Five things we changed our minds about at the 2026 Masters – Episode #22

Fresh off the Masters Tournament, Kyle Porter is joined by Joseph LaMagna to break down five things this year’s tournament completely changed their minds about.

From being on the ground at Augusta National Golf Club to rewatching the broadcast, this episode is less about results—and more about what the Masters reveals about players, courses, and the future of the game. 

They get into:

• Why Rory McIlroy and Scottie Scheffler are in a tier of their own
• How Augusta exposes weaknesses no other course can
• Why short game might matter more here than anywhere else
• The surprising accessibility of the Masters in person
• What’s real (and overrated) about the Augusta experience
• Who’s actually next in line behind golf’s top tier

Plus: Cam Young stock 📈, Xander vs Rahm debates, and why elevation might be the most underrated part of great course design.
