It would seem to me that the playing conditions, particularly on the greens, would be much more difficult for the final group in a tournament. I would guess that Tiger's scoring average would be several shots lower if he were able to play as the first group out on the course of the day before the greens have hardened up and been trampled all over.
I came to this conclusion today playing before dark and seeing in the low angle of the sun how bumpy one green in particular was after a day of golfers walking on it.
But then again if the leaders played first, nobody would watch the rest of the tournament.
