So, we've had a decent number of results in so far. The complete results are:

1. Masters (8.8)
2. Open (8.4)
3. Ryder Cup (8.3)
4. US Open (7.2)
5. USPGA (6.7)
6. WGC / Sig Event (5.0)
7. DPWT (3.0)
8. PGAT (2.7)
9. LIV (2.0)

Just in case a couple of results might have skewed things (JamesR had 10 for everything except LIV, which was 0, while Barking Mad gave 0 for everything), the results would be:

1. Masters (9.5)
2=. Open (9.0)
2=. Ryder Cup (9.0)
4. US Open (7.6)
5. USPGA (7.0)
6. WGC / Sig Event (5.0)
7. DPWT (2.6)
8=. PGAT (2.3)
8=. LIV (2.3)

The Ryder Cup would have been top of both lists, had it not been for our resident Aussie giving is a 2 :)

Our resident’s Aussie’s 2 for the Ryder Cup is an outlier too. Not wishing to sound dismissive, I’d exclude his 2 too.

Well, I could. But I figured he was genuinely not interested in Ryder Cup, so felt it was fair to include his score. All about the audience. I reckon had I posted this in an American forum, The US Open and PGA Tour would have done much better, and DP World Tour not so much.

I'd have loved to create a separate Thread as a poll, but I don't think the Poll options allow you to give scores. They just allow you to tick one or more Poll Options.

OFFISHAL GOLF MONTHLY LIV FANTASY GOLF LEAGUE 😂

Maybe some of the lads that have zero excitement for LIV according to Swango's poll, but have racked up thousands of posts on this thread - might want to have a go.

I'll put up an end of season prize of some sort for the winner.

I'm in.

Thought of a poll type question. If you could rate your excitement levels, out of 10, before a golf tournament, what would you give for the following (I'll give my answer in brackets)

1. Major (9, maybe 8.5 for USPGA and US Open)
2. Ryder Cup (10)
3. WGC (7.5-8)
4. Regular PGA Event (0-3)
5. Regular DP World Tour Event (0-1)
6. LIV (0)
7. TOUR Championship (6-7)

1. Major (10 for The Open, 9 for the Masters, 7 for the other two)
2. Ryder Cup (10)
3. WGC (2)
4. Regular PGA Event (2)
5. Regular DP World Tour Event (2)
6. LIV (2)
7. TOUR Championship (2)

Rick Shiels 10 shot challenge - 8
Rick Shiels Break 75 - 7
DPWT 'fun' YouTube videos - 8

So most people, even those on a golf discussion forum, only really care about Majors and RC

Seems that way.

Does anyone know how broadcasters pay for the rights to golf? I assume there are separate packages:

1. All PGAT Events
2. All DP World Tour events
3. Ryder Cup
4. Solheim Cup
5. Each Major Separately
6. LIV

Is the above correct? And, if so, I know that no-one has picked up LIV yet, but does anyone know how much (Sky) pay for each for UK rights?

Ive had a google but its hard to find actually.

They paid 14m dollars just for The Masters in 2023...

It's great that you love watching the Jonsson Workwear Open just as much as the Masters and Ryder Cup. I'm sure that will the DPWT a fuzzy feeling inside.
I'd happily watch any golf to be honest. I love all sport and if I'm not playing something will just as happily watch it.
