Welcome to The List,
Yesterday, the “CMT Music Awards” introduced a new “socially-voted category.” Before I tell you what it is, you should know that you can only vote by swiping up on CMT’s Instagram Story through this Saturday. It’s called the Trending Comeback Song of the Year, and it “honors iconic stars and their hits that stood the test of time but also recently found new popularity.” They’re basically asking you to make an older song popular again.

“Freight Train”, Alan Jackson
“Neon Moon”, Brooks & Dunn
“9 to 5”, Dolly Parton
“I’m a Survivor”, Reba McEntire
“Suds in the Bucket”, Sara Evans

Barring a setback between now and Thursday, Tiger Woods says he’ll play in this week’s Masters tournament. The golf legend just made the announcement at a news conference at Augusta, saying “as of right now” he has plans to tee it up when the tourney begins on Thursday. It’s not so much about Tiger HITTING the ball, it’s the walk around the course, they don’t allow golf carts on the greens and it may look beautiful in video and pictures but Augusta is VERY hilly. Good luck to Tiger we hope he does well if not win the whole thing.
