It has the weakest field of all the Majors, needs to change.
How would you improve the Masters?

Absolutely nothing. Leave completely as it is.

Get rid of the lifetime tickets, or at the least faze them out as the current owners of them stop going.

Many former champions don't take up the invitation. I'm certain Sandy Lyle doesn't take up his invitation with any hope he'll win, but for several other, quite reasonable imo, reasons.

And you've got the names wrong too!
I agree about the Par 3 tournament. Essential, fun, part of The Masters (delib abbrev'd) imo.

I am not quite sure what peoples problem is with the par3 tournament, it doesn't impinge on the main event. If you don't want to watch it don't. I probably have seen less of the Masters than most as I am usually away skiing that week as traditionally it has been in the Easter school holidays. Generally though it has traditionally been near the start of the golfing season when courses get less wet and with a finish time that suits UK TV more than the West Coast events I have been entertained by it when free to watch it.

Ah yes. My mistake on The Open. The Masters is just called Masters Tournament so doesn’t need a T

Not sure I’d want to change anything, it is what it is because of the all the traditions and cringey interviews in the cabin lol.
Have to say, it’s my favourite major of the year because of all of the above ?

It's number 4 or 5 in my view, if you want to throw in the Players Championship which is the strongest event of the year.

Part of the 'magic' is that it's a great as a Season Starter' event. There are certainly some cringeworthy parts to it though!
I used to think the final hole was a tad dull/disappointing. But Bubba changed that!

I don’t want to get into a “this event is better than that” argument but I have Masters at 1 and The Open at 4, I rank the Players above The Open as well along with a few other PGA events.

Yeah I guess so, when the Masters is on it means the golf season has properly started ?

Each to their own, but The Open ranks higher - for me - until the Presentation - though the Masters presentation(s) is/are pretty cringeworthy too.

Very interesting view in regards The Open - below the players ?
Ok to ask why rate The Open so lowly ?

I’m not a links fan so maybe that has a lot to do with it, I also find the tv coverage very twee when on our shores which for me is a turn off.

Fair enough - there are certainly plenty who prefer watching golf on a parkland etc and it’s easy to see why , it’s better from a viewing perspective at times

It got mentioned earlier in the thread I think, I’d love for tv companies to be able to really show all the contours and slopes on their tv coverage, I’m not sure if it’s technically possible though.
