|  Tiger Woods out of Masters after back surgery Tiger Woods is out of the Masters. The world's No. 1 player announced on his web site Tuesday that he will be unable to play in the Masters next week after having successful microdiscectomy for a pinched nerve in his back. The surgery was performed Monday in Park City, Utah, by neurosurgeon Dr. Charles Rich. http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports...rgery/7159391/

|   Ok, sad news.......but it's still The Masters........and as always it will be great to watch. Best tournament all year, imo. I'll be there Monday to watch the first practice round, and I have a good friend playing this year. Michael McCoy, USGA Mid-Amateur Champion.

|   Sucks him not being there. Gonna be weird, but I'm sure there will still be plenty of drama and good golf being played.  I had the same microdiscectomy performed in July '06. "Recovery can take several weeks" seems a bit of a stretch. The back, especially lower back, is nothing to f*ck around with for someone that plays golf for a living. |

|   Does anyone else agree that the tv coverage of The Masters is actually the worst of all four majors? Coverage of the play, i should say.

|   That's the point. it's the Masters, you shouldn't have an all access pass. I'd love to watch the par 3 tourney. Maybe some day I'll score a ticket and see it. I'm gonna take a shot with Jason Day in pari mutual wagering. |

|   I have DirecTV and they have expanded coverage which is quite good. They even have A 3D channel which makes you feel like you are actually there. Only thing is I cant watch for more than 20 minutes of 3D without getting nauseous. |

|   I'm gonna come to my senses one of these days and take advantage of being able to watch the tournament, and actually make the trip. |
