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.

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.

Here. Here.

Things I loved about this year's Masters:

1) The absence of the grand stands allowed for angles of viewing and shots I've never seen. Smith's hook on 15 would have been in the seats.

2) Drone footage was awesome. Views from the tree tops down onto the players as they made their way around the course only reminded me of just how gorgeous that place is.

3) Im is going to be a beast of a golfer in the years to come. He's boring because he seldom misses a fairway and has a phenomenal short game. Was in awe of his round on Sunday.

4) Paulina in yoga pants

Im is really impressive. His drives are dead straight and the difference between him and DJ is just a few putts. It's why they play the game but it doesn't take much to get a few more of Im's putts to sink and DJ's putts to lip out.

For a few holes on Sunday, it looked like DJ was going to give it away again but the man performed impressively under pressure.

Cameron Smith was interesting to watch also. I'd love to have a beer on a boat while bass fishing with that guy.

Appreciated the view of the course. The golf was fun to watch. Crowd didn’t dictate my attention to a certain golfer.

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.

I loved it, but I am a fan of good golf and DJ was superb.

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.

Was it just me or did Tiger's back get dramatically better when he made 5 birdies on the last 6 holes??

He was a little ginger getting out of that bunker on 12 and then just said you know what? My back doesn't hurt any more.

He looked like the old Tiger that said IM FREAKING TIGER WOODS BITCHES!! COME GET ME!! And he hit the shots and putts to back it up!

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.

This isn't even close to Zach Johnson's win.

The dude layed up on EVERY SINGLE par 5 that weekend and won.

Besides, nothing will ever compare to last year so it doesn't matter anyway.

Was awesome to see Johnson just obliterate that course. It was Prime Tiger esque.

It obviously wasn’t the same as an April Masters but I’m happy it took place.

Ideally it plays more like the fast and firm course we all know it to be. It was playing about as difficult as the Zurich Classic does this week. It’s weird seeing guys miss hit irons into the greens and not get punished.

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.

This and many other comments... Not a tiger fan so the 10 was amusing to me.

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