I though CBS showed the Masters, I mean what was all that shit I kept seeing during the NCAA's?

4/9/2009 6:55:31 PM

he must have meant the 1st and 2nd rounds

CBS is of course showing it on Sat and Sun

4/9/2009 9:55:04 PM

Correction, ESPN paid for all the coverage on Thursday and Friday's rounds. CBS will take over this weekend and hopefully we will actually get to see some freaking golf before 4 oclock.

The coverage so far has really pissed me off. The only thing available before 4 has been the ocassional highlights on Sportscenter. The Golf Channel has been doing a "Live from the Masters" both days from 10-4... the only live feed they have to the golf course is a spectators view of the 1st fairway. this sucks.

4/10/2009 10:54:07 AM

^ you can watch 11,12,13,15,and 16 on ESPN.com all day

You won't. It starts at 3:30pm eastern tomorrow on CBS and 2pm on Sunday. Really, we're lucky we're even getting to see most of the Rounds 3 and 4 for the leaders. In years past they wouldn't even ALLOW the front 9 to be shown at all...

well this just sucks.

4/10/2009 11:46:44 AM

Barring a total field collapse Tiger has no chance this weekend. 7 back with 36 to play...

4/10/2009 4:13:58 PM

cot damn tiger looks pissed

4/10/2009 4:16:10 PM

he'll violently fuck Elin tonight and come out with a 64 tomorrow

then make a valiant effort on sunday but ultimately finish 2 back

unfortunately, because the coverage sucks ass i didn't see it, but he bogeyed the par 5 18th amounting to a two shot swing for him heading in. Par 5s are always his bread and butter and I can imagine he would be pissed at giving a shot back there.

4/10/2009 4:23:40 PM

^yeah,he put his 3rd shot into the bunker, made a nice save out of the bunker for about a 8 footer and then lipped out the par putt.

4/10/2009 4:27:21 PM

doesn't surprise me. can't hit a putt to save his life this week so far. His striking has put him in position to be with the leaders, but he has missed a handful of putts he normally nails

4/10/2009 4:29:29 PM

as much as i hate Tiger Woods... my gut feeling says he'll be in one of the last 3 groups on sunday with a couple strokes to make up on the back nine.

4/10/2009 11:32:14 PM

Its Tiger fucking Woods, expect the unexpected, 2 days down, 2 days to go, anything can happen

4/10/2009 11:42:03 PM

ok guys lets calm down

it's all because Augusta

HEAVILY

4/11/2009 12:54:42 AM

Did it start with the crazy women protests out side or were the controls there before that

4/11/2009 2:44:20 AM

gay coverage

has it always been like this? it seems like a year or two ago I remember waking up around 10ish on sunday, turning on the tv, and watching the entire final round live.

4/11/2009 8:08:27 AM

prolly the funniest thing i heard was on the first day:

Tiger was teeing off and someone yelled "Get in your hole!" The TV announcer proceeds to say "Oh please, not a Augusta." he was actually disappointed.

4/11/2009 9:54:35 AM

I guess it has always been like this.

"why?"

I have seen Tiger in person way too many times, and met enough pro's who have told stories about the guy. He is an arrogant prick who could give 2 shits about the people who basically write his check. If it wasnt for the fans being out there day in and day out, the sport would drop and so would his money. He wont even sign the freaking Ryder Cup flag to go in the Hall of Fame for fear of it winding up on ebay. I really despise the guy and especially what the media has turned him into. You cant even watch a tournament where he isnt close without them going through his whole round shot by shot.

4/11/2009 10:01:33 AM

a lot of golfers are pricks. i am able to live with it.

ftfy.

And the coverage has been this snooty for as long as I can remember. The only thing that was different when Martha Burke protested was there were no commercials for that year.

4/11/2009 12:23:33 PM

So no TV coverage until 3:30 CBS?

4/11/2009 1:03:10 PM

tiger really needs to birdie 18 to have any shot - getting to five would put him in one of the final five or so groups and give him a chance to use that intimidation factor

i really think the lead at the end of the day will be eleven - perry and campbell have to slow down a little bit

or not - perry birdies 10 to go to 12 under

4/11/2009 5:05:57 PM

phil on the prowl?

4/12/2009 2:52:06 PM

Mickelson playing hot through 6. Tiger is still in it, just needs some birdies.


I don't know how the world rankings go, but what does Mickelson need to do to pass Tiger for #1?

4/12/2009 2:52:21 PM

holy shit what a shot by phil

4/12/2009 2:59:57 PM

that was the best shot i have seen in a loooonnggg time.

go get em phil.

4/12/2009 3:01:19 PM

tiger almost matched phil with that putt

4/12/2009 3:03:01 PM

i tell you these guys that are in the lead better watch out...

it'll be mickelson or tiger...

if mickelson keeps it up, he'll have his own EA golf game and not Tiger

4/12/2009 3:22:29 PM

vintage phil on that one, just when things are going good

4/12/2009 3:25:03 PM

he'll shoot a 63 today, but a 75 tomorrow.




just how he works.

4/12/2009 3:45:22 PM

i doubt he will play tomorrow.

4/12/2009 3:56:45 PM

shut up.


yesterday didn't exist for me so it feels like f'ing saturday.

4/12/2009 4:05:00 PM

hahaha

4/12/2009 4:06:16 PM

^^ point well taken tho... as agressive as Phil is (and mentally unstable) he could very well win 8 tournaments a year and also miss 10 cuts.

4/12/2009 4:10:40 PM

welp, so much for that

4/12/2009 4:14:32 PM

4/12/2009 4:14:33 PM

4/12/2009 5:04:30 PM

This is absolutely incredible... even if they don't win.

4/12/2009 5:05:37 PM

if tiger wins this, I won't be able to watch espn for a year

then I'll have to avoid it for the hype for next year's masters
