Breezed through the comments in this thread but I'm not sure many of you understand what this is about. The PGAT is not just cutting checks to players to buy their loyalty. This is an equity grant program with vesting. PGAT Enterprises is giving the players ownership interest by issuing...
For Elevated Events you have to make "the cut' just to get into the tournament. I'm fine with the setup but would like to see them expand the invite list and have an actual cut inside the tournament. That could be a future tweak. I also understand from the corporate sponsor side that if...
I'm fine with this. Love this tournament and this course, the plaid jacket, the cannon shot. It's got a much more laid back vibe to it after a week at Augusta. Easy drive from Augusta so travel is minimal. It's a tournament and course that should get elevated status. Gets all the top PGAT...
Ok, maybe I cannot read a chart but from what I see it says, 2022 Scottie Scheffler, 5.8 rating, 10.17 million viewers and 2021 Hideki Matsuyama, 5.5 rating, 9.54 million viewers. How is that a 20% drop? Seems to calculate out to a 6.6% increase.
Either way, I watched over 4 days on various...
ANGC reconfigured the 13th tee box to combat the distance and bring that second shot decision over Rae's Creek back into play. When the ball is rolled back in a few years how will that hole play then? Was the reconfiguration even necessary? Do they maybe know the rollback really won't be as...
If they keep winning, they won't, I suppose. But majors happen 4 weekends out of 52 in a year. Their presence is pretty scarce only being around 4 out of 52, that is by definition fading out of the public eye. Unless the public is showing up in droves to watch LIV, and there is little...
I like watching the PGAT. The Tour is deep with talented golfers and new blood up and coming every year. The Tour does a good job of breeding the next popular pro golfers IMO. I say that because I am watching Scottie Scheffler, current #1 in the world at the WM. Scottie just came on to the...
I am trying to piece together all that I have read thus far, so let's see if I have this right: the Player Advisory Board with Tiger, Cantlay , Spieth, etc. has taken control and has final say on what the PGAT is going to do. The players have taken control back from Jay, basically. They are...
Just got done evaluating Pee Wee hockey tryouts last weekend. It's simple, you don't want to get cut, don't be on the bubble.
Every single one of those guys had the opportunity to earn their way on the team through their play and finishing in the top 6. They didn't. Can't then be upset...
