In this hour-long episode of VSiN's 'Follow the Money,' hosts Mitch Moss and Pauly Howard dive into the chaotic aftermath of the 2026 Masters Tournament, where Rory McIlroy defied expectations to win back-to-back titles despite a disastrous final round performance. The duo dissect the shocking collapse of favorites like Scottie Scheffler, Justin Rose, and Cam Young, highlighting the absurdity of McIlroy’s 12-under lead on Friday being the winning score. They also praise Colin Morikawa’s miraculous recovery from injury to finish in the top 10, calling it a 'fillet knife' moment. The conversation shifts to the NBA playoffs, with deep analysis of the Hornets-Heat play-in game, skepticism about Miami’s road struggles, and concerns over Embiid’s appendicitis. The Spurs’ controversial decision to rest starters and avoid Denver in the playoffs is heavily criticized as a strategic blunder. The NFL Draft segment features Trevor Sykema, who downplays the impact of Ruben Bain’s past accident, projects Sadiq to fall below 15th overall, and predicts a top-10 pick for Oregon safety Dylan Thienemann. The episode closes with a recap of betting wins and losses, including massive overruns on NBA games and unexpected upsets in the NHL and UFC.
Rory McIlroy won the Masters despite a 9-under score on Sunday, making him the first champion to lose strokes to the field over the final 36 holes.
Colin Morikawa’s 11-under performance over three days, while barely able to walk, was one of the most remarkable comebacks in golf history.
The Spurs’ decision to rest all starters against the Thunder was a strategic error that likely cost them a chance to avoid Nikola Jokic in the second round.
Ruben Bain’s past accident is unlikely to derail his top-10 draft stock, as teams have had months to evaluate the situation.
Sadiq is projected to fall below the 15.5 mark due to his lack of receiving production and shorter frame, making him a fringe top-20 pick.
