My bet is announcers are instructed not to allow discussion of TW not being present....normal weekly golf coverage would have half the broadcast time discussing TW absence...I say ANGC will not tolerate such....JMO

The last 8 Masters have been OK without a Tiger win, though he did lurk.
Fortunately T-4 ::) ::) at Texas Open doesn't get one in The Masters, so it should still watchable ;).

The Masters is far larger than any one golfer, it is a great event and a great event to watch irrespective of the composition of the field.

I'd take the over.  They'll find a way to incorporate TW's absence even if it's just in conjunction with his past wins

My bet is they are given instructions not to elaborate over TW....and if so it could be like the McCord incident....BP will go overboard to emphasize ANGC is bigger than one guy....

Mike - There will be no audio at all this year.  They're turning off all the mics for the entire 72 holes. They've even instructed that Jim Natz not be heard to say "Hello, friends" or "Welcome to a tradition unlike any other" -- the problem with the former is the overly familiar tone, the comparison implict in the latter problematically suggesting that there might actually be some other tradition worthy of note. Ambient sound will be allowed; if you listen carefully, you might hear the whispers of azaleas blooming.  Also, the echos of the 100 tenors they hired last month to sing teary arias and melt the ice off the trees might still be rebounding amongst the towering pines.  Listen especially for snippets from La Boheme.

The LPGA is right.  That cover was a bad joke on all golf lovers.  She's not a golfer, she doesn't belong anywhere but a quarter page buried deep in the magazine...in the "entertainment" or "celebrities" section.  This whole concept of "For Celebrities, for celebrities" dumbs down everything.  Casual eyeballs are fickle eyeballs...and they don't pay money.

As for the TW references, I'm afraid Joel is right...for two days at least we'll get too much discussion.  No, Mike, Augusta won't muzzle CBS...not on that.  They'll save the muzzling for incidents like last year's infamous drop/incorrect signing/keep him in the tournament incident.

I'm addressing all this in my Masters preview - "No Tiger? No Problem!"

A myth propagated by a lazy media is that Augusta is a great set up for Tiger.  He's hasn't won in 8 years, nor even held the lead at the end of any round.  On the modern, Hootie-ized ANGC , he has 1 win.  Tiger hasn't been a good driver for years, and this hurts him at Augusta, particularly his inability to hit a draw on the dogleg lefts.

Tiger had a real length advantage in his dominent early years at ANGC, but that's gone.

Sure he's usually in the mix but that partly due to the limited field.

The shortest odds you can get at the racetrack are 1 to 9 so that at $2 bet returns $2.10.

If I could take this bet, I'd fully mortgage my house and take the 1 to 9 odds you hear Tigers name....it's about as sure a thing as death and taxes.

Stranger things have happened
Live Jupiter, Fl, was  4 handicap, played top 100 US, top 75 World. Great memories, no longer play, 4 back surgeries. I don't miss a lot of things about golf, life is simpler with out it. I miss my 60 degree wedge shots, don't miss nasty weather, icing, back spasms. Last course I played was Augusta

Peter,

Pithy post of the century.

And:

For all of you whining about the Gretzky cover - well, get over yourself. This can be the precursor to the LPGA Centerfold of the Month. If a mag like GD is trying to get a few new subscribers, sex sells. I still have a permacrush on Jan Stephenson.

Next time one of you politically correct douches comes into a doctors office and find a woman reading anything but People and Cosmo - whose April headline shrieked how to "break the bed" with the latest sex moves - let me know.

Women LOVE to sneer that men are pigs, but we all know their fantasies are every bit as lurid.

The LPGA is fun to watch as a trifling amusement like the WNBA, but if they don't cut the shit and quit pretending that 90% of their sponsors are corporate clowns trying to make points with politically correct lock-steppers, they are doomed as an unsustainable and failed ideological experiment, subsidized by corporate guilt and underwritten as a tax write-off.

90% of the women who actually buy a ticket WITH THEIR OWN MONEY to attend an LPGA event are horny lesbians or hot shit amateurs who want to see how the big girls throw their hips into the ball. The rest of the gallery are men hoping Natalie Gulbis has a wardrobe malfunction or have a Bank of America pass for free booze.

Asian journalists do not count because they are there to make sure that poor Korean gal trying to make it on tour is harassed into insanity.

Phil's post raises the question of whether anyone ever regretted Tiger proofing (or Jack proofing) a golf course?  I can imagine them saying "Darn, Tiger hasn't won here in 8 years...wonder why.....oh, wait!" Of course, at a lesser event, he would just skip.
