I'm not at all surprised.

A)  He just had surgery, the exact nature of which (recovery time) none of us know anything about.  He's surely not bed-ridden, but perhaps travel is a no-no?  We just don't know.

and

B)  He's Tiger Woods.  He pretty much does whatever he wants, no?

The latter more than the former, I suspect.

It's not the weather, though, as you may expect ... But rather, Phil Mickelson is just starting his practice round. ;)

I'd like to make a suggestion to the Augusta people: Quickly write into your tournament by-laws a contingency tradition; if the son of a former winner wins the tournament, his dad gets to prese

Huh? It's a dinner for the past champs!!  That's the whole point of the evening.  And I definitely said in my original post that maybe it's because of the surgery.  I don't know enough about the recovery to know if it's something he could have done.

Yeah, I'm aware it's a dinner for past champs. I'm also aware you mentioned the surgery, that's why I didn't quote you. I just don't know how much it takes (back surgery, family situations, apathy) for an invitee to decide not to go. As @Golfingdad said.

O'Meara.  back right corner

Thanks.  And I almost thought that the guy in between and in front of Mike Weir and Bernhard Langer could be Mize, but that guy looks wayyy too old, right?

I think you're right.  That does look like Mize, but it's not a very clear picture.

Yeah he's like 6'4 or something.

Nicklaus hit a ridiculous shot on the first par 3. Real close.

It looked like 3 feet from the pin! I didn't get to see Arnold's swing...but it looks like the ball came up like 15 feet short of the green?

They haven't posted the Billy Payne interview yet today on masters.org.  Anyone find a link to it somewhere else?  I know it already happened, but I missed it.

Is it a violation for Billy Payne to sign the Past Winners' menu?

Arnie came up way short, and Player was pin high just off the green on the right fringe.

He is?  That wouldn't make a lot of sense.  Huh.

Just saw him shoot. That's weird.  Maybe they invite the CBS crew that are past tour players to participate if they want to.  I think I'd feel weird playing with everyone else that's actually won the tournament.

Wow. I'm surprised he didn't go.  I guess I'm not surprised, but I bet if it were Mickelson, he would have made the trip to honor Scott.  I know that comment is going to be a lightning rod, but I don't care. Unless of course his surgery recovery would have prevented him from going, but all of you guys in the injury thread that have had the same surgery made it sound like you were doing backwards hand flips 4 days afterward, so I don't know.

I'm pretty sure that after back surgery you're on strict bedrest, so its not that surprising that he isn't at the champions dinner.

If Mickelson would've had the same injury, I can guarantee you he wouldn't have come. Nobody would after back surgery.

      The Ryder Cup Ticket Prices

      By Beastie ·

      It’s not live on free to air tv in the UK, and hasn’t been since 1995. ( I pay a subscription to Sky for generally good golf coverage). There are limited highlights on the BBC for some golf events, but that’s it. Are other/all PGA events on NBC?  Allowing ticket scalping is a systemic failure across sports and showbiz, which could be legislated against, but in the UK is not in any meaningful way. I don’t know much about the secondary market in the US or anti scalping measures.  Charging more to keep prices down is an interesting concept, in practice no doubt you are right even if It sounds a bit Catch 22  Do you think sports tickets and broadcast rights  should be sold on a purely capitalist basis, or is there an argument to say that some sports might benefit more from wider exposure and affordable access. ( golf in the US is apparently not one of these if tickets sold out at those prices so quickly)  Fans might benefit from cheaper tickets and in the UK at least, TV coverage that reaches a wider audience.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By WillieT ·

      Day 216 (4 Dec 24) - Dink and roll Weds - working on the green side short game covering 5-10 yd chips to low running pitches to about 50 yds (I have accommodating neighbors).  Focused on keeping stance more narrow, eye target about 2” in front of the ball AND not looking up until I see the ball leave.  This drill has really enhanced my confidence in making more consistent ball strikes.
