I think a topgolf like competition would be neat. I certainly don’t want it to replace what we have now. But, it would appeal to younger generations.

Thats like fixing a broken arm with a band-aid.  Doesn't touch the root of the problem, and doesn't really make anything better.  Maybe it saves you a little time?  But in exchange it would take away the ability to watch anything live, and you still only get to see such a small amount of the actual shots on the course.  The coverage itself is what needs fixed

Saves me A LOT of time. The DVR lets me control what I want to see. Instead of watching someone read a putt and shuffle into their stance for 2 minutes, I can FF right to the putt. Most 4-hour golf broadcasts in real time are shear torture. That's why so many people find golf boring to watch. And if I want to see that hole-out from the fairway, I don't need to watch it six times.

espn-icon-57x57.png Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy launch tech-infused golf league featuring virtual venues, prime-time matches

Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy are launching a tech-infused golf league in partnership with the PGA Tour that will have players competing on six three-man teams in 15 regular-season matches and a playoff starting in January...

 

Doesn't seem all that interesting to me, but maybe it will garner the attention of others.

LIV: Check out our fresh new format for competitive golf

Tiger and Rory: Hold my beer

 

Okay now this PGAT player suspension looks even worse than it did before. You can't play on that competing tour because we partnered with our big cats on a different one.

I hope this isn't a mega flop, I can imagine it being pretty cool. Can also imagine it being pretty stupid.

I think the PGA Tour had a skills challenge a while ago, but I really enjoyed that. 

We will never know the positive or negative results of all of this until it happens. There are tons of examples of this in other areas. Like moves, plenty of movies have been written off by big production companies because a visionary idea can't be accurately assessed monetarily. 

There are a few things I would enjoy. Different types of formats, like team matches. IDK, I am interested in seeing how all this plays out.

Yeah, I don't even know what "The arena is actually in space."  let alone why it would mean the idea would get so much hate.

But then again, what the hell do I know?

I can see this being interesting for a short time but eventually need the real thing.  I like the slam dunk events but not too frequently.  Also some of this sounds like the Pro Bowl or Allstar Game but those are not the Super Bowl or World Series.

do need to learn more before final judgement.

I don’t like what it appears to be with the minimal detail. However, I’d rather watch Tiger, Rory, JT, et al go bowling than to watch mostly wash ups and nobodies play in the silly LIV matches.

The twitter comments are full of it already. I think it will be cool, but easy to see why its going to get hate - it looks like a game show set. Just need Steve Harvey up there asking questions.

Hey look on the brightside, Tiger will be able to play in it. No walking, one round, hit and giggle golf. Nike must be thrilled!

Thing is, it's not necessarily about existing golf fans.

It's probably more about the TopGolf golfer, the video game golfer, etc.

People younger than many of us.

At the end of the day, its likely this is not going to be my thing.  I'll tune into the first one and see, its an extra day of golf on TV if nothing else.  but I think the important thing is that its not taking away from the Tour.  Its not taking players away, its not taking tournaments away, its just there as its own thing, so seems perfectly fine to let them have their fun and see what it turns into

      Day 430 - 2025-12-04 Slow motion backswings (with chippy shots) with AlmostGolf balls.

      Day 24 (4 Dec 25) - Spent about an hour working with the new 55° wedge in the backyard.  Kept all shots to under 20yds.  Big focus - not decelerating thru downswing and keeping speed up with abbreviated backswing.  Nothing like hitting a low flighted chip with plenty of check spin and then purpose to float a pitch of similar distance.

      Day 114 12-4 Put some work in on backswing, moving the hips correctly, then feeling over to lead side. Didn't hit any balls was just focused on keeping flowy and moving better. I'll probably do another session tonight and add in some foam balls.

      Didn't say anything about your understanding in my post.  Well, if you are not insisting on alignment with logic of the WHS, then no.  Try me/us. What do you want from us then?? You are not making sense. You come here and post in an open forum, question a system that is constructed with logic, without using any of your own and then give us a small window of your personal experience to support your narrative which at first sight does not makes sense.  I mean, if you are a point of swearing then I would suggest you cut your losses and humor a more gullible audience elsewhere. Good heavens.
