Probably because Westwood is near the lead right now?? I have to think they'll bring Tiger on the featured group once Westwood, et al. are through.

I'm enjoying the fact that the Masters Extra channel has audio but no commentary...a nice change of pace.

Edit: and 20 minutes in here comes Jim Nantz

Nice...I remember Payne Stewart at Augusta one year playing with a necktie, it looked killer.

16-year-old Matteo Manassero becomes the youngest ever to play at The Masters, and was so nervous that he birdied the first hole en route to a 71.

WOW!!! Did you just see that second shot on the 9th hole by Tiger???

Holy cow, it was probably a 40 yard hook from behind a tree on the left to the back left pin position. And he sinks the 15 footer for a birdie. INCREDIBLE!!!

Yeah, that shot was amazing. the fact that he was able to get it to stop on the green after hitting a hook with the wind is simply beyond me. I dont think anyone else on tour could hit that shot under that pressure. And this came after hitting a 245 yard three iron into the same wind. Amazing

This has been going on for years.  Despite a bunch of old dudes in Green Jackets running the place the Masters has always been a leader in technology.  I remember a DVD/CD they produced before the internet and the video and flyovers were something to watch over and over.

Paul (and Richard Choi):

I agree, and it's one of the most confounding things about the Masters and the Augusta National Club, which seems so staid and old-fashioned and quite insular. Yet a key feature of their outreach to the golfing public -- the tourney website -- has been for a long time leagues beyond any of the other majors.

What gives? Maybe a bunch of guys successful enough to warrant a membership there know what they are doing when it comes to the Web. Who knew?
