Scottie Scheffler,Morikawa,Tiger Woods

SI Golf’s writers and editors debate the increased purses at Augusta National, Bryson DeChambeau’s entertainment value and why golf fans love to watch Tiger Woods.

We’re here to debate a series of statements for writers and editors to declare as “Fact” or “Fiction” along with a brief explanation. Responses may also be “Neutral” since there's a lot of gray area in golf.

Scottie Scheffler showed he was human in playing Nos. 10 and 11 in 3 over Saturday, but recovered to shoot 71 to get to 7 under and take a one-shot lead to Sunday. He will win his second green jacket. That one-shot advantage might not seem like a lot, but that extra edge might just be what he needed. He recovered nicely from his mistakes Saturday and his presence on the leaderboard all week has seemed inevitable. So does a second green jacket.

That Tiger is competing at all given all he’s been through is amazing at this point. He gave his fans a thrill Friday and it wasn’t there Saturday. Perhaps it is now asking too much of him, but if he is to have any chance at competing down the road, he needs to finish tournaments. A solid Sunday would at least be something for him to build on. And Tiger has earned the right to handle this however he chooses.I walked the back nine at Augusta National on Wednesday.
