Masters Poll: Rahm/Scheffler/Koepka vs. The Field (Who You Got?)

Matt and Dom review the results of our audience poll (available during our live shows Monday-Wednesday) where we ask the question: At the 2024 Masters, would you take Jon Rahm/Scottie Scheffler/Brooks Koepka or the rest of the field?

all right d so what do you have for your
question of the day I’m sure it’s
something Nelly CER related go ahead
it’s not Nelly C related uh for the
record it is who would you put your
money on at the
Masters I’m giving you two options here
Matt okay Rah Brooks and
Sheffer or the
field Andrew Andrew spent so much time
on this Andrew put up the field put up
the Master’s field graphic ah there she
is that is every every player in the
2024 Masters including a batia which
going to get to just squeezed in at the
last minute there but that is everyone
in the field so I am saying Matt and
we’ll we’ll show some odds later to give
people some more context but if I’m
giving you $20 and I say you can put it
on John ROM Brooks kka or Scotty
sheffler all three of them is a combo or
the entire rest of that field that is on
your screen who you taking okay so
Andrew go ahead and put the odds up
there let’s talk about that as we’re as
we’re answering this question Rah Brooks
or Sheffer so you’ve got the defending
Champion you’ve got the guy that won
just before that and you got the guy
that finished second last year you can
see the odds right
now 12 to1 for for John ROM obviously
Scotty’s at the top Brooks is 16 to
one wow that is actually a very very
tough question if you guys want to weigh
in on the question of the day log on to
the fairways of Life YouTube channel the
fairways of Life YouTube channel and you
could answer right there normally Dom I
never take the player over the
field but you’ve given me three players
in blanketed you’ve given me John Rah
who trip Eisenhower told us last week is
going to be coming in with a chip you’ve
given us Brooks who is a major machine
and he’s been in the mix multiple times
at the Masters before and you got Scotty
Sheffer who’s playing in a Scotty
Sheffer sort of way and seemingly has
the putting at least worked out I’m not
saying that it’s completely fixed if
that’s even possible when when as a
person either is a great putter or they
they aren’t in my mind but you can work
around it uh so all he needs to do is
get to at least average to slightly
above average he’s coming in 99th and
strokes gain putting this week but
remember that’s if you look at those
odds Matt I took some Liberties there I
kind of screwed over Rory and Xander
Schley if you’re looking at those odds
so Rory and Xander whose odds are you
know equal or better than Brooks Kea I
left them in the field
Group amongst the rest of the players
yeah I get that I mean I get and I
purposely picked Brooks because I think
he’s a I mean I I feel like we could do
five shows just on him and his mindset
I’d love to talk to a a pile of sports
psychologist understand I I got what
you’re saying and and I don’t have a
problem with because Rory’s coming in
with a tremendous amount of weight right
Rory has a good Final Round And
everybody’s like uh he finished he
finished uh yesterday you know with with
a 66 and uh he’s and which looked like
looked like it was going to be maybe the
the round of the day until Denny
McCarthy shoots a 63 and all of a sudden
everyone’s like Rory’s going to win the
career Grand Slam but he’s coming in
with a tremendous amount of weight when
you’re talking about that was Xander
Schley Xander his his primary key
performance statistics in 2024 have all
gone the other
direction is HE capable of it of course
he is there’s a lot of players we could
talk about in terms of capability of it
uh so I’m actually going to
take me personally Ron Brooks and
sheffler I’m going to take one of those
three winning the Masters over the field
what about
you
um I’m G to take Ron Brooks and Sheffer
because if you recall last week when we
made our master’s picks I picked Brooks
kepka to win The Masters so I am taking
that right now by the way still sort of
early in the voting it’s only been about
10 minutes since we’ve been on the air
but it’s 5050 right now all right so
which if you think about it Matt that’s
insane 50% of the people 52% now are
already saying you know what we’ll take
one of these three players over the
whole field which includes Roy that’s
not your question they’re not taking one
of those three players over the field
they’re taking all three of those
players over the field that’s what
changes the
question you’re like I’m going to take
Brooks I think you’re going to take
Brooks over the entire field Brooks over
the field yes or no yes but yes I stand
by that but here’s my here’s my thing I
don’t know nothing I’m not a
mathematician okay I cannot stress this
enough I cannot stress that enough but
with that with with that as a baseline
that I am not a mathematician I am not
an animal I I don’t understand the math
but I would imagine the math heavily
heavily favors the field even in this
situation when you’re grouping those
players together you you built up that
huge I’m not a mathematician that to
throw out a celebration of the obvious
like that uh anything else you got from
me Dom you want to go over uh what the
Voting is on whether you take ROM I want
to talk about everything forever but
we’ve got we’ve got several days to do
that it’s at 53% now people are still
going with Ron Brooks and Sheffer we’ll
have a chance tomorrow to go more in
depth on the odds we’ll do a little bit
more uh uh Focus stuff on the weather
I’d like to start to he from about the
golf course yes want to hear from the
people um I think Michael East is
joining us tomorrow from ESPN who’s on
site he’s doing some of the coverage
we’re talking about so there’s a lot
there’s there’s plenty to go through and
I want to talk about all of it forever
so
