle.

The 'pervert' chant at Max Homa is officially canceled and banned

We have to stop saying to Max Homa on the golf course that he's a pervert because it's getting a little weird... permission to shame that person, take a picture and send it to us... no more pervert. That is officially canceled.

The hosts successfully suppressed the meme, and calling Homa a 'pervert' largely faded from the gallery following this episode.

Brooks Koepka is the hottest golfer in the world heading into the Masters

My, who's back of the week is Brook's Koepka. Yes. Brooks. Shout out Brooks. He won. He's hot. He's the hottest golfer in the world going into masters week. He's back. He won on the live tour. He battled off Patrick Reed to finish first place in Orlando.

Koepka finished T2 at the 2023 Masters, leading for much of the weekend before Jon Rahm won. He then won the PGA Championship in May 2023, validating that he was indeed 'back'.

Max Homa must be on the Ryder Cup team

If max isn't on the Ryder Cup team... we riot. It's a travesty of justice... He went four and oh in his matches, he had an electric walk in putt on the 18th green on Friday to win his match and the USA dominated and won the Presidents Cup.

Max Homa was indeed selected for the 2023 U.S. Ryder Cup team.

The USA is back because they 'skull fucked' Europe in the Ryder Cup

The USA did win 19-9, which was a record-breaking margin in the modern era.

Sergio Garcia will choke in the big moments of The Masters

Sergio, I think this ship has sailed for him. He chokes every time he's in a big moment. It's Tiger. You know, it's a mental thing at this point. The second he hears Tiger sneaking up on him... he's going to melt down.

Sergio Garcia famously shot a 13 on the 15th hole in the first round of the 2018 Masters and missed the cut.

Tiger Woods will win at least one more Masters

We're now getting the Tiger Woods is going to win at least one more Masters takes. So I think that that means Tiger is like all the way back. When people are actually debating how many more Masters or, you know, championships you're going to win, I think that's exactly where Tiger is back.

Tiger Woods won the Masters in 2019, making this a highly accurate prediction made during his comeback arc.

Since 2014, Tiger Woods has had more back surgeries than top ten finishes

A little sabermetrics for you on Tiger Woods. I saw this stat running around. Since 2014, he's had more back surgeries, three, than top ten finishes, one.

As of Feb 2017, Tiger had undergone back surgeries in March 2014, Sept 2015, and Oct 2015 (3). His only top-10 in that span was a T10 at the 2015 Wyndham Championship.
