2026 Masters Pool Picks, Tiers, Play in Contest | LIV Players in the Masters Catchup

Instead of the usual “pick one from each tier,” the PME 2026 Masters Pool uses a salary cap + tiered pricing system, forcing you to make REAL decisions — and avoid the obvious builds everyone else lands on. Pat Mayo and Geoff Fienberg build the tiers on the show and make their picks for the 2026 Masters Pool contest. Then, LIV Tour writer Matt Vincenzi joins to catch up on what has been happening on the LIV Tour in 2026 and which LIV players in the field for the 2026 Masters are worth picking.
