It Is Excruciating To Try And Follow Tiger Woods At The Masters Right Now
He teed off at 10:45 a.m., but TV coverage doesn't start until 3 p.m.
In addition, he isn't in one of the "featured groups" that gets live-streamed in its entirety online.
So if you're a fan of Tiger Woods more than you are a fan of golf in general, today is rough.
The only way to keep track of how he's doing is by watching a tiny live scoreboard on Masters.com, which is an awful experience.
This GIF shows what it was like to watch Tiger par hole No. 2. The hole number (that number under "thru") changes from 1 to 2, and that's it.
Almost comically frustrating (more below):
As we wrote yesterday, it's ridiculous that there's no way to watch Tiger play at the Masters. This is a deliberate move by the tournament's organizers. It sends the message that no individual player is bigger than the Masters.
There are only a handful of must-watch golf rounds in a year, and this is one of them. In 2013, there's no way we shouldn't be able to watch the world's best player compete in the world's best tournament.
But that's what we're dealing with today.
One way to get a better feel for how Tiger is doing is by following @GCTigerTracker on Twitter, but even that isn't much better than the scoreboard.
