Monty never expressed any hint of a problem with the system until his world ranking fell so far that he wasn't an automatic entry anymore!

Yes the Masters has become quite the international mix over the years and I think that this has contributed to its ever growing popularity throughout the world. Well that and the unbelievable scenery. The ANGC does what it wants and answers to no one!

Yet, it remains finely tuned to what the global Market requires, and the forces it exerts, and reacts to preserve its status within that Market place.

The Masters is only second to The Open Championship in understanding its global appeal. The USGA has never been able to fully extend its Open to a global audience. If AUgusta National opened up a few tickets to global purchase they would probably exceed R&A in reaching out to a truly global audience.

As a non-American I always find it kind of funny when the Major Leauge winner, Super Bowl winner or NBA winner is pronounced World Champion. What teams from other countries did they beat?
