Investor and sports business analyst Joe Pompliano dives into the fascinating mystique of The Masters, and why there’s more than meets the eye at Augusta National Golf Club.

Please do a landscape video!! I love watching the Masters’ beautiful flowers when there’s still sometimes snow where I live

Beers are 6 bucks this year, with that being said, you might be able to sell the cup it comes in for 5 bucks. ANGC is my favorite place on the planet. Absolute magic!

I’ve been lucky enough to get tickets from the lotto several times. Got Wednesday tickets this year. There is another way to get in as well, you can get a job working at the tournament. I worked at one of the concession stands for 3 years, of course it helps if you live in Augusta.

Quick correction- RFID tags require a reader to energize the circuitry, so you can’t track an RFID chip from more than a few feet away (unless it has a separate battery powering the antenna). Also, at least as of the last few years, ALL tournament badges have an embedded RFID chip- that’s how you scan into the gates each day (I’ve been four times).

You should do a video on the member who gets to play on weekends of the masters to even out uneven groups. I believe its currently Michael McDermott and was Jeff Knox for years and even scored better than some of the players over the years. Coolest job in sports

Thanks bro ! I always wondered. I can’t play golf to save my life !, I tried once but couldn’t hit the ball 🤬.But I love to watch it.

And another fact, Augusta National is closed all Summer. Closes shortly after the Masters and reopens in the Fall.

I would love an in depth video on landscaping of Agusta 👍

I live in Augusta, Georgia, and I can tell you most of the information being pushed in this video is completely false!

So how do they install those underground systems and still have the course ready for the next Masters? I’d think that level of construction would take more than a year to fully heal. 🤔

It’s WAY more than $200M.. place is probably worth 600-800m

[billtotten]

That is correct! And I believe CBS, and I would imagine, ESPN is still on a year by year handshake contract. I am probably showing my age, but I believe USA had the early round and only afternoon coverage years ago

You’re saying the media rights are $0? No way.

[JonLindley]

Everyone that hosts their podcast or video says “Alright let’s get into it” shouldn’t a few of you be original ? There are other words that announce a beginning .. “Getting started we see” “We’ve gathered these details” .. “Let’s start with the facts”

What a waste of money by Mercedes Benz advertising there electric cars on the Masters broadcast 🤷 no one is going to buy there electric cars 😱

[collinhurley]

How did this get posted with a bat in the cave all video

[bryanjensen]

The BOOGER hanging out in the nostril really garnered my attention.

How in gods name does a green jacket end up in a thrift store. And what idiot doesn’t research it, and then resales it for 5 bucks?

[kylemorgan]

The booger is devastating for the guy. Damn

[TylerHodges]

Your first statement about RFID allowing officials to track your position on the grounds at all times is factually inaccurate. Turned the video off after this. Do better.
