**doublej95** · 04-03-11, 03:51 PM

I always enjoy watching, just nice to see spring time on it's way.

**BIGDAY** · 04-03-11, 03:52 PM

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.

I always get excited for the Masters. It's part of what makes the middle of March to the middle of April my favorite sports month of the year along with NCAA tourney and Opening Day.

I love this week but its not the same without Tiger but I'll just root for Mickleson

**dfberger23** · 04-03-11, 04:24 PM

Can't wait.

**Cuse0323** · 04-03-11, 04:26 PM

I've very excited for The Masters...can't wait!!

I've seen higher odds than that. Greek had Woods to win about +715 the other day

**InTheDrink** · 04-03-11, 04:43 PM

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.

**payupsucker** · 04-03-11, 04:49 PM

Directv has like 7 channels covering the Masters.
I got a little saved to make some plays this week.
Thurs./Fri. work calls I let it ring.

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

I agree....this is a great time of year for sports. This and October are my favorite times of the year!

Always excited for the Masters. Its a tradition......unlike any other.

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.

**MartinBlank** · 04-03-11, 06:22 PM

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?

**gregm** · 04-03-11, 06:36 PM

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.

**Br0nxer** · 04-03-11, 08:08 PM

pumped.

mickelson 6-1 now at a lot of books after win today

**DwightShrute** · 04-04-11, 11:01 AM

Ok, now I am getting pumped up a little. Yes it's an amazing course. I am pulling for the lefty Mickelson.

**D3 Mighty Ducks** · 04-04-11, 05:18 PM

Tiger is +1000 at my book..

**D3 Mighty Ducks** · 04-04-11, 05:21 PM

Good price on D. Johnson +2500 and J. Rose +3500

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.

**DwightShrute** · 04-07-11, 01:40 PM

perfect day for golf!
