Just watched the highlights on YouTube, thoughts:
Also, I've searched for a while but can't find a full leaderboard showing all the players anywhere.
- Far too much of Phil shown
- Schwartzel only popped up on the screen at the end (although I did skip a bit so he may have been on earlier)
- As already mentioned, the leaderboard was annoying
- Saw nothing of Westwood and only one clip of Poulter
- My chosen team, the Cleeks, are rubbish

No, he really isn't. And he isn't a scientist, nor indeed a rationalist, either. He is a rather cynical brand.

Thanks, that explains why so little was shown of Westwood and Poulter.
I've only read the first couple of pages but the response Stateside seems to be more positive than I was expecting.

Doesn't surprise me, it was geared at the American market for sure
Americans love making things louder

I had to watch it on silent in the office.
In what way was it loud. The crowds?

I went today as I picked up a free ticket from the code someone posted on the forum. Overall thoughts:
1. I would only go to this event again if it were free and if the crowd was as non-existent as it was today. There was barely anyone there, so it was cool to watch pros play from up close with no people in the way.
2. There wasn't anything spectacular going on. There was a putting contest to enter a draw to go to Miami for the final event of the series, as well as a bunker from which you could attempt to hit a stick for no prize. There were some food trucks and then some canned craft beers for sale (with other drinks). Now I don't particularly care about this element of the event, but I was expecting everything to be a bit more flash and absurd, considering how much they're trying to push the excesses of the new series.
3. I haven't been to a pro golf event recently, but the overall vibe of the day seemed very uncompetitive. It's basically an exhibition match with a bunch of golfers that looked unbothered.
4. I was shocked that there were a few people purchasing team shirts and walking around in them lol
Also, they had this absurdly loud drone following Mickelson's group. When I saw him putting on the third hole, the drone was so loud that I couldn't believe the golfers were okay with it. However, this might be something that happens at PGA events too.

A quick look at Centurion from MrShortGame Golf, whose YouTube channel I quite like anyway, showing some of the course and the club itself.
I played there several years back before the new clubhouse was built and I think I preferred the temporary clubhouse as it was, much more homely. The new clubhouse seems too corporate and the "Whisky Room" is gross!

I haven't checked worldwide but continent of Africa we can get it on telly through the local satellite provider. I assume some other countries will also have done broadcast deals but I totally get the confusion because all the UK based media/blogs etc kept saying its on YT/FB only... but never really qualified that by saying "in the UK"

Not sure how much of a fan/supporter I'll be yet but certainly not anti-liv, enjoyed what I saw so far. The leader board will take a bit of adjusting but was same on motorsport when they started using it, but its still professional golf so I'm gonna watch
On the TV broadcast I had to really listen hard to even hear the 'tone' that played when a players name was highlighted, so that wasn't an issue for me (thankfully)
Very pleased with how many shots we saw, like watching the 1 hour highlights from a 'regular' tour event except it wasn't just putts (which is the kind of sub-standard nonsense we've been fed so far if you don't watch live)
Will be watching to see how their application for awarding world ranking points goes, not sure on what grounds it might be declined given strength of field compared to some of the minor tours where points are already available
Saw a few comments on size of crowds etc but for info... and maybe others saw the report on BBC that said, the attendance was capped at 8k per day
That's obviously gonna look a little sparse on tv given the 16 hole shotgun start but I've no idea why there was a cap for this event, maybe course or local infrastructure
