They also funded several scholarships in Lee Elder’s name for golf at Paine College, a historically Black college in Augusta. One of the scholarships was for a woman. There was no woman’s golf at the school so Augusta offered to fund the program.

Correct. Though I would be curious how and what it would look like if the Masters was just like what's up folks? We're just going digital this year. Nothing on TV. Find us on Masters.com, how bout dat?

That was the coolest announcement back in November. "Paine College doesn't have a Women's golf program. Until today. We're funding the entire thing." ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!? They literally just said blank check folks, we got it. Shoot your shot, it's on us. Unfreakinreal.

We just know however they choose to broadcast, Gary McCord will not be involved

They're pandering plain and simple. It is the first (noticeable) chink in the armor. They will continue to weaken to the mob demands. Hootie Johnson would be ashamed.
To be honest, that is how I've consumed the Masters the past couple years. Their digital production is second to none.Correct.

ANGG or bust for me. Move it and I’d find something else to do with my weekend

It would not be the Masters if it was moved to another course. And I wouldn't watch it. I'd be curious if any professional golfers would play if it was moved?

Civil Rights Group Calls to Relocate Masters after GA Voting Bill
The National Black Justice Coalition has urged The Masters to move the tournament out of Georgia in protest of a controversial voting bill.www.si.com
It is absolutely appalling what is happening to Western civilization. Death by a thousand cuts...

Moving the Masters out of Georgia would be the same as moving the Indianapolis 500 out of Indiana, I'd vote no.
Follow-up question: Would it still be "The Masters" if it was renamed to something other than "The Masters?" I mean, if we're entertaining the question of "Would a tournament being moved from a club's venue still be that club's tournament?" then why not?

To state the obvious, "The Masters" is an invitational hosted by Augusta National. It does not have the status of being a "Major" by virtue of the PGA Tour, but due to its history. Anyone who thinks that it could be moved and still be The Masters has been deluded in to thinking that it is just another arm of "Corporate America" like MLB, NBA or the NFL.
Furthermore, the members not only have "F-You money", as someone noted previously, but have demonstrated in the recent past that they will run it on their own (i.e. no sponsors) and indicated that they might not run it at all if it became too much of a hassle. The members might actually like getting their course back for March and April.

It wouldn't be The Masters anywhere else, because ANGC would never allow the use of the name or the green jacket anywhere else. If the venue was moved and the tournament renamed, it would just be another tournament, with none of the Masters history or tradition.Follow-up question: Would it still be "The Masters" if it was renamed to something other than "The Masters?"

it would be the equivalent of whatever the hell they run opposite The Open Championship
The Masters is AN. That said, if any of this gains ridiculous traction, I'm forever done with PGA golf.
I like tradition in sport, like wearing white at Wimbledon. There are so many alternatives where people can do what they like but you can't beat a traditional annual event in sport.
PGA Tour keeping Tour Championship in Georgia
The PGA Tour said it would not move the Tour Championship out of Georgia but said this "should not be construed as indifference to the current conversation around voting rights."
Too bad they couldn't have included a couple "off the record" quotes from the board members at ANGC. I'd love to hear their thoughts about the idea.PGA Tour keeping Tour Championship in Georgia

That article's referring to the PGA Tour Championship, not the Masters Tournament.Too bad they couldn't have included a couple "off the record" quotes from the board members at ANGC. I'd love to hear their thoughts about the idea.
I obviously haven't had enough coffee yet, haha. I had the Masters on my mind and completely misread that.
I'd still like to hear ANGC's unfiltered inside thoughts about moving the Masters, though!
