re: New PGA Tour - 15 to 18 events

I don't understand, why do they want to play less golf?

what am I missing?


The feeling is that less is more. The NFL has 18 week regular season and everyone looks forward to it and are ready to watch. Before coming to the PGA, Brian Rolapp was responsible for the NFL's media businesses including digital media, NFL Network, advertising sales, NFL sponsorships, NFL media assets, television contracts, and digital media rights.

The thought is that less events with all the biggest names on the PGA will drive better ratings for those events. Rolapp is trying the NFL model with the PGA.

But the PGA will almost have to force the top tier players to play all those events.

I think that most hardcore PGA fans do not want less. They want to see a tournament almost every week and they want at least a few of the top tier players in each tournament. You won't get that with the new system.

Have you ever watching Golf Sidekick on youtube?

Golf Sidekick Break 80 Stress Free

He is goofy, but his strategy on the course is something to study.

He has lots of other good videos.

Morikawa isn't a Zurich Ambassador anymore, so he won't be back.

I don't think so. I think the lower bowl seats are fixed after the recent renovations.

Edit. I missed the reply from Owl.
I went Saturday with the family. We had fun, but all agreed that we would not go again.

They do a great job keeping everyone entertained. There is constant action and music. We were behind home plate in the lower bowl near the top and it was loud. Really loud at times. They may have been because we were under the overhang of the second deck and the sounds was trapped there. By the end of the game, we were ready to leave.

Playing in an NFL Fantasy league affected how I watched NFL games. I can't imagine what it would be like if there was money on the line.

m57,

Add another signature event after the Cadillac.
4 really big tournaments with the Zurich sandwiched in between them.

Masters
RBC (Sig event)
Zurich
Cadillac (Sig Event)
Truist (Signature Event)
I love to play and watch golf. If the PGA has an event on during the weekend, I will watch some of it. It will be great to get the biggest stars together more often.

But it sounds like the PGA will have Signature events for the top tier and then a "minor league" for PGA card holders who are not in the top tier.

The "minor league" events will still need sponsors and those sponsors will not want to pay as much as before. The quality of the field and the viewership is going to be much less. And the attendance at these minor league events will be down as well.

I don't know what the answer is, but there are going to be several cities that have hosted PGA events for many years that will lose their tournament. New Orleans will probably be one of them.
NASCAR reached its peak in popularity the mid 2000s. Then it began to chase money and bigger venues and alienated it's fan base.

I hope that the PGA doesn't do the same.

Colt is pretty good at what he does.

But his voice can be grating and talks so fast that sometimes you wonder what he said.

My wife and I enjoyed it until the last 20 minutes of the last episode.

We should have stopped watching then and just assumed that was the ending. :lol:

Finished season 1 and a few episodes into season 2.

Is every character in the series just an awful person?
Except for maybe Charles.

The show is based on the British series Doc Martin.

The 1st episode was OK. Wife and I enjoyed it.
I'm not sure how long they can keep up the "doctor faints at the site of blood"storyline.

It always gripes me when people in a crowd (concert, event, etc.) stop outside of a door or on walk way to talk and block everyone from getting past them.

Move to the side if you want to talk, but you are holding up everyone!

There is a newer house near us.
2100 square feet and about 6 years old on a 1/3 acre lot.

The couple has young children.

They also have a pool, a boat, a travel trailer and golf cart in the driveway/yard. They extended the driveway around the garage to help park all this.

That garage is so full of stuff that they cannot pull in their big F150 or the huge SUV.

It is impressive to drive by and see all the stuff.

You have to give your budget to determine this.
