2016 MASTERS TOURNAMENT

Augusta National Golf Club the host of golf's most iconic tournament on the PGA Tour, will be happening this year from April 07-10, 2016. I was looking at some of the prices to get into the tournament, and this is what I found. For the Executive Club Hospitality it can run $1293.75 per guest on Thursday, $1251.25 on Friday, $1,336.25 on Saturday and $1,421.25 on the final round Sunday. 


Those prices aren't expensive for the people with the money, it's like me giving a homeless guy .25 cents to help him out. Would I pay that much to watch a tournament? Probably not, even if I had that kind of money. In fact watching golf on t.v. is easier, I'd save that money and buy something else. But for me, the only time I'm really interested in watching golf, is watching any of the four majors. Not a LPGA fan, but watching the men play at that high level is like watching the Final Four, the Super Bowl, or the NBA Finals.

Last year's winner Jordan Spieth set a milestone for himself by beating Phil Mickelson and Justin Rose by four shots. Still a young man on tour, can Jordan (Green Jordan) win it again this year? With March Madness around the corner which is one of my favorite sports tournament, and right after that it's the Masters, t.v. sports is good, something to look forward too. I love the Super Bowl, but I can do away with all that hype and marketing crap. At least the Final Four and the Masters is a little bit less in your face. Just a thought on the Masters today as I drink my coffee.
