Augusta Masters main draw sees no Jack Nicklaus or Arnold Palmer for the first time in over 50 years. The tournament will be off a bit of the usual sheen because of this despite them competing in the par-three contest which precedes the actual tournament. It is always a great site to see Nicklaus and Palmer compete at Augusta even though they do not make the cut for the last two days.

The crowd cheering, the old men still showing sparks of brilliance - has been a pleasure to watch.

Update: Cam Cole from National Post has written on his memories of Jack Nicklaus at Augusta in a piece titled One for the Ages which is quite a good read.
