    Anyone getting excited about the Masters this week?

    I have to admit .. I am not at all. Usually I can't wait. Tiger isn't the same because of Sheen's blood or do I have that backwards?

    Anyways, no hype at all it seems. No controversy. No talk of a grand slam winner. No car crashing into trees in the middle of the night and wife attacking with an iron.

    Golf is definately better to watch now since HD came along. It's also great to watch as I'm in MN and green is right around the corner for us. Another week or two and I'll be swinging the sticks myself.

    So Phil wins for the first time since last year's Masters and now he's the favorite for the Masters?

    GTFOOH!

    I'll let you guys play him.

    You couldn't be more wrong. As far as Phil being the favorite, well, he has won it three times.

    of course he's right....it's not exactly a revelation that Tiger drives the viewership....that's why he'll be one of the featured groups when he's down 10 shots on sunday

    you might not care about the ratings and that's fine because i'll enjoy it no matter what too but to play contrarian and act like it's not fact is silly

    Tiger isn't the same player. There are plenty of young golfers out there that are doing well. The tour is doing just fine without Tiger winning.

    The Masters will always generate ratings and get the viewers. I could care less if Tiger ever played a round of golf again.

    The Masters was popular before Tiger, and will continue to be so with or without him.

    Why wouldn't Phil be the favorite?

    He has won it 3 times, he is the defending champ, and he is coming off a win at Houston.

    Who else should/could be the favorite?

    Tiger will be there, how can anyone not watch the masters. Most beautiful course in the world, spring in augusta. I just bought a new hdtv , I can't wait. The course, in itself, is worth watching.

    I agree with you. I am excited about the Masters. Tiger and Phil won't win. I am shocked Kaymer doesn't get any respect at the books either.
