Woods is class, rolling back the years and rolling in the putts like he used to.

I’m starting to wish that I had a bit of the 66/1 Tiger double ( with Tiger Roll in the national).

They said there would be less adverts. There is, we just have to stare at the leader board instead.
Not a huge amount Sky can do about that. They are given the feed by us broadcasters and when they have a break sky have no pics to show. The BBC will have the same issue tonight and tomorrow now they start to show it.

Panning out to be a good week for some bug players. I've got Day at 28/1, Koepka at 23/1 and here I am hoping Tiger does them both.

I think its shaping up to potentially be one of the best Masters finishes in history. Back 9 Sunday could be tremendous viewing. Hopefully its still this tightly bunched come the end of play tonight.

That would be brilliant. Everyone wants the majors to be as open as possible

Much better for the viewer

Good second days play, I'm enjoying following the feature groups as you get to 'follow' and see a lot more of the in between stuff that they'd usually cut away from. And the first two days is the right time to do this

ZJ was funny with his practice swing connecting with the ball, the guy does the practice swing so close that he doesn't really move his feet for the actual shot so it's surprising it doesn't happen more often

Then again its not a "proper" Major because there is a limited field! ;)

Wish every Major was this good.

Without trying to open that debate again.. for me its my favorite major. Im a real fan of same course events (like this and the players) love the course itself.. and also it normally signals the start of the proper season.. don't get me wrong ive played all winter but means play more often and with nicer weather (hopefully)

Everyone has their own preferences, but damned if that isnt my favourite course to view golf on. So much potential drama from the course from the greens to risk / reward par 5's.

I was amazed last night to hear on 15th hole, those players laying up and going for in 3 shots make more bogeys than birdies!

I'm definitely not a Tiger fan but he certainly makes it exciting when he is in the mix. I'll be quite happy if he finishes 2nd or 3rd behind a European winner :)

After the winter months here it’s just amazing to see the most picturesque course on display

I think it's terribly unfair bashing Sky about their coverage, there is nothing they can do. In regards the tournament, like others, I really hope it stays tight through tonight. Just can't see Tiger doing it though, as much as I'd love to though I would like to see him paired with Brooks just to see how BK copes playing with him on the final day of a major while contending.

For me, Molinari has to my pick from now and best of all for him, still no one will take notice of him on the board.

Purchased a weeks Now TV ticket as we have a Grand Prix on this week-end too.
Been dipping in and out of the Masters coverage.
I just cannot believe how gash Sky is.
Absolute garbage waste of time fillers and inane comments......

At the mercy of the host broadcaster unfortunately, with regards to the inane comments, that's what happens when you employ Paul Mcginley

Your right. It’s not sky’s fault at all. They have no control over their feed

There was a part where they had to say we assume that Putt was for par but will confirm

Can’t know what your not shown!

Think they do cracking work. I’ll be watching on bbc tonight personally just because saves annoying adverts ..

Watched the highlights this morning and Masters breakfast and some stunning rounds from Day , Louis and Molinari to get them to the top of the leaderboard- it’s a shame that most of the headlines are all about one other golfer who is below them but in some ways that may help them just stay under the radar a little. Hopefully the winner comes from Louis , Molinari , Rahm or Poults. Also what a debut from Harding - he looks a player and Scott seems to be putting a lot better recently.

It’s certainly a leaderboard with quality.
