Yeah, and then about 2:00 on Saturday, and the last tee time on Sunday… 😉

Tiger gets "early" (but not too early)/"late" (but not too late).

Best he could have gotten, probably.

With the amount he has to prep to be able to play, this seems pretty ideal,

Heh, heh, heh.

Hovland and Tiger in the last group on Sunday would be a dream scenario for me. OWGR #4 vs #973.

[Big C]

Not to be a buzzkill, but I'm placing a big (for me, anyway) wager on Tiger to miss the cut at -115. 

We all want to see him do well, but objectively it's hard to imagine him coming back anywhere near top form. The telltale sign to me was that he could only walk 9 holes on Monday. I think those hills are going to sap his energy and by Friday he will be limping (figuratively and literally) to the finish line. 

I would be glad to be proven wrong, but if not, I plan to profit, as I think the betting public has so much sentimentality for Tiger that it is skewing the odds beyond reason and logic.

I don’t expect anything from Tiger. He can WD after five holes, two rounds, miss the cut or be in contention on Sunday. I’m just happy to see that he feels ready to play.

I really hope they respect that this is the Masters and they don’t get bogged down like the last tournament with commenting every single time Tiger winces or walks a little gingerly. STFU and just comment on the playing.

I tend to just watch the Master's on their website. I like the feature groups or keeping it on Amen Corner.

There will be a half hour segment on his shoes.

So…

• He’s never missed the cut as a pro.
• He knows the place better then maybe anyone.
• He only has to play better than like 30 people, half of whom are over 50.
• He won here in 2019 and four times before that.
• He is Tiger F-ing Woods.

I’d give you bigger odds than that and smile as I take your money.

Eh. Points 2 and 3 are valid considerations, but his past performance at the Masters means little to me considering his age and the severity of his injury. 

If you want to do an even money bet, I'm game. I'll gladly come back here and eat crow if I'm wrong.

I'm taking Jordan Spieth to win and will speculate -13.  Don't ask me why I think it, it is basically a WAG.  I would love to see Tiger in contention but I'm thinking the grind of walking 72 holes is going to wear on him.  I know, he is tough and won while injured before but I just do not think that is in the cards for this weekend.

An interesting bet will be how much the ratings will improve over last year.

What does this mean? You bet how much to win how much? Obvs I'm not a gambler

For every $115 wagered, you stand to win $100 additional. Slightly worse than an even money bet.

Nothing personal, but bad luck.

My guess is that he's played 72 holes over 4 days at his home club to get ready for this.  More than once.  Though his course in Florida is a lot flatter.
