Can't believe I watched that whole video.  Probably better coverage of the first few holes than I saw last year

From a friend of Tiger: “More than the physical and swing-wise, he’s just not working on anything . He’s not worried about his swing, he’s worried about the score. He’s

Heh. They realize that they wrote these rules, right? It's not like Bobby Jones dug up a piece of papyrus under the 12th green during construction telling him, "thou shalt not feature the same player

Great first day at the Masters.  I am happy for Sergio and I'm glad Tiger is in the mix.  It was nice to see Dustin Johnson finally get on a Master's leaderboard. By far, the top story for me a

Remember Zach's win here! didn't go for one single par 5 in 2! so that struggle for distance on par 5's not an issue, the par 4's on the other hand, might give some trouble. But on the other hand he should be used to playing 440 yard par 4's.

I don't know... I know the 14 year old is mature beyond his years and is a "phenom" to the game of golf to even be considered in the same sentence as the Masters, but I just can't help but fall back on statistics. Statistically, I don't think he'll be playing on the weekend. Yes, Tiger won at 19 but there is a major difference in a 14 year old and a 19 year old - both physically and mentally.

I really, really hope he does well but I wouldn't put money on him making it to Saturday.

Glad I'm not the only one who was surprised by that.

What did Tiger win at 19?

Woods won the Masters in '97 at age 21. He turned professional at 19/20. Slight mix-up.

He also put on one of the best putting shows ever. The 14yo evidently has a great short game, we will see. I sure as hell am rooting for him.

How about the Louis O, Ernie and Adam Scott practice round grouping? I could watch those guys hit it all day long.

Great swings both of them.  Louis O is the most relaxed player I have seen in a long time.  He always seems so calm.

Currently watching the practice range broadcast online...

Wow what a beautiful day!  The grass is immaculate.

Wish I was out on the course...  We got snow yesterday and it is cold today.  I am not sure if the courses will be open this weekend herein Denver area.

I'm watching as well. They just now finished obsessing over Adam Scott and now they've moved on to Hunter Mahan.

The course is pristine, as usual, and the flowers are still in bloom this year as well. Last year they were packing ice on them over night to keep the blooms closed and fresh for the tournament as best as they could.

It was 80° here outside of Cleveland, OH yesterday... 75 today and now we're going back down to 45 on Friday, 48 Saturday and 55 Sunday. It never fails... 80 and sunny during the work week... 50, windy, cold and cloudy on the weekends to ruin golf - 3rd weekend in a row (though Sunday's 55 should be alright as long as the winds stay down and we get clear skies - that would feel more like 65).

They just showed Phil walking on to the practice area.

I can't believe the size of the gallery just watching them practice!  Holy cr@p!  There is an entire stand dedicated to the practice area!  Never realized that before.

I was just watching Billy Payne's press conference. I did not realize they expanded the cut to 50 players from 44.

No Live Tiger Coverage until Friday? (From Business Insider)

There's no way to watch Tiger Woods play live at the Masters tomorrow.

He tees off at 10:45 a.m., but live TV coverage on ESPN doesn't start until 3 p.m.

He won't be shown online either. Masters.com plans to stream a ton of live golf, but for some reason Tiger's group isn't one of the "featured groups" that will be shown live in its entirety online tomorrow.

Masters.com is streaming holes No. 11 through 15 online, so you'll be able to watch him play those holes live (and he's in a featured group Friday), but that's it.

That's insane.

Only four golf tournaments a year are truly must-watch events. For most fans, these 16 total rounds are the only rounds that matter.

Tiger Woods is the most important golfer in the world, I should be able to watch him play those 16 rounds.

This isn't just some dumb oversight either. The Masters chose not to live-stream Tiger's group last year too . This is a calculated decision to de-emphasize him.

The Masters, more than anything else, is a celebration of old traditions. That's why food is ridiculously cheap , caddies wear silly jumpsuits, and TV announcers are required to use a goofy, outmoded vocabulary (fans are "patrons").

Augusta National is a golf Renaissance Fair with a modern sporting event taking place inside of it.

And that leads to inherent conflicts.

The people who run the Masters want the star of the tournament to be the tournament itself, but the nature of sports in 2013 (where interest is driven by characters and narratives) means there are players and stories that are bigger than the tournament.

And that's why we can't watch Tiger Woods tomorrow.

Augusta's official explanation for why they can't show him is that a player can only be in a featured group one day. But they could have worked around that rule by featuring his group on Thursday (which will be over before TV coverage starts) rather than Friday (most of which will be shown on live TV).

I love the Masters. But when the traditionalist mission of the tournament means that we can't watch the best player in the world, it has gone too far.

Looks like Phil and Jim Furyk are tied for the lead in the clubhouse at the Par 3 contest at -4.  Don't know if those scores will hold up, but I like that they didn't play the whole stupid superstition game. :)  Good for them.

      2026 Masters

      Yes.  Did he not hit the range before the round? When my first few pre-round drives aren't what I expect, the first thing I check is my driver settings, in case they changed.  I am on my second adjustable driver and I am still not trusting that golf gremlins don't change it between rounds. The second thing I check is my alignment and setup, and that is far more often the culprit than my settings. In any case, there are some simple things that I imagine should be on a professional player's pre-round checklist that I am surprised when they aren't.  One of those is the settings for any adjustable clubs.

      It was also set at B1 at a previous event, and… so there's dubiousness around whether he's telling the truth (again).
