  Honorary starters Jack Nicklaus and Arnold Palmer will get the tournament started Thursday morning but the hoopla unofficially begins Monday when Tiger Woods faces the media at roughly 3 p.m. ET. Busy Monday in the sports world!
  
  After all the smoke clears, will Tiger win his fifth Green Jacket?

  If Tiger somehow wins this thing, ESPN will self-implode.

  I'm actually glad Tiger is trying to come back but his chances of making the cut are slim to none. If he does make the cut it could get interesting.
• dat dude

  "Slim to none" of making the cut? You laying odds for that bet?
• royal_k

  

  I'll take that "slim to none" bet.
  
  I would never bet against Tiger.
• dave

  Hoping to see Freddie and/or Duval make a run. DD has been playing terrible lately but Freddie is hot.
• rock_knutne

  The "cut" comment has me laughing too. I totally expect Tiger to be there on Sunday with a chance to win.
• Big Red Monster

  Im thinking this may be the higest rated Masters in history.

  I agree very much with both of these posts. I expect Tiger to finish in the top five (minimum) and for Sunday to have HUGE ratings.

  Im hoping Camillo has a good run in him. He has become my second favorite golfer to watch.

  I don't see Tiger winning this.
• I Wear Pants

  This is going to be awesome.
• mattinctown

  I don't see Tiger winning this, but a top 10 finish is likely IMO. As far as not making the cut, give me a break.

  It will be interesting to see how the weather change affects scoring today. Around noon, the wind is kicking up to 10-15 with gusts to 30. Huge advantage for those on the course right now.
  
  Phil and some guys should have decent weather on the front, but it will get worse on the back. Tiger is looking in bad shape with a late tee time.

  Anyone watch the Par 3 yesterday??? It was an absolute blast watching Arnie, Gary and Jack out there. As well as all the kids with the dad's; and letting them hit some putts.
  
  As far as Tiger goes; if you don't think he is going to make the cut, you don't know anything about his game or this tournament. He will be there in the hunt(if not the lead) at the turn on Sunday.
  
  
  And Laley, I completely agree about Camillo. I love watching him play, I think this could be a "break out" year for him on tour.

  Later afternoon tee times today AND early morning tee times tomoorrow will BOTH get screwed by the weather. Going to be a tough road for Tiger. Ill take Ernie Els to win the Masters!!

• dave

  seems like watson is always there early in the tourney.
• gorocks99

  

  And there it is ... he's back on the course. Good tee shot, I gotta believe even Tiger had a little bit of butterflies going on.
• wildcats20

  

  Great to see him smile also.
  
  And a nice moment between Choi and Tiger, who from my knowledge have always had a pretty good relationship.
• mallymal614

  lol the Tiger Butt kissers has me laughing. The same people rooting for him in the crowd are probably the same who bashed him any chance they could get the last few months.
• karen lotz

  

  For sure cats, I think it is a pretty comfortable pairing for Tiger. It can only help settle whatever he is feeling inside to have a friend in his group.

  Day 1 is all about Tom Watson now. Par 18 and shoot an opening round 68.
