Professional Golf 2024

I hope it's better with a crowd than it is without - and as for the "special sand" nonsense from Horschel.... "I can't tell you where the sand is from but there's only one other place in the world...." The word is it's Augusta sand, do they have their own personal quarry or summat....

Anyway - there's a TGL thread somewhere - we might be better moving the discussion there cos proffesional golf this is not.

It looks SO bad.
Expecting lots of forced “banter”

I hope it works - I'm all for innovating the game - but I fear it will be aimed directly at the US market and presented as such. Sky signing a broadcast deal means it's going to be broadcast to a limited audience - so they've taken it away from the younger audience straight away.

It'll definitely pull a crowd of loyalists but I've yet to see anything about it that will make it interesting. Golf panto.....

So a media deal now is a bad thing ?

It’s quite interesting from someone who is very much in favour of trying different things that you are very negative about it

I wonder if it’s because who is doing it as opposed to the concept

Simulator is very popular right now and this has the ability to actually encourage more people to watch the sport because it’s something that is different
