Day 11: The Race for the Green Jacket Begins!

The 2013 Masters Golf Tournament starts today. Come on, even you golf haters can't resist the pomp and circumstance and the pretty flowers of Augusta National. It won't take long for me to become obsessed with the leaderboard this morning, even before everyone has teed off.

This year promises to be exciting with the resurgence of Tiger Woods and his recent reclamation of the #1 spot in the standings. Even if you hate him, you have to admit he makes the field that much more exciting. And if he's in the final pairing on Sunday afternoon, anything can happen.

Tiger has been stuck on 14 major wins since 2008 and hasn't donned the Green Jacket since 2005. I'm guessing he means business this year. At one time, most thought Tiger would shatter Jack Nicklaus' record of 18 major wins but he's been shutout for the last six years. Now, their records are even. At 37, Woods has 14 wins in 60 majors. At the same age, Nicklaus had 14 wins in 60 majors.

So who will it be? Click here for the pairings and tee times for Round 1 and make your picks!
