Tiger Woods is playing. How many cameras can be pointed at him? It started Monday with his press conference. Thursday, he and the rest of the field begin the Masters.
ESPN has afternoon coverage Thursday and Friday, starting at 4 p.m. How convenient that Tiger's playing in the next-to-last group Thursday, so he'll be playing live most of the program.
