I’ve watched it every year since I can remember. I’d like to see Tiger get one more to silence all the haters.

Definitely ready.

Also, the final round Sunday will be followed that evening by the last season of Game of Thrones.

Should be a great Sunday.

Rooting for Spieth.

Probably my most favorite sporting event of the year.
After last week’s sensational Player’s Championship, it appears that the top players are at the top of their games and ready for The Masters.
Can’t wait for this one!

I don't watch a lot of golf but I do enjoy the Masters. I guess it also means that spring is here.

Cant wait! its the official start of spring for me. Open up the house and let the ocean breeze in while I nap on the couch. Favorite sporting event of the year and I'm a HUGE football fan. Rory will have to clean up his game after his start saturday at the players to get it done. I'm pulling for him to get the grand slam but would also like Rickie to win a major...or anyone but Reed again.

If he learned anything at the players, and decides to listen to his caddy, Jon Rahm has the game to win at Augusta, BIG BIG hitter, accurate iron player. But he could blow up too, should be fun to watch. Fowler doesn't have the toughness or resolve to win there. JMHO

Can't wait! The Masters is my favorite sporting event of the year. It is the one golf tournament that maintains my interest regardless of Tiger playing.

I will be there Friday and Saturday this year. Had the option to attend Sunday as well, but passed. IMHO Sunday has too much "action" to not watch from home.

I never planned it specifically, but I always seemed to visit my parents the weekend of the Masters. I wasn't a big golf fan, but my dad and I would watch it together. I still remember watching the 1986 event with Jack winning. We both thought it amazing.

He's been gone quite a while now but sometimes I tune in. My daughter, who never met her grandfather calls me or comes to see me every Masters weekend to make sure I don't get too melancholy.

She might have a hard time this year, as she's scheduled to make me a grandfather for the first time, over the Masters weekend.

You can get overwhelmed trying to see and do everything in a day. My two most important tips:

1 - Get there early and go straight to the merchandise "tent" and buy anything and everything you want. Then, the little building next to the merchandise area is a bag check. Check your merchandise and go have fun the rest of the day. If you try to go at the end of the day, it is way too busy.

2 - Eat everything. Enjoy the pimento cheese sandwich, egg salad sandwich, club, etc. No matter if you are drinking beer or soda, make sure to save the plastic cups. They are great little souvenirs and they have the year printed on them.

Don't follow golf, but went to Master's with my uncle and dad a few years back for the practice rounds. it was a great experience. seeing the course in the person was a remarkable experience. the smell of fresh cut grass, the azaleas blooming. the $1 beers...
