I never really watched it anyway apart from the majors. It doesn't help that these days all the majors are wrapped up in a four month window, then you've got eight months to wait for the next one. On non-Ryder years anyway.

I watch plenty of PGAT golf, but LIV is unwatchable to me.
The Player's Championship is the best tournament of the year.
I watch less of the Majors because of too many LIV players and their antics.
If the Saudi players take over the Ryder Cup, I'll watch less of that.

We live in a world now with plenty of options of things to do and things to watch. I think that golf as a product, is not the best thing to watch. It lasts too long, there's too little happening, and there are too many adverts. So when I have a choice between the above and watching a good film, TV programme, or football, golf isn't even a consideration.
I love playing golf but I only really watch The Masters and The Open now.

Has to be up there with one of the most boring sports to watch on TV, on par with cricket (excluding T20)

There’s plenty of side-bets to be had on watching cricket tho..

Those pesky LIV golfers out there, brazenly errr.. playing golf?
You've not seen them doing Australian style break dancing before taking their tee shots? Lee Westwood looks particularly uncomfortable when he is doing itThose pesky LIV golfers out there, brazenly errr.. playing golf?
waiting 5 days for a bet to be settled would put me off for life

Agree with all of the above. Also, when you have a winning score at 30 under par, not really interested in watching 6 hours of pitch & putt

I just watch highlights on YouTube now, It's not bad. I can't justify paying for Sky coverage.

Antics:
Dechambeau ....with his scientist and fake man of the people act. IMO
Hatton ..... with his foul mouth, throwing his club routine.
Niemann ...... with his constant whining of not getting invites to the majors.
etc....etc.... Yes, antics. They've become quite annoying, so I watch less.
Just me though, each to his own.

I’m sorry.

Ryder cup is great viewing from day one for me.
I enjoy the majors,but obviously helps if it’s tight after 3 rounds.
Other than that it can be pretty dull unless I’ve had a bet on it & my pick is in contention.

Looks like Rory agrees with most on here. He is saying that the PGAT needs to scale back on the amount of golf it is playing. He say 47-50 competitions is too much.

There is never enough beer no matter what you are watching.

So, I imagine that Rory wants the PGAT to play 14 tournaments like the Saudi League.
Rory needs to just shut up and stop talking.
