Rory McIlroy's emotional Masters victory delivered the most dramatic Sunday at Augusta since Tiger's 2019 win, and we're breaking down every moment that led to his historic Grand Slam achievement. From that towering 7-iron on the 15th to Justin Rose's remarkable charge and the playoff tension, this Masters showed why golf's first major remains its most magical theater.

We take you beyond the headlines to examine what made this tournament special - the challenging Sunday pin placements, Bryson's comments about Rory's focused demeanor during their pairing, and Max Homa's impressive performance. Plus, Taylor Gooch's controversial statement about the tournament field gets the critique it deserves as we discuss who truly constitutes golf's elite.

Looking ahead to our own golf adventures, we preview the VGN Laughlin tournament, where 56 players will battle at the underrated Laughlin Ranch, described as "Revere meets Mesquite" or "Conestoga on the river." Matt shares his fascinating equipment fitting journey, which led to an eye-opening discovery about extremely flat lie angles (56°) that transformed his iron play.

Our gear segment highlights the new True Linkswear shoes and G/Fore's MG4+ with G/Lock technology. We also preview an upcoming interview with Goodwood putters and recommend the Tour Read app for anyone struggling with green reading—this technology is changing how players approach putting.

The Masters reminded us why we love this game. Join our conversation each Tuesday night as we discuss everything happening in golf, from major championships to equipment innovations and everything in between!
