Just heard from someone who would know that Tiger played...
- Thread starter JC-DAWG83
- Start date
Didn't know that, Yahoo Sports loves them some Tiger, the guy...
who told me has a relative who is a member and was at the course on Friday when Tiger was finishing up.
I thought it was interesting that Tiger played on Friday, flew home and came back on Sunday afternoon. I guess those guys get used to that jet travel and they don't mind the travel. I've been lucky enough to go on one trip in a private plane and it does make travel very easy.

I was really hoping he wouldn't play. I hate watching the Masters when he
does anymore. They seem to spend so much time on him, even if the leaders are on the course at the same time. He can be half a dozen strokes back and they still show him on every hole.

He drives ratings, period. Ratings are down without Tiger
Might come back someday, but probably not to when Tiger was tearing it up.
From a recent article..
Inevitably, any conversation about Woods turns to his impact on the golf industry and the game's future after he decides to leave it for good. When he missed last year's Masters, I examined his impact on major tournaments through the years and unsurprisingly found spikes in viewership and ticket prices when Woods was competing. Sure enough, according to Sports Media Watch, the 2014 Masters that handed Bubba Watson the green jacket drew the lowest average ratings since 1957. (It should be noted that Phil Mickelson was also absent from weekend play after missing the cut.)

Woods' presence will undoubtedly boost Masters viewership over last year, and will pump some life into the sport beyond Augusta. The PGA Tour has been trounced on television by March Madness and even Nascar, which beat NBC's broadcast of the Texas Open in ratings and viewers despite the STP 500 airing on cable rather than network
