Players at the Wells Fargo Championship have had mixed reactions to the PGA Tour's announcement earlier this week that it will not punish Vijay Singh for using a banned substance. Singh admitted in Sports Illustrated in January to using deer antler spray, which contains the growth factor IGF-1.

The Tour had warned players not to use deer antler spray because it contains IGF-1, which could trigger a positive test in the Tour's anti-doping program. And, according to the Tour's statement earlier this week, the Tour tried to discipline Singh, but he appealed the sanctions. The World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) then advised the Tour that it had removed deer antler spray from the banned list, exonerating Singh.

Well, not so fast.

According to a report by Golf Channel's Jason Sobel, Tommy Gainey is among those who wonder whether the Tour's failure to discipline Singh sets a bad precedent.

“I’ve got nothing against Vijay –- he’s done a lot; he’s a Hall of Famer – but you just don’t come out and admit that you used a banned substance, then Mr. Finchem and the Tour don’t punish him for it,” Tommy Gainey said Wednesday. "I’ve got a problem with that as a player. Because now it’s on the banned substance list, so there’s no gray area. Either he did or he didn’t. He admitted he did, but he got no punishment. I just think it’s going to open the door for a lot of bad things to happen.”

Even players who refused to come down so hard on the ruling didn't exactly sound thrilled with it.

“They decided it wasn’t banned, so it is what it is,” Gary Woodland said. “There’s nothing we can do about it. It’s good for Vijay and we’ll move on. It’s a tough one. Some guys aren’t happy about it and some don’t care. He won his appeal and we have to move on from there.”

“If they say it’s right, if they say it’s legal, then it’s legal,” Bubba Watson added. “I stand by the PGA Tour. If I had a decision that went that way, I’d have to stand by it. The law is the law. There are laws we have to follow even though we may not like it."

If Bubba Watson needed another memorable shot at Augusta National, he got one Wednesday morning when he aced the par-3 16th during a practice round.

Made hole in one on hole 16 today!! The ball & 9iron. #amazing twitter.com/bubbawatson/st…

Gearing up for his green jacket defense, Watson played the back nine with Scott Piercy. Even though Watson had little to say about the hole-in-one after his round, Piercy described the scene to The Chicago Tribune.

"Arms in the air, big smile, like a little kid in the candy store," said Scott Piercy. "That was really cool. To do it on 16 at the Masters, I'm sure it's something he’ll never forget. And I can tell my kids that Bubba Watson made a hole-in-one here, and I saw it."

Bubba did respond to a question on Twitter about his hole-in-one from WeiUnderPar.com's Stephanie Wei:

Fifteen aces have been recorded on 16 in the 80-year history of the tournament and we saw two last year during Sunday's final round from Adam Scott and Bo Van Pelt. Watson's nine-iron would be the highest lofted club on the list of clubs used, which includes a 2-iron, a spade mashie and a mashie niblick.

Watson played the 16th in 2-under last year with two birdies and two pars. His quest to become the fourth back-to-back champion in Masters history begins Thursday morning as he tees off at 10:34 a.m. with Ian Poulter and Steven Fox.

Bubba Watson kept the golf world's food critics in suspense for an entire year. On Tuesday night, his champions dinner was finally revealed -- and served.

Watson tweeted out a picture, below, of last night's menu and ended the drama. The former Masters champs shared a meal consisting of a Caesar salad, grilled chicken breast served with green beans, mashed potatoes, corn, macaroni and cheese and cornbread with confetti cake with vanilla ice cream for dessert.

Watson's estimated calorie count for the meal checked in at 960 calories per serving, which ranked as the highest count since Mike Weir's meal which consisted of elk and wild boar.

Bubba will have to settle for the signed copy of the menu as his primary keepsake from his 2012 victory since Augusta reclaims the winners' green jackets after one year.

Need to take your mind off your morning show’s falling ratings and rumors that’s Anderson Cooper is interested in your job? Try the hovercraft golf cart.

Earlier this week, we saw Bubba Watson drive a customized hovercraft on a golf course in an Oakley promotional video. On Friday’s "Today Show," we got to see Matt Lauer and Al Roker try it out at Trump National Golf Club in Bedminster, N.J. Here’s the clip:

According to Bloomberg Businessweek, Oakley created the hovercraft golf cart for the video, which they hoped would go viral. (Mission accomplished.)

When Oakley signed Watson to a sponsorship deal at the beginning of this year, says Nathan Strange, the company’s head of global marketing for golf, they immediately set about coming up with ideas for a marketing stunt. “I knew I wanted to do a viral video,” says Strange. “We brainstormed a bunch of ideas, and we ended up with creating the world’s first golf cart hovercraft.” Watson approved. “Bubba was out of his mind,” Strange says. “This is the kind of stuff he loves.” From there, things moved fast. Because of Watson’s tournament schedule, Oakley had only a couple weeks to find a hovercraft maker, build a prototype, and shoot the video. Strange turned to Neoteric Hovercraft in Terre Haute, Ind. The company quickly modified one its base models for duty on the links. And Watson set aside a day in January to cruise around at the Raven club near his home. “He was like a kid getting his first toy,” says Strange.

Oakley certainly got the attention it coveted. Now it has to decide if it really wants to get into the hovercraft business. “To be honest, we haven’t put a whole lot of thought into it,” says Strange. “We specialize in eyewear and apparel and footwear, so it’s not really our core competency.” Still, Oakley may yet partner with Neoteric if the demand is strong enough. Bubba’s hover was built from a model that goes for $16,000 to $20,000. After the video went up, Strange says, Neoteric got a call from a man in Australia who wanted 100.

Bubba Watson had the confidence to pull off an unexpected wedge shot in a sudden-death playoff during his 2012 Masters victory, but in an appearance this week on Piers Morgan Live, Watson didn't sound too confident discussing his chances at a repeat performance at Augusta National with Tiger Woods playing so well.

"Hopefully he gets sick. I don't think anybody knows how to beat him. It's one of those things where we want to go out there and play our best. I'm going to go out and play my best, and hopefully it's good enough to beat him. And hopefully he's not on his best."

Watson also had some fun with Morgan, telling Morgan during the interview that he had snuck into his office and left some notes. Morgan later tweeted a picture of one of Bubba's notes:

Get out of my office @bubbawatson ! twitter.com/piersmorgan/st…

In his three previous trips to Augusta, Watson finished 20th, 32nd and 48th before his breakthrough victory last year. There hasn't been a back-to-back Masters champ since Tiger's successful title defense in 2002, which marked only the third consecutive champ in the 77-year tournament history.

No, it's not an April Fool's Day trick. Bubba Watson's hovercraft golf cart is for real.

According to USA Today's Chris Chase, Watson's hovercraft might be a customized version of a hovercraft manufactured by Neoterich Hovercraft, an Indiana company. No word yet on whether Watson plans to paint the Confederate flag on the roof of his hovercraft to match his other famous vehicle.

Bubba Watson wore a pair of ugly shoes Friday. But don't tell LeBron James that.

Overshadowed by the #dufnering craze that took over Twitter today, Watson tweeted a picture of him rocking a pair of LeBronald Palmers, officially the LeBron 9 Nike Low's.

Hey @kingjames got my "LeBronold Palmers" on today!!! #urwelcome twitter.com/bubbawatson/st…

— bubba watson (@bubbawatson) March 29, 2013

LeBron, of course, approved of his kicks since they are named after him anyways.

"@bubbawatson: Hey @kingjames got my "LeBronold Palmers" on today!!! #urwelcome twitter.com/bubbawatson/st…"(crazy kick swag my friend!! Yes sir)

— LeBron James (@KingJames) March 29, 2013

Bubba thanked him for the shout-out, but King James took it a step further. The Bridgestone Invitational is held in Akron, Ohio, and LeBron wants Bubba to come hang out while he's in the neighborhood.

@bubbawatson yes sir. And let me know when u go play in Akron. U can chill at my crib. Just don't be hitting golf balls in the house. Lol!!

— LeBron James (@KingJames) March 29, 2013

That's nice of LeBron. But no one stops Bubba from hitting balls in the house.

Tiger Woods is once again the favorite to win the Masters.

After his win at Doral last weekend, Tiger's odds to win his fifth green jacket currently stand at 4-to-1, according to golfodds.com.

The last time the betting favorite actually won the Masters? Tiger Woods in 2005 as a 5-to-1 favorite.

Last year, Bubba Watson won his first major at Augusta National as a 40-to-1 favorite. The defending champion sits at 30-to-1 odds to win with one month left until the tournament.

DORAL, Fla. -- It's old news that Bubba Watson bought a house at Orlando's gated Isleworth community and was remodeling it with hopes of moving in this spring. What he didn't say is it was Tiger Woods's house.

"It's true," Watson said Friday after shooting a second-round 69 at the WGC-Cadillac Championship to move into the top 10 on the leaderboard. "We closed last summer and we're moving in next Thursday or Friday."

Angie Watson is back in Scottsdale with Caleb, the couple's adopted son, and Angie's parents. They're working to pack up the old house, as Orlando will now be the Watsons' primary residence.

"I looked at probably 50 houses before I looked at Tiger's," Bubba Watson said. "A lot of the houses there are old, and we ended up changing everything. We probably saved maybe five percent of it. We built it all around Caleb. There are like three playrooms."

In a lengthy interview in the April issue of Golf Magazine, Watson said he's always lived in gated communities, and a 2012 incident in which the Masters champion and his wife were chased through traffic on their way home only reminded him why. 

"We’ve seen things in the news—our world is crazy," Watson said, "and it’s nice to have that piece of mind when we take walks or go outside."

He will join several Orlando-based Tour pros, including Graeme McDowell, Ian Poulter and Justin Rose.

"The one I’ve talked to the most is Charles Howell," Watson said. "He has two kids and talked about how family-oriented Isleworth is. They got programs for kids, tennis camps, golf camps, family night every Wednesday night for dinner. They were all things we wanted to be involved in, and the golf course is really good, too, for me to practice."

As for playing in the Tavistock Cup, he said: "If I make the team—I’ve got to qualify. Hopefully winning the Masters will help me get in."

Bubba Watson has never been one to sweat equipment changes. So it's not surprising that he isn't concerned about a certain peer who has struggled of late after a notable gear switch.

"I think Rory is going to be No. 1 for a while," Waston said of Rory McIlroy during a Wednesday teleconference hyping Watson's upcoming Masters title defense

"Think about it, we change equipment every year," he said. "We have a new driver come out from Ping, you have a new 3-wood, you have new irons, you have a new golf ball. It might be the same company but it's all new. You've got new golf shoes coming out, so they feel different on your feet. You've got all these new things coming out, so I don't see [switching] as that big of a change."

But there is one thing that does bother Bubba: "I think the biggest change in changing a product would be the logo... I'm a feel player. When something is changed like that, I know it."

Watson added that a couple poor results here and there isn't cause for hitting the panic button, either -- especially if one of those results comes in match play.  

"There's nobody in the history of the game that's been 100 percent on making cuts, so Rory missed the first cut... That's why I think match play is such a goofy tournament anyway. [Losing in] the first round [as McIlroy did last week], I don't see that shows us anything. And a missed cut is a missed cut; everybody going to do it. No matter how many times you try, you can't make every cut."

McIlroy will defend his title at the Honda Classic starting Thursday, a tournament he won last year playing clubs with noticeably different logos.

Watson, meanwhile, won't be there with him. He's got a birthday party to host on Saturday. His son Caleb just turned one.
