In this episode, Bobby and Matt delve into John Rahm's Masters win, golfing at Hilton Head, and the impact of money on golfers. They discuss the difference between 54-hole and 72-hole events, critique WAGs' involvement in the Masters, and explore the controversy around sharing club information. They also analyze performances at the Masters, discuss slow play, and speculate on Tiger Woods's retirement. The episode wraps up with predictions for the RBC Heritage event, movie recommendations, and some light-hearted banter.

Welcome to the Pull Hook Golf Podcast! In this week's episode, we recap the thrilling 2023 Masters tournament, which was won by John Rahm, the number one player in the world. We discuss his impressive performance and how he played like a man possessed. We also reveal some interesting tidbits, such as the fact that Brooks Koepka took seven bathroom breaks in the final round.

Speaking of Koepka, we examine his return to form and his comments about leaving for LIV Golf. We debate whether he should have been penalized for his caddie telling Woodland's caddie what club he hit on 15 and whether it changes our opinion of him. We also analyze the performance of the three LIV Golfers who finished in the Top 5, including Phil Mickelson and Patrick Reed, and discuss how Augusta National became a no-war zone.

Additionally, we review the Penny Bets we made before the tournament and reveal who came out on top between Matt and Bobby. We also ponder whether Monday after the Masters is the most depressing day of the year or the most motivating.

Later, we discuss Will Zalatoris' back surgery and how it may affect his future on the tour. We also provide an analysis of the upcoming RBC Heritage tournament and make our predictions for who will come out on top. Rory McIlroy's withdrawal from the designated event is another topic we cover, along with Bobby's pick of Sungjae Im and Matt's pick of Cameron Young in the Penny Bets.
