Professional Golf 2024

The tour is already struggling with declining viewing figures, and part of the reason for that is the lack of action and the amount of dead time during broadcasts. Even slower play might just about kill them off.

If you ever get the chance to watch the American broadcast of these events it's absolutely brutal to watch. There are more adverts per hour than golf. At least with SKY they sometimes go back to the studio and you get a bit of filler but the US is just adverts, adverts, adverts.

Should the DPWT be concerned about their position in the mens pro game right now - for me, the tour has lost it's status completely in favour of pulling in a handful of decent fields for a few events.

Golf’s civil war has pushed the DP World Tour into a perilous position. Recently, there's been an alarming lack of top-tier players competing on the former European Tour

Yes! What did they get from the deal with the PGAT? The right to lose their 10 best players each year, when finishing in the top ten "rewards" them a card for said tour. And? Nothing else as far as I can see.

If it was me, I'd be looking for a partnership with LIV. If LIV could be persuaded to drop the funky stuff, teams, 54 holes etc, the partnership could become a genuine "World Tour" and with LIV money, become a real worry for Monaghan.

That’s pretty standard for this period due to the events based in the US and the majors - from April through to June there are 3 US based majors and multiple high level events in the US

Soon we will see the players come back over for

Irish and Scottish Opens , the Open , British Masters, PGA

It’s the same every year with or without LIV

And the other 47 weeks of the year?

And the other 47 weeks of the year?

The same as it’s been for the last decade plus - the players play the events at the start in the Middle East and then at the end for the tour championship

Concerned about what though

The big main events will still be the same

Never mind. Good to know there's nothing to be concerned about.

The DP tour is behind the PGAT - it has been for decades

 

[Singlefiguregokfer]

Ever since the Euro stars of the 80’s the European tour has been a feeder tour for the US.
Now it’s the US and SA.

Maybe you could offer an opinion and enlighten us?

The ET has been a second tier feeder tour to the PGAT for 20 years or more. It’s probably now behind the Korn Ferry apart from 4 or 5 events.

Why are people suddenly surprised

Scheffler continues to impress but I don't know how he does it with that crazy footwork.

Scottie is just a scoring machine, so impressive to watch.
Also Muirfield Village is one of my favourite stops for the PGA tour, great course.

Just proves the old adage.
“ dosnt matter what you do in your swing as long as your consistent 6” before and after impact”

Can’t be good for his ankles when he’s a pensioner though.

You wonder if Wyndham Clark is looking forward to defending US Open, with MC at the 2 majors this year and another at the memorial. Still, strange game, can turn around in a flash.

Linn Grant wins the Scandinavian Mixed again after Soderberg blows a 6 shot lead with a 5 over round - Grant was 11 shots back

Really poor two putts on the last

 

[Slime]

I wonder where his head is at right now!

 

[IanM]

I watched it.

I still don't believe it.

 

[Singlefiguregokfer]

Hopefully he has a good team to help him through it.
Kaymer lost a big lead in the Middle East and hasn’t been the same player since.
