Palmer to Take Ceremonial Swing at the Masters

I might be a little bias, but it's hard to argue, CBS knows sports. Florida won the Men's National Championship here on 23-WIFR last night. Now in less than 24-hours, the best golfers in the world will tee it up at the Masters, here on cbs.
There is such history at Augusta. Arnold Palmer, the four-time champ has agreed to take a ceremonial first swing to begin the tournament on Thursday. Palmer becomes the seventh honorary starter just three years after he played in the Masters for the 50th and final time, and we all know what Tiger is capable of doing. Iit was 10-years ago that Woods recieved his first green jacket from Nick Faldo.
