Meh, keep in mind that ESPN gets paid for the number of viewers, in terms of thousands. look @ the demographic of golf fans. You need ~142k viewers for an entire hour to generate $100k in advertising revenue.
So while some folks will take the afternoon off to see the Masters, or take a late lunch, the majority of viewers that watch the masters are working during that time slot, or to get enough viewers en masse to cover the costs of broadcasting it vs. doing whatever the frick ESPN has on it.
Watch ESPN
It's Friday.

To be honest ANGC doesn't give a shite about that either.
Yea, once you've been and seent it you realize that the whole thing is not about the money. From the price of admission to the concessions. It's all about creating a utopia of awesomeness and sharing it how they see fit.

It's my favorite tournament but they definitely have some really stupid traditions.
The crystal vase and the gold medal this isn't the fricking Olympics

I actually think that the lack of wall to wall coverage makes me want to watch all of it each year that is actually televised. Never get burned out on watching Masters coverage; it never gets stale. So when it is on, damn right I'm watching.
