Image via WikipediaFirst off, a huge thanks to Mark Gage our PGA Golf blogger who put together the rules for our first ever Masters Golf Contest.
SprortsTalkBuzz Masters Pool is here!
After today’s Shell Houston Open the field is officially finalized at 94 players with Johnson Wagner’s first PGA win claiming him the final spot in golf’s most prestigious major, so now it’s time to make your picks and win a Nike SQ SUMO Driver. Yes the winner of this pool receives a brand new top end Nike Driver. The Runner-up in the contest gets a Samsung DVD Player. Please post your picks by following the contest rules and hitting reply in this blog to post your picks.
This is as simple as it gets … just pick who you think will be the top 20 Money Earners in this years Masters. Sounds easy, but every year there are surprises both good and bad at Augusta. Everyone will pick Tiger and Phil of course, but after that there’s a ton of guys who could make or break your picks.

No particular order on the top 20?
Posted: 04/07/08 at 2:46 pm
Nope … just pick your top 20!
EVERYONE … My bad for not stipulating not to pick an Amateur as the third tie breaker … you guys are too smart! It’s a tiebreaker so you have to pick a world ranked player in case we need to use it!
Please amend your picks … SORRY!
