CBS will still air it. It's prestigous for their sports department, and their usual Saturday afternoon fare of A-Team reruns doesn't exactly pull in major bucks anyway.

What they will do more than likely is have sponsor logos at the top of the leader boards on screen and score or hole shots. Like Tiger Woods -1 with a Ryder symbol ontop of it.

The network that carries the Masters will do it for the same reason that they carry Presidential speeches. The public demands it.
Also, let me add my words of respect for the leadership of Agusta Country Club.
