Trade the Future. The Final Four Starts Saturday.

The Final Four is set: Arizona, Michigan, UConn, and Illinois all punched their tickets. But watching the games is only half the fun — what if you could put real money behind your predictions?

Kalshi is a federally regulated exchange where you buy and sell contracts based on the outcomes of real-world events. March Madness, elections, economic data, weather — if it's happening, there's probably a market for it.

I'm placing a trade on Arizona to cut down the nets. Their balance on both ends of the floor has been unmatched all tournament. But the beauty of Kalshi is you don't have to agree with me — you just have to have a take.

As part of our Masters week countdown, we are looking at all 18 holes of Augusta National. With seven days to go before the first major, today our focus is on the fifth hole, Magnolia.

Inspired by the Road Hole at the Old Course at St. Andrews, Magnolia has averaged 4.26 strokes historically, ranking as the fifth-toughest at Augusta National. The easiest Magnolia has ever played is 4.061 strokes at the 2001 Masters. The worst score made here was a quadruple bogey, and the lowest was an eagle on the par-4.
