Where does this one rank on your top most boring Masters’ ever?

Top 5 here. Between no patrons, no real competition Saturday and Sunday, toothless course conditions, and DJ’s generally boring demeanor, it’s gotta be up there.
That said, glad they played it and didn’t cancel. Better than nothing.

The Masters is never boring to me.

Yeah the course played easier but i wouldn’t call that masters boring. Def different and i do wish it played much harder. I completely disagree with the DJ comment. If you aren’t just floored by his demeanor on the golf course in the most high pressured moments then you’ve never played competitive golf. I don’t need this rah rah guys that throw a bunch of fists around and yell. There’s only one person that made that enjoyable. DJ is an absolute assassin and although it wasn’t very competitive it was def interesting to see someone rip through Augusta like that regardless of the conditions.

I enjoyed seeing the course with no fans...but the course played easy and took a bit away from the putting and chipping skills that is usually demanded.
Once DJ built the cushion, I watched very little of the tournament on Saturday and Sunday.

The production was spectacular. People at home saw nooks and corners of the course that we had never seen before. It was incredible TV.
Johnson was super, but we all know it didn’t play like it plays in the spring. It was easier. But Johnson destroyed all comers. None of the top ranked guys could get close enough to push him. He had a great tournament, but it was kind of hum drum as far as drama goes.
I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Wait, no mention of Tiger's 10 on #12?

I enjoyed. Mainly seeing the course without any fans. But just want to see that once. Looking forward to 2021.

It was really cool to see the course without fans and grandstands. However, no fans does take away from the excitement. It was a cool one year thing, but hopefully we get fans back in April. The Masters and golf in general is not the same without them.

Without the fans you saw the course in its purity. Never knew there were that many homes/cottages throughout the course. It was boring but that had alot to do with no drama over the weekend. When D.J. lays up on reachable par 5's, its boring. But I'm glad they played it.

The thing I liked most about this years tournament was the new views from drones and cameras due to no patrons. Secondly not having any patrons allowed us to be able to hear the conversations between players and caddies. Which i really enjoyed.

What does 22 down votes tell you? It tells me that most people didn't find it boring, myself included.

Only “disappointment” for me was that Augusta was not in it’s usual unnaturally flawless condition. There is a sense of otherworldly strangeness to Augusta’s usual perfection in April that I didn’t feel this year.

I think the wording of your OP is causing a lot of the reaction. It definitely wasn't boring...I watched every minute that I could each day, and recorded what I couldn't watch live.
However, as Masters go, I agree with your sentiment that it was in the top 5 least exciting that I can remember. There hasn't been a Masters that's been this anticlimactic since Tiger's win in 1997. As they say, the tournament begins on the second nine on Sunday. It was virtually over then. However, I'd watch it all over again if it started again Thursday.

Having fans there would have made it much more exciting.
I wouldn’t say boring but anticlimactic. Dj just dominated last two days.

I mean did it really play that much easier? I understand it played easier - I will concede that, but certainly not enough to make a huge difference.
The leaderboards look similar in comparison to last year...
Players 10 under par or more
2020 - 9
2019 - 11
Players even par or better
2020 - 45 (60 players made cut)
2019 - 48 (65 players made cut)
Cut line
2020 - E
2019 - +3
I’m sure there may be some other relevant stats but saying it played easier is dismissive to how well DJ played. That dude could not miss a fairway.

I watched every minute of it like I do every year, but I would be lying if I didn't say it was just not the same and never felt the same from the start. There were definitely some pros of seeing the course like we've never been able to before, but the lead-up to the tournament, not having a par 3 tournament to kick things off Wednesday, the 7 AM starts and 5:30 finishes, no fans, no Sunday roars, no real drama whatsoever on Sunday, easier than normal course conditions (out of their control), all combined to make it one of the more boring Masters of recent memory. Probably the least amount of Sunday drama since Spieth won in 2015. People may say Willett, but he at least came back from 3 down after 54 holes to win by 3. At one point Saturday, it appeared it could go quite the opposite when 9 players were tied for the lead, then DJ just blew away the field and never looked back. Extremely impressive tournament for DJ regardless and more than deserving champ. The stretch he's had since the restart has been simply amazing.
