I do not understand where the Masters is going to get the money to pay CBS. CBS buys the rights to televise the masters and then sells the advertising to sponsors. So the sponsors ultimately pays for everything. Plus the Masters also pays out prize money to the competitors. Admission fees will not cover the costs, I am sure. I must be missing something. These people are obviously smarter than me.

Johnson said, "We are sorry, but not surprised, to see those corporations drawn into this matter, but contunue to insist that our private club should not be 'managed' by an outside group. . . There may come a day when women will be invited to join our club, but that decision must be ours. We also believe that the Masters and the club are different, and that one should not affect the other."

Speaking as a woman, I give a big thumbs up to the Augusta National Golf Club for telling the NCWO to go to hell. And I can't STAND golf. I have to wonder though: Just how big of a threat was this women's organization to begin with? I'd never even heard of them until they started hounding Tiger Woods.
