They don't and likely never will show us every shot or wire to wire coverage, but every year there are a plethora of posters voicing their complaints

While I wouldn't mind the extra coverage, I think the exclusivity adds a little to the aura.

I'll set the number at 6 (not including this one)

I'll say it. The Masters is the best covered and produced sporting event of the year. Period.

Agree, and I know with the Thur/Fri flip of when the groups tee off it would be near impossible, but I think the top players should be playing the evening rounds when there is live coverage.

Not even close. Last year it was 4-5 shots then a commercial like clockwork.

Masters has fewest commercials of any sporting event by a lot

I hardly ever watch golf but I was bored so I watched some last weekend. There was a stretch Sunday where they literally never showed a live shot for about 30 minutes - have a commercial, then come back and show everything that happened during the commercial on tape, then by that time it was time for another commercial, repeat a couple or three times.

got to be better than that

Meh, not being able to watch the Thursday/Friday rounds live is malarkey IMO.

This may be true, but the exclusion of wire-to-wire live coverage on Thursday and Friday certainly does not help their case.

What are you smoking... The Masters has like 3m of commercials per hour of live coverage

It also prevents the watering down of their brand


You could water it down a lot and it would still stay sweet, but they don't want it

I find it interesting that you would post a thread about people whining who haven't even whined yet. That makes you the whiner. Enjoy the masters.

You're going to see a lot of threads complaining about them showing the greatest golfer of all time if (when) he is not within 5 strokes of the lead. He is quite the polarizing figure on this board.
