I dont get why the masters has been so resistant. [Reply]
People complaining about Masters coverage have no idea about the history of its coverage. In the 80s and into the 90s, you saw almost no shots on the front nine at all. They expanded their coverage significantly in 2004, and have, by far, the least amount of commercial interruptions of any other tournament. [Reply]

I might be mistaken but I thought like 10-15 years ago they had it on commercial free for like 6 hours.
Was that an experiment or short term trial? :-) [Reply]
