Open de Andalucia Vs Arnold Palmer Invitational

[minty18]

Had a nightmare last night, Golf Night was on the same time as the live coverage of the A.P Invitational, I opted for the live coverage so I didnt catch any of montys excellent round at Andalucia. Tonight will probly be the same.

Do people stick to watching the Euro tour rather than the US? or flirt between the two like myself?

Also, has Ken Browne left the BBC to work for setanta now or does he do both?

I tend to flick between both but have to say i prefer watching the US Tour, purely because the majority of the worlds best players play on it.

European tour for me. Only due to fact that I'm not going to shell out anymore money for Sultana, I mean Setanta.

European Tour for me, its the tour that I'm closest to e.g. You don't have any PGA events in England. Plus I prefer the players on this tour.

The way it's going there won't be any European Tour events in England soon.....

Sky+ is your saviour.
All I need now is Sports and Setanta.

I'm on virgin! It's great because I get setanta free but my Mrs will not let me buy the Virgin+ box.

European Tour over US for me, the commenatry over there does me 'ed in sometimes.

Euro Ladies Tour is worth a look too........apparently.

 

[HomerJSimpson]

I flicked between the two last night but think I'll watch the European tonight as I got bored with all the US ad breaks

Golf Night for sure when Di Stewart is presenting although I like watching the golf live where possible so when you get decent fields like who's at the AP this week I'll watch that. Depending how late you stay up golf night gets repeated later on as well....or sky+

European tour for me. American golf is to bland. All the courses look the same, the same weather each week(nice and sunny with a gentle breeze) and all they show is putting. If Tiger is playing that`s all they will show and if a european should get on the leader board he hardly get`s a mention. Oh yes, i forgot about the moron`s that shout"get in the hole" and "your the man" on every shot.

Same as for me.

Comentators in on Euro tour are better in my book to and there are far less add breaks.

 

[Cernunnos]

I much prefer the European tour as the European tour players make more exciting & interesting viewing & I consider the standard or European play is these days far better. In general the only PGA events that would be worth watching are when European Tour players take part.

Now with the replacement of Order of Merit with the Race to Dubai, will serve to entice the better European players to attend more of the Euro tournaments.

Add to this the fact that Sky's coverage & commentary is superior to that of the PGA tours coverage.

I pay enough for Sky Sports, without forking out any extra on Satanta

I have both Sky Sports and Setanta, but will be getting rid of Setanta after saturday (Scotland game).
I agree with what's been said already, ie Sky coverage is far better (less breaks, better commentary, not focussing on one particular player).
Plus Setanta only have the regular PGA tour. WGC and Majors are either on Sky or the Beeb. Hell, they've even lost half their footy next season.
