The Augusta Chronicle reports today that Augusta National is not seeking any additional security resources for the Masters in light of Tiger Woods' return.  It seems reasonable considering that patrons of the tournament caution to be on your best behavior because the Masters security team is the best in the biz.

But an incident involving Tiger Woods at last year's Masters may leave observers wondering what could be possible in Tiger's comeback bid.

Remember last year when that guy from Utah raced by Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson to jump into a bunker on 17?  That guy knew he was going to be banned from the course for life, and potentially even lose his job for causing such embarrassment.

When asked why, what did he say to Brad Rock of the Desert News?

"I don't care. I'd never go back again, regardless."  He "just wanted to get a laugh from friends and family and maybe make some headlines."

And that guy wasn't being paid like Fan Man, those people who marker themselves up with Goldenpalace.com, or work for a papparazzi outlet looking for the shot of a lifetime.  Provided that CBS Sports President Sean McManus & PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem predict enormous ratings for the Masters, the likelihood that some wacko will fork over the $2,000 for tickets on eBay (or wherever) for an opportunity at an easy 15 minutes of fame seems plausible - if not likely.

I'm not saying that the Masters needs to hire snipers to prevent someone from doing physical harm to any participant.  But someone with nothing to lose may well be happy to involve themselves in what is likely a benign trick that could embarrass the club or Tiger on international television.

Don't get me wrong - it won't be me doing it, but have you ever seen someone be Greenman?  It's surprisingly easy to slip on that costume.
