    I don't know. I wonder how much he (and Phil) internalize the tradition and the history of the sport. It is (or it was) pretty magical to stand in the gallery surrounding the #1 tee box at Augusta as they called out the honorary starting threesome. Lot's of reverence accrued to those three players. I would think that would be hard to turn your back on. I mean, I would take any reverence, any at all, even from my dog. <sigh>

    Yeah that’s my thinking as well... I can see Phil hamming it up on the Champions Tour.

    Maybe “riding off into the sunset” isn’t the best analogy, I just don’t think he’ll be a Champions Tour player. For sure, I think he’ll be an honorary starter whenever he retires, and probably Phil, too.

    I love the tradition of Gary, Arnie, and Jack teeing off. When Arnie passed, it was one of the most moving moments of any Masters to have that empty chair and the green jacket sitting there. Not a dry eye at #1.

    It was windy and dusty that day, even in front of my tv.

    Same here. And even as touching a moment as that was... it was worse for me when Tiger won last year and hugged his family. Fuck. That was... just the best sports thing I think I’ve ever witnessed.

    This one was pretty cool and at the time immensely impactful.

    Right, and precisely what made the 2019 version so cool.
