TIGER WOODS SHOOTS FOR GRAND SLAM AS MASTERS BEGINS TODAY
Today starts the Masters. Certainly the best golf tournament of the year, and as it always coincides closely with the first or second week of baseball, yet another reminder that winter is over, and the nice weather is on the way.
As usual Brooktown will have a pool associated with it, and we will update the standing here and on our website www.BrooktownLeague.com if you are interested.
The Masters also is the first major event of the year, and due to how well Tiger has played the last 2 years, add to that the courses set up for the other major events this year are ones that Tiger has a ton of success on, have garnered much chatter in the media that this will be the year someone (Tiger) wins the Grand Slam.
I’d love to see Tiger make a run at it, it would be a very exciting final major if Tiger can take the Masters this weekend (he has won it 4 times), the US Open is at Doral (where he has won 4 times) then the British Open is at Royal Birkdale (where I have no idea what he has won there but the Links courses always play well for Tiger), then just as the Olympics are starting the 4th major would be at Oakland Hills.
There are 94 players teeing off at the Masters today, yet the odds of Tiger winning are even money. That is stunning considering the closest, according to the odd makers, to Tiger is Phil Mickelson at 8-1 and there are 93 other players in the field.
The weather should be nice in Georgia today, tomorrow and Saturday, so we should see some decent scoring.
According to my man Jim Lamply there will be plenty of coverage, and over the weekend we will see the leaders from hole 1 right up until the end. So get comfy this weekend, settle in and get ready to hopefully watch Tiger green jacket number 5.
Here is the Masters TV schedule.
TV Wed., April 9.....ESPN - 3 PM - 5 PM ET
