RBC Heritage Preview: Harbour Town’s Precision Test Is the Perfect Follow-Up to the Masters

There is something fitting about the PGA Tour leaving Augusta National and heading straight to Harbour Town Golf Links. The Masters is grand, sweeping and emotional. The RBC Heritage is a little different. It is intimate, exacting and wonderfully stubborn. It does not care much about hype, and it ...

Justin Thomas Takes Money Off Jordan Spieth, Max Homa With Electric Masters Par 3 Contest Ace

There is no winner's purse involved in the annual Masters Par 3 contest, but that doesn't mean money doesn't regularly change hands between players, which is exactly what happened in Justin Thomas' group on Wednesday afternoon at Augusta National.Thomas made the 116th hole-in-one in the event's history with a perfect shot on the second hole of the Par 3 course. After his golf ball disappeared into the bottom of the cup, the two-time major winner immediately turned to his playing partners and good friends, Jordan Spieth and Max Homa, and not so subtly let them know they owed him some cash.Anyone who makes an ace during the Masters Par 3 contest receives a crystal vase from Augusta National, but it's safe to assume JT was more concerned with taking coin off of Spieth and Homa. The obvious question here is just how much cash were JT, Homa, and Spieth playing for in their hole-in-one game. Normal golfers out there who aren't worth millions and millions of dollars typically have a built-in hole-in-one pool in whatever gambling game they're playing on the course worth $100.Shortly after making his ace, Thomas revealed on the ESPN broadcast that his group's hole-in-one game involved another zero, with Spieth and Homa on the hook for $1,000 each.Homa has made over $29 million in his career and Spieth has taken home over $67 million, so forking over $1,000 doesn't exactly make a dent, but it's safe to say neither of them will enjoy paying out JT.This isn't the first time Spieth has witnessed a JT ace during the Masters Par 3 contest. He just so happened to be playing alongside Rickie Fowler and Thomas in 2016 when the pair made back-to-back holes-in-one on the fourth hole. It seems like the Masters Par 3 contest has become an expensive event for Spieth over the years.

Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo Delivers Absurd Tiger Woods DUI Take, Points Finger Elsewhere

Tiger Woods shouldn't shoulder all the blame for turning over his SUV in a residential area and being arrested on a second DUI charge since 2017. The "golf people" in his life should take some accountability as well, according to Chris ‘Mad Dog’ Russo.Russo unleashed his out-of-touch opinion during Wednesday's edition of ESPN's ‘First Take,’ and went as far as to mention PGA Tour star and close friend of Woods, Justin Thomas, by name."I’m going to blame the golf people here too," Russo explained. "Justin Thomas is his best friend. A lot of these golfers, you know, 'I adore Tiger.'""How about somebody in the last 15 years say, ‘Tiger, enough of this nonsense.’ OK, instead of genuflecting in front of Tiger, because he’s an all-time great golfer, and you don’t want to get on Tiger’s bad side, how about somebody in the sport in the last 10 years put a stop to this, take the keys away?"Anyone with a functioning brain agrees that Woods opting to drive himself around all these years and not hire a personal driver is borderline insane. Having said that, if you don't think he's been told by countless people inside his tight-knit circle that he should stop driving, you're not living in reality.We're talking about a man who was charged with a DUI in 2017, who told arresting officers he believed he had been golfing in California that day, despite being in Jupiter, Florida. It's fair to assume folks in his life told him it was time to hang up the keys.Then came the single-car crash in 2021, where Woods was lucky not to lose one of his legs, let alone survive the crash. At that point, his family and friends had to be begging him to stop putting himself behind the wheel.READ: Tiger Woods Arrest Affidavit Reveals Pills, Trouble With Sobriety TestsThis leads to another aspect in all of this that leads you to believe that Woods truly does live this recluse-like life. It's no secret his personal circle is an incredibly tight one, but any assumption that he's surrounding himself with people 24/7 feels out of touch. It's incredibly hard to believe that Justin Thomas or anyone else we deem a close friend to Woods is spending an exorbitant amount of time with him off the golf course, talking about everyday life and whether he should drive his vehicle.Russo is by no means the only one who shares the opinion that the people in Woods' life should feel guilt, but he is the only one who shouted about it in the manner he did on national television.
