Well, the Masters site is still on 2009, but there's a great interview with Angel if you missed it last year. And there's a maddening putting game where you can see how you'd do on the greens of Amen Corner. Hope they update the site soon.
If Tiger doesn't play in the Masters, is it worth watching? I don't think he'll be back until next year after his statement today. It's still a pretty penny to travel there, despite the excitement that is lost when Tiger is absent.
I think that you'll see Stewart Cink, Y.E. Yang, Jeff Ogilvy and Kenny Perry in contention for the Green Jacket. No way that Woods is back yet, not after what he said today.....

Just checked and the site has not been updated to 2010. There are still some things you can still do on the 2009 site: take a tour of the course, hole by hole; play a putting game over the greens at "Amen Corner;" and review the list of invitees for 2010.
Oh, hooray. Tiger might play in the Masters. Life as we know it will be better in every way, world hunger will end, there will be peace in the Middle East, and the Cubs will win the World Series. Let the celebrations and the media circus commence!
Has anyone in the PGA realized that putting all their star power eggs in one basket is not a good thing? If Tiger plays the Masters and wins, it'll be all about Tiger. If Tiger plays the Masters and loses, it'll be all about Tiger. If Tiger doesn't play at the Masters, it'll still be all about Tiger. This is not good for the health of the sport, not at all.
One last thing... if Tiger plays and wins, it's going to seriously erode the value of the Masters as a major. I know he's the best player on the planet, and maybe the best ever... but if he wins the Masters after being away from the game for four months, and among all the distractions he'll be facing? I think that to many, that would say less about how good a golfer he is, and more about how the Masters course is set up to favor his game, or worse, that the Masters is no longer the serious challenge it used to be.
If Tiger cares about the sport more than himself, he should skip the Masters this year. Making it the first or maybe second round of his comeback would be purely self serving.
