- At 1994 Masters, his last, McCord's on-air comments included 'bikini wax' and 'body bags'
- McCord only wonders why fellow CBS analyst David Feherty stays on at Masters despite his edginess
CBS golf analyst Gary McCord can't wait for Sunday's final round of the Masters: "I can't get enough of it."
MORE MASTERS: Tiger happy with first round
But like other fans of the golfing year's first major, McCord will be watching it on TV -- not from the grounds of Augusta National -- when he joins his buddies in Arizona.
DAY 1: Sergio Garcia has share of lead
McCord has been nowhere near the Masters course for nearly two decades, not since he offered up a couple of on-air lines that likely went over pretty well across America but not in the big house at Augusta National.
But McCord, who regularly works CBS' other top events, isn't bitter about being dropped from coverage of the Masters. He says he doesn't even want back in.
"I think Augusta thinks I'm dead," McCord tells USA TODAY Sports. "And CBS thinks I'm partially dead. I don't think they want to deal with it and I don't blame them. I'd do the same thing."
LINDSEY VONN: Follows Tiger at Augusta
In case you missed his offending remarks at the 1994 Masters, they went like this: Augusta's 17th green was so fast it could have been "bikini-waxed, while things were even worse for players whose approach shots went behind that green -- then they'd be stuck out with the "body bags."
Sacre bleu!
And, no, he doesn't think he'll ever be invited back to be part of CBS' Masters coverage. He says he wouldn't even invite himself back and has no regrets: "There's no going back in time. That's who I am. That's what I did. (Augusta and CBS) run a good show. I wouldn't have me, either. It's just common sense."
CBS was not available to comment on whether the idea has been discussed.
