THE PAR 3 tournament, the champions dinner, blooming azaleas and The42′s annual tipping competition.
The Masters is all about tradition.
Every year we challenge you to take on our challenge and show how much you know about golf.
Here’s your chance to once again prove yourself and win a goody bag packed full of The42 stuff? But mainly it’s about gloating in WhatsApp groups.
All you need to do is pick a winning team of three players for this week’s Augusta action.
To enter, post your team in the comments section before the deadline of 1pm sharp on Thursday 5 April. Entry is free but limited to one per reader.
Here’s how it works:
- Pick three players from the list below. The sum total of your three players’ odds must be at least 125/1.
- For example: Jason Day 22/1 plus Sergio Garcia 44/1 plus Kevin Kisner 66/1 comes in at 132/1. Comment below with your picks.
- The person whose team has the lowest combined score at the end of the tournament is the winner.
- Importantly… if any of your three players do not make the 36-hole cut, you are eliminated from the competition. All three players must finish the tournament for your team score to be valid.
- If your player does not make the first tee, you will be given an alternative player at those odds (or the next highest) in alphabetical order. Once that player tees off, he is part of your team for the duration of the tournament.
- In the event of a tie, the winner will be drawn at random.
