Also, is there a list of all the changes made over time collected anywhere?

Yes, on masters.org,

basically, the most important change is that they remove some trees at 11, the same trees they planted 5 years ago... isn't that great

..and what impact will the changes actually have on play?  Tiger proof or tiger-help?

Tiger-proofing is a myth, since the greatest golfer in the history of the world can win everywhere, especially on lengthened holes with rough. If they want to neutralize his advantage rather than playing into his strength, they'd widen out every hole, shorten the distances, create more options for players, and let everyone hit short clubs into the greens. He'd probably still win, but more other players would be in the mix.

Removal of a few trees and a few more hole locations shouldn't make much difference.

Brad,

Nice thought, except for all the courses that are overly concerned with "protecting par". I agree that the match-ups might be a little bit tighter, still giving Tiger the advantage, but I think the unbelievable low scores (thinking....-30? more?) would wreck havoc on the egos of all those "prestigious" layouts the memberships love to lay claim to.
