My family is going to Maui around the time of the tournament, and I will be going to watch some of the days, but I have a few questions for some people who have been to PGA Tour events.

First I have read around this thread that you cannot take cameras onto the grounds, is this true for all PGA Tour events, or just some of them, based on what the course wants?

Second, a friend of mine went to the PGA Championship over the summer, and he said that there was a huge building that sold all kinds of merchandise. Again is this just for some events or are there these places at all PGA Tour events? And also about this, is the merchandise reasonably priced? Or is just about everything fairly expensive? I am asking because I am trying to figure out how much money to save for the tournament.

Thanks for any help, and man I can't wait to go

Here's what I play:

Titleist 907 D2 10.5* UST ProForce V2 76-S | Titleist 906F4 18.5* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist 585H 21* Aldila VS Proto "By You" 80-S | Titleist ZB 4-PW TTDG S300 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 54.10 | Bob Vokey Spin Milled Oil Can 60.08 | Scotty Cameron Red X5 33" |

Just about any tournament won't let you bring in a camera. As for merchandise, the pro shop should be open if nothing else is. But I'd be surprised if a tournament like that didn't have something for sale There's no shortage of people around here with Kapalua hats and jackets.

You'll have a blast, well at least I did when I go to the Mercedes Championship. The crowds are much smaller here compared to other events which means you'll get great views of the players from tee to green. When I went I had to check my camera. Yes there is a pretty large tent setup with shirts, hats, etc.

Is Tiger playing the event this year? I know that ole Phil has already stated that he'll start his season at Torrey Pines. Without those two the crowds are always small.

Ok thank you, but since you can't take cameras in, how do people get pictures from the events?

If I remember hearing correctly, the commentators at the Target World Challenge mentioned that Tiger's first tournament would be at Torrey Pines.

I'm not suprised. The season opener will be without its two biggest stars for yet another season, what a shame.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas ·

      I'm not doing this for the hundred and twentieth time. Sorry in advance, but you get the massively abridged version. Those guys also benefited from the weaker/shallower fields. Also, Watson's career doesn't overlap with Jack's like many think it did. Tom is nearly a decade younger. Jack won only like four majors only after Tom won his first. And Tom won more British Opens than he did all three of the other majors combined, as it was his specialty (not Jack's). Arnie's career similarly doesn't overlap Jack's as much as many think.   Jack would also tell you Tiger was the better golfer.

      Weaker depth of fields for sure. Some of the top level guys with Jack were pretty awesome. Tom Watson had the lead on the 72nd hole of the 2009 British Open, an event where Tiger missed the cut. Old Tom was almost 60 years old. Jack himself at age 58 finished Top 10 at The 1998 Masters and scored better than Tiger, who won The Masters by 12 shots just a year before that.   The success of both Tom & Jack in older age gives some hope that maybe Tiger can find the magic again at some point. He’s still trying to figure out how to build the stamina for 72 holes after the leg injury. I would love to see him jump on the leaderboard in the coming years. I know a lot of people have given up on him at this point, but that was also true from 2014 to 2017 with the back injuries. He had a hell of a resurgence in 2018 & 2019. Would be fun to see it again.

      Perceptive rules question by caddie unlocks Tour pro’s ‘dead zone’ relief A perceptive rules question by Xander Schauffele’s caddie, Austin Kaiser, unlocked “dead zone” relief during the Wells Fargo Championship.

      I ran across an interesting new clip, Johnson Wagner went into that spot with the Referee who allowed the relief.  Apparently there was a perfectly reasonable shot to be made, as Johnson clearly demonstrated, so relief from the TIO was perfectly appropriate.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By iacas ·

      Once again… it's easier to be "consistent" when you're playing against weaker competition. Despite playing against significantly stronger/deeper fields, Jack was nowhere near as dominant as Tiger Woods was. Jack's "consistency" is a lame way of saying "I like Jack and I want to vote for him as GOAT but I can't come up with a real reason why, so I'll just say he was more 'consistent.'" If someone joined the PGA Tour, kinda muddled around for a year or two, then won 16 majors and 75 total PGA Tour events in eight years, then promptly retired… He'd almost surely have my vote for GOAT. Consistency schmonsistency.
