Tiger is a new man.



The first day of the Masters is less than 48 hours away from us. I can't wait to see shots of Magnolia Lane, the Tea Olive (1st hole) which could be the most nerve racking shot in golf, to Amer Corner. The Masters is upon us, with breathtaking views of tree lined fairways and pins tucked in places that seem to be unfair and impossible. As a golf fan we are all in for a real treat this week. I can't wait to see players try to pin seek the 9th green to see it roll off 50-60 yards.

We are going to see a new Tiger this year according to Tiger. Tiger says he is going to be nice to the fans for once. But do we buy it? This is the guy who yells at rowdy fans, and gets in photographers faces. Personally I believe him. This is a changed man who has nothing to lose and everything to prove.

Tiger also wants the focused to be moved away from him and put more on golf. Why? Everyone knows that the viewer ratings over the last decade have been solely based on seeing if Tiger is in the final pairing on Sunday, and if he's not it's almost a let down. If Tiger doesn't play we don't watch. If he doesn't win we wonder what happened. It doesn't matter if you are a lover or a hater of Tiger, America watches tournaments when he's playing and almost doesn't care about golf when he's not.

Tiger, Tiger, Tiger. It's always going to be Tiger, so just get used to it.

Do you think he'll get busted for HGH?

I think this is going to be one of the most watched Master's in a long time. The bad thing about that is it has nothing to do with golf and everything to do with Tiger! This man is a traveling circus! And lets face it... he is the only reason most of us will even consider watching golf half the time.
