Ben Hogan, Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, and Sam Sneed, play a scramble. What's the final score?
Let's pretend we have a golf cart that travels through time, and we scoop up four of the game's biggest legends: Ben Hogan, Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus and Sam Sneed. All are in their prime when we take them (Tiger from 2000/2001, Ben Hogan from 1953, Jack from the mid 60's). They are put together to make the dream foursome and play a scramble (the best shot from each of the four is used, one score is produced at the end for the round) at Augusta National, a course they all know very well. What's the final score of the round? I think the lowest ever on the PGA tour by an individual is 59. I'm thinking they could break 50. What's your guess?|||Augusta has 4 reachable par 5's making par 68. There should be no doubt that the foursome would birdie every hole making 50 the target score. A couple of hole outs from the fairway would have this group card 48 without stretching the imagination too much. Wouldn't it be great to see this group altogether at one time. Only in heaven I guess.|||I say yes, they could shoot a 50. When Paul Goydos shot a 59 earlier this year, he didn't do it without making any mistakes. So if four of the best players of all time had four chances to make a perfect shot on each tee, fairway, and green, I believe it could be done.|||No way they could break 50 breaking, 50 would require literally an eagle on every par 5 plus birdies on every other hole. Besides some of the Augusta par 5's are not reachable in 2 no matter what. I think they would at least score in the low 50's. 51, 52, maybe 50|||i dont think they go that low. i think jack beats tiger barely. jack and tiger shoot 62. snead and hogan 63, 64. jacks chips in an eagle on 16 after tiger sinks a 40 ft birdie putt.|||This question is impossible to answer because of so many variables.|||52 you can't plan on hole in ones, can't expect eagles on all the par 5's|||Not a chance in a million. The equipment has advanced so much since the 50's.
