The Masters, Jordan Spieth, Tiger Woods, Golf's New Four Leaders,  Detroit Tigers, Current Sports TV Preview, Gary Blanchard, and Throwback Thursday.

Today marks the inception of the 2016 Masters. Current Sports has the full breakdown of the Masters leader-board with predictions from Al and Current Sports engineer Isaac Constans on who will conquer that table when the dust settles. The two also debate golf's current state, eight years removed from the Tiger Woods scandal and with four up-and-coming stars leading the charge. Also, heads turn to the other Tigers, as a 2-0 start to the season is marred by bullpen problems, yet again. Can they keep winning? And just to cool the anticipation for tonight's Current Sports TV, Al offers a preview of his sit-down with Michigan State chemistry professor Gary Blanchard, who is working on in-helmet technology to track hits. Finally on the show, it's the usual 'Throwback Thursday,' giving you sports knowledge from the past.
