If someone like Angel Cabrera wins (no offense dude), I'm gonna be pissed.

I don't understand what this qualification means:

From https://www.golfdigest.com/story/2018-masters-see-whos-in-the-field-at-augusta

It means not opposite field events, I think.

I think cellphones are allowed on practice days but I cannot find any practice round videos on Instagram.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I think every fan is more interested.

It's not like Tiger fans didn't watch the last few years. They're still golf fans.

Yup. Me included.

I watch it every year no matter what.

No, just cameras. Not phones.

Though I doubt they’d confiscate my cellular Apple Watch. ;-)

I always read the New York sports sections online so I saw this today also. Looks like  "Stormy" weather is approaching.

I don't understand people being obsessed with other people's sex lives.  Whether it's sports, politics, entertainment, or otherwise.

Tiger may have a major distraction that will hurt his chances.

Tiger Woods break up is getting ugly

He might have cheated on ...someone he was dating? That’s news? I mean...not exemplary behavior but ...wh..what?

Not sure I remember a Masters where so many big names going in on good form, including Tiger. Looking at the odds, traditionally there's 5-7 guys who have odds 20-1 or lower. This week there's 11-14, depending on which sportsbook you go by. It's pretty amazing. With that being said, the winner will probably be a 100-1 shot like Adam Hadwin or someone like that. That's usually the way it goes. Already got my 80-1 ticket on Brian Harman. May also play DJ as I think he is going under the radar big time.

Tiger's mistake was offering her money in exchange for a NDA. She watched the news, saw what's going on with Stormy Daniels, got herself a seedy lawyer. They timed this news release during Masters week for max exposure. It will be interesting to see how much play this story gets.

And yet, right or wrong, the "Gossip Business" has been a hugely lucrative one for generations. It's like driving by an accident on the side of the road. We all hate that we do it, but we all slow down to look.

Who cares?

I don't care what any of these guys do off the course if it doesn't affect me (or their golf).

I just don't.

It will receive zero play at Augusta.

Yeah...I tried being the judge of the universe (and Woods) for awhile. Truth is, that isn't any of my business. Move along, nothing to see here. -Marv

I understand this thread probably isn't the one where this should be talked about (if it should at all) so I won't bring it up again after this. It's a seedy story. We all know what's happened the past few years in Tiger's life. He's admitted to and been treated for at least two addictions. One of them "sexual". If even some of this new story is true, I'd think those close to him are at the least, concerned. If you're only interested in his golf, that's fine. Hey, we don't know him, it's none of our business. I get that. It's just sad though to see anyone struggle with life the way he has the last ten years or so.

Concerned about what? He is not married and it’s obvious she is a gold digger. His mistake is not just going with prostitutes.

Most of that is easy to understand - basically, all competitions over the running year between Masters tournaments. The 'full point allocation' issue is addressed below:

http://www.espn.com/golf/columns/story?columnist=sirak_ron&id=2855377

Even after that, it's still not clear...

Currently focusing on: Key 4 - shorter backswing.

What's in the bag: Callaway X2 Hot Driver, Titleist 915F 3 wood, X2 Hot 3 Hybrid, 3, 5-AW Apex Pro irons, 54*, 58* Cleveland RTX, Odyssey Versa 1 Putter

Lots of Brits in the small field, all short on majors, so I'd be thrilled if any of them can do it. My hunch though is Bubba Watson, who's has the game and the form. Obviously Tiger managing #15 would also make a great spectacle. 

Exciting times.
