Is Tiger sending a message to Augusta National Golf Club?

Category: Golf Current Events

I read recently on Tiger Woods golf site (www.tigerwoods.com) the following quote "The course was very difficult, I didn't hear as many roars as I usually hear". He wasn't making excuses, he talked about why he didn't win and wasn't because of the course. But he also said "I hear the club might be making some changes next year to give us a break". Is Tiger sending a message and will Augusta National respond?
