The greatest week of the golf calendar has officially come to an end and Scottie Scheffler has once again claimed golf’s coveted Green Jacket. Masters week is always so special to golf fans around the world and this one was no different. A four-stroke margin of victory may tell a different story, but this was one of the more exciting Masters in recent tournament history. Here are some of my thoughts following the 2024 Masters!
JT & JORDAN

The best friends need to do some figuring out. Justin Thomas stood on the 15th tee on Friday 6 strokes above the cut line. He would finish double-double-bogey-double to miss the weekend. This is a continuing trend of Thomas being really bad in majors since his victory at the PGA Championship in 2022. In the seven majors since then he’s missed four cuts and his best finish of the cuts made was a T37 at the 2022 U.S. Open. Is it mental? Is it mechanical? Whatever it is, JT needs to figure it out.
As far as Jordan Spieth goes…I just don’t know. Spieth has always been so interesting because of his ability to have a very decorated scorecard. There’s always a lot of birdies on the card, but also a lot of bogeys. But much like Thomas, his major record recently hasn’t been what it once was. Yes, he has finished in the top-5 in two of the last four Masters, but he hasn’t exactly been in contention. In 2021 he started the final round 6 strokes back of eventual champion Hideki Matsuyama, and in 2023 he started 9 strokes back of 54-hole leader Brooks Koepka. He hasn’t truly been in contention in a major since the 2021 Open Championship, which feels odd for someone who once had 6 top-5 finishes in a 9 major stretch from 2014-2016.
