Who has the BEST chance to win the Masters?

In this episode of PTI, Mike Wilbon and Tony Kornheiser dive into the 2026 Masters Tournament, highlighting the absence of Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson for the first time since 1994 as the central storyline. With no dominant favorite, the hosts debate contenders like Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Patrick Reed, and Jon Rahm, noting Scheffler’s potential to join the elite group with three Masters wins but expressing concern over his recent form and lack of play. The conversation shifts to sports controversies, including Gino Auriemma’s delayed but thorough apology to Dawn Staley following a public outburst, with Wilbon remaining skeptical of forgiveness until genuine accountability is shown. They also dissect the Braves-Angels brawl, criticizing MLB’s disproportionate suspensions—seven games for Soler, one for Lopez—and applauding Soler’s justified reaction after being hit twice. Later, Brian Windhorst joins to discuss the Bucs’ struggles despite Giannis Antetokounmpo’s presence, the NBA’s 65-game eligibility rule, Luka Doncic’s injury, and the Kings’ questionable foul strategy, which Windhorst attributes to a coaching error rather than tanking. The episode closes with birthday wishes for Cedarian Lamb, tributes to Davey Lopes, and updates on the Pistons, Pirates, and Golden Knights.
