There was a bit of idle conspiracy theory chat on the shotgun start pod that whatever was beneath the dome was nowhere near completion and that a face-saving accident was the least bad outcome.

Hard to imagine that the world will still be clamouring for it in 2025, but so knows. John Rahm must be enjoying the vanilla hints in his Rioja... talk about dodging a bullet.

When Tiger first announced the opening of TGL I said that it would be a big bump for you guys.

The Simulator business just took a big hit in future business due to this postponement.
It'd be interesting how the Simulator business does once TGL finally arrives. If it does genuinely pick up substantially, it could actually be a sign that TGL is playing a role in growing the game. I know that is a familiar saying these days, and would be great to see if it looks to have any impact.

For many people, Tiger is golf. Even though he is no longer relevant at the top of the leaderboard, the world still sees him as the face of golf.

If Tiger starts playing sim golf, loads of people will suddenly turn up at top golf etc and want to give it a go.

Rory has a documentary coming out, trailer/teaser clip doesn't give much away except he's looking to grow the game with his Boston team
With 70 courses in boston, 350 in Massachusetts & 1,200 in florida where it'll be held, golf already seems pretty well 'gown'

Format seems sensible and has a decent broadcaster, and good players. It should

It'll fill a gap in the US market - but I fear it'll have a limited lifespan. Most people will tell you the novelty of hitting a ball into a screen soon wears off, and I don't see that being very much different with TGL.

Having said that, I hope I'm wrong and I hope it brings people to the game that otherwise wouldn't be interested.

Will I sit through 2 hours of a re-run on a Tuesday after work - not likely.

Depends on what they do to fill the gaps. Interviews, random challenges etc and it may keep its watchability

160 bucks to watch lads hit balls into a net.

It’s going to be horrifically corny as well I’d imagine, which might actually make it worth watching.
