The Open v World Cup Final

[MendieGK]

If the world cup final (with England) and Tiger (or your favourite golfer) in leading group of the open were on at the same time, which would you watch?

yes i know they are a week apart!

HAHA

Who cares, World Cup all the way if England were to get there. Fat chance of that though 😂

 

[Bazzatron]

And they're a week apart too...

Was getting excited thinking we'd have a day of watching the open final round with the world cup final in the evening.

Nope, World Cup Final is on at 4pm!

Now i wonder if the R&A will move tee times earlier? surely knowing viewership (and possibly attendance) will be hugely reduced....

Personally i think they'll take the 'we dont play second fiddle to anyone' approach, and it will backfire.

Did you mean the Scottish open?

Golf, at least I know who the players are .

Let's take this as a theoretical discussion. For me, football every time. England in a world cup final could be a once in a lifetime moment. The tournament only happens every 4 years whereas the Open is every year and there are 3 other majors each year anyway. For me, not even close.

So our choices are

1. watch England in WCF
2. watch Scottish Open with Beef & Poulter in final pairing
3. read posts by 'Clown' making pointless threads on GM forum

Toughie between 2 & 3 but 2 wins every time I think

In terms of watching on TV, World Cup final beats all for me. I won't be missing that for anything. And that's not dependent on England being there or not.

On a similar note, if England win tomorrow they play on Saturday afternoon. Who else is booked in for a pairs comp at the same time as the game? My pp won’t be happy when I’m in the pub rather than on the course 😂

my brother has a wedding in Belfast, he purposely didnt renew his passport to avoid going (with the football now an added benefit).

I'll be on a plane all afternoon so absolutely no chance of keeping tabs unless the pilot puts out a few announcements! Flew to the States one Saturday during the Ryder Cup, asked the hostess to find out what was happening and she came back and handed me a small printed ticket with all the scores on. She said' I have no idea what this means or if it is good or bad news'

It was bad news

If it was a choice between the Open and the World Cup Final then it would be the Open for me having a quick check on the football every now and then

 

[Deleted member 23270]

I'd watch one on TV with the other running on my laptop

 

[duncan mackie]

I've already got issues with the British Grand Prix next Sunday, and being at Le Mans for the week with the Classic event! No doubt there is also a golf event finishing this coming Sunday afternoon as well....

World Cup.

Ryder Cup final day in a tight match would run it closer. I’ll always support my nation (not that I’m massively patriotic) over one individual. Especially as none of my favourite golfers are English.
