Go Tiger! If he pulls it off, it will be quite remarkable.
 
Michael Campbells last year under his exemption from his 2005 win. So probably his last Masters.
 
Who else looking forward to this?

cant wait. must be one of the most highly anticipated masters for quite some time. really rooting for tiger to win, that would be amazing to see

must be on campbells mind that this could be his last masters, i imagine he will win it to give himself another 5 year pga exemption?

Live is 8am to 11am. Some highlights from 6am to 8am. IPL gets preference through the night.

And Tiger tees off at about 6am. So there should be some live Tiger action. Agree, IPL pisses me off.

do you think a comeback straight into a major was the right choice or he should have done a few smaller tournaments first. i think its differnet this time cos hes not coming back from injury

Yeah interesting one, if he'd done it through smaller tournaments there probably wouldn't have been as much anticipation. Cause now, no one knows how well he's playing and whats going to happen. I think a good thing for him is theres no expectation. If he misses the cut, a lot of people won't be surprised but if he wins it it'll be the biggest major win in decades imo.

I've always thought Campbell's win at the 2005 US Open was a fluke.

Not really, he won other big tournamens that year. The matchplay champs being the obvious one. The guy obviously has/had talent but his head must be in all sorts of space.
 
I knew he was in trouble when he started talking about himself in the 3rd person late 05 early 06

We all know the Campbell will play like a decent golfer at one stage this year. Then he will get back into everything.

I hate golf with a passion but I hope Tiger wins this to stick it up everyone who's been wanting him to disclose details that are between him and his family and got nothing to do with golf.

Certainly not true. He had performed well in a number of tournaments in the year or so leading up to it. From memory he was one of the most consistent performers on the European Tour in that period.

Potential for a very congested playoff here. Reckon -11 will win it. Massive keen to see Tiger win this.
