CBS Sports: 2022 Masters Up 7%, Most Watched Golf Telecast In Three Years

Tiger Woods gave early round coverage a boost but a pair of weekend 78’s made him only a small part of CBS’s coverage. Couple that with a three stroke lead by Scheffler, no major stars expected to contend Sunday and lackluster ratings all year, and CBS must be thrilled with these numbers.

They’re also declaring record streaming numbers but there are no numbers released…

Champions, Cutmakers and Point Missers: 2022 Masters

I might mention that we were the first to use Pinkerton’s at a sporting event. The club then had no fence around its property and, because of this, a considerable number of people saw no reason to buy a ticket to see our tournament. This is where Pinkerton’s come in handy. The deputies and police had too many personal friends, whereas the Pinkerton men played no favorites. CLIFFORD ROBERTS

Committee Has Reviewed Scheffler's 18th Hole Drop: No Issues

Some people have the mistaken impression that the Masters is all about golf. That's wrong. The Masters is only about golf in Sunday's final round when the leaders reach the tenth tee and the usual unruly things begging to happen on the last nine holes. DAN JENKINS

/ Geoff Shackelford

Third round Masters leader Scottie Scheffler took an unplayable lie relief and one shot penalty Saturday en route to a 71. He leads by three heading into the final round.

Several social media users took issue parts of the seven-minute drop situation, including what ball Scheffler was using and what was found, the two-club length relief and his clearing of some pine needles. A club spokesman confirmed that the Rules Committee has reviewed the drop and has no concerns with how it was handled by Scheffler or official Kevin Feeney of the DP World Tour.

After reviewing the Featured Group coverage and screen grabs of the ball resting under the Holly, the number looks like a 6 and a 7 depending on when the video is paused and the quality of the video.

But one things is clear: Scheffler calls out to the forecaddies to be looking for a Titleist 7. The forecaddie is heard definitively calling out that he has located a Titleist 7

Saturday At The Masters: Scheffler Maintains His Lead On A Difficult Day

Whenever I played the thirteenth or fifteenth hole at Augusta, [my dad] had a habit of kneeling down, cupping his hands and yelling, “Lay up, lay up!” He was just beside himself every time I got near the water. BEN CRENSHAW

Your 2022 Masters Early Viewing Guide With Amen Corner Live Here Again

I am no lover of the habit of giving names to holes, but the trees and shrubs which give identity to the holes at Augusta are real enough: flowering peach, magnolia—the drive is alive with them too; yellow jasmine, Carolina cherry, camellia—never was the iron gauntlet of challenge more skillfully concealed in velvet.  BOBBY JONES

Survey Says: Tiger's 1997 Win Still The Best In The Eyes Of His Peers

Jackie Burke put it best when he said, ‘It’s the most tempting golf course in the world.’ The conditions and the problems there put you in that position where you are tempted. You can play it safe or you can really chance it and pull off a shot that is truly rewarding.

/ Geoff Shackelford

While hardly scientific, that’s not the important takeaway from Doug Ferguson’s survey of professional golfers. He asked them to rank the best of Tiger’s wins.

It’s a good reminder of how dramatic each of his victories here have been and how much time separated numbers four and five.

Equally remarkable, if not more, was his fifth green jacket in 2019 after Woods returned from four surgeries on a lower back — the last one to fuse his spine — in such bad shape that he feared he might never be able to play again.

In between was his most historic Masters victory — the Tiger Slam — when Woods made it a clean sweep of the four professional majors in a span of 294 days. The feat remains his alone.

Video: Tiger's Sunday Masters "Stroll"

A video crew for Masters.com received exclusive access to Tiger Woods’ Sunday practice around and the official site has shared an edited package. Unfortunately it’s more glossy than meaty so it’s tough to tell much about his game, though he’s definitely taking an aggressive lash at the ball. The course was closed to all other media and spectators.

Bob Harig had details on the round if you’re looking for insights in how to play Woods for this week’s inevitable pools and fantasy lineups.

Oddsmakers at PointsBet are not bullish on Woods’ first round scoring potential, setting an over/under a 75.5

Judy Rankin Bids Farewell To Majors And Gets A Fitting Sendoff

A Masters credential with clubhouse-veranda-golf course privileges is more valuable than a lung or kidney. DAN JENKINS

/ Geoff Shackelford

Really a tremendous goodbye to Judy Rankin at the 2022 Dinah/Chevron Championship and in classic fashion she was a bit embarrassed to be taking away from Jennifer Kupcho’s winning moment.

16-Year-Old Anna Davis Wins The Augusta National Women's Amateur

Augusta is only fifty minutes by air from Atlanta, everything is just as you have remembered. The air is sweet and soft ; you never fail to see a few familiar golf faces around the terminal; and the man at the car rental desk once again can't seem to find a record of your reservation and can't quite fathom how anyone could have written you a confirmation.
