The biggest change to this year's Masters tournament will benefit those unable or unwilling to purchase a ticket.
For the first time, a golf event will be broadcast in 3-D.
Special cameras will be placed on the course's famous back nine, and two hours of live 3-D coverage will be available each day beginning during Wednesday’s Par 3 Contest and continuing through the four tournament rounds.
But don't expect to sit down in front of your old TV and expect to see a golf ball flying at your face. You have to have a TV capable of broadcasting in 3-D, or a computer with similar technology, to enjoy the experience.
The course
Two significant changes to the course occurred:
On No. 2, nicknamed Pink Dogwood, the green was rebuilt and the front widened by 8 feet on this par-5, 575-yard hole.
On No. 15, nicknamed Firethorn, the green was rebuilt on the par-5, 530-yard hole.
Parking
One change was made for patrons at the event: Parking in the Berckmans Road lot has been expanded from 7,000 spots to 8,200.
