Quite bit costlier.  How will the networks pay for it? I can only think of 2 ways.

1. More commercials!

2. Charge more for commercials.  Which will be hard to do if networks are losing viewership due to excessive commercials.

 

I guess this can be solved by finding a new player better than TW ever was.

I'm not sure what to make of this in comments section of the WSJ piece. I'm not sure if there are fewer top ranked players in regular events. But I'm not exactly keeping track.

Don't know how realistic these predictions are but personally for me, the purse could double and I'm pretty sure it would not influence me whether I watch or not as much as an organically competitive finish. Also, at the end of the season, I'm not really chomping at the bit to watch golf as the majors are over. But that's just me. Also these numbers are crazy.

6554b6be8c0d829a8bf63ae0c82cf121_link.pn State of the PGA Tour: Growing purses, expanded coverage good signs

PONTE VEDRA BEACH, Fla. – The questions about coronavirus outnumbered those about the health of reigning Masters champion Tiger...

The purse for the Players jumped to $15 million this year, with the winner awarded $2.7 million on Sunday, and he predicted that when the new TV riches kick in, the purse of the Players would reach $25 million. The FedEx Cup, which has doubled from a season-long pot at the end of the rainbow of $35 million to $60 million as of last season (plus $10 million for the Wyndham Rewards Top 10), also will receive a turbo-charge.

“Perhaps $100 million or more,” Monahan said. “That’s not a commitment, but that’s, generally speaking, the kind of growth that I expect for us to see for our athletes.”

Yeah, but ... they have minimum number of events to play in each season, and the add-on that they didn't play the last four seasons.  Unless they have lifetime membership or veteran status, or something.

      Day 203 (21 Nov 24) - Weekly nine hole round with my good friend.  Played it as a 7 club challenge (7w, 5h, 7i, 9i, GW, LW, putter).  As we were playing up a set of tees, no super loss of distance off the tee.  Had some good looks at birdie, failed to convert.  These sessions with fewer clubs really helps with course management.

      My wife is going to drag me to see Wicked.   She is very excited to see it.   We saw the musical while in Chicago and thought it was very good.  I'm not usually a fan of musicals but I'm looking forward to seeing this.   Gladiator 2 does look good.   I'm going to go back and watch the original Gladiator before going to the theater.

      MSN Glover expressed his dissatisfaction with what he termed as 'cool kid meetings' between Jordan Spieth, Patrick Cantlay, Tiger Woods and other high-profile golfers. "I think it's terrible," he stated. "And then hiding behind pace of play, I think, challenges our intelligence. They think we're stupid.     "Don't cut fields because it's a pace of play issue. Tell us to play faster, or just say you're trying to appease six guys and make them happy so they don't go somewhere else and play golf." Fitzpatrick joined the conversation on X (formerly Twitter), with the 30-year-old echoing Glover's sentiments regarding the PGA Tour changes. "He's so right," Fitzpatrick posted. "Pathetic that pace of play is spoken about every year and nothing ever gets done."     I agree. Instead of  penalizing  players for  turtle  play they appease the  slow jerks  by  cutting the  fields. They will play even slower  knowing they will NEVER be  penalized.
