I think that the PGA should have a mixed pair tournament to promote diversity and possibly increase the popularity of the LPGA.  I recall Bubba Watson paired with Lexi Thompson in the QBE Shootout (so there is no rule that ladies can participate).  They could incorporate some of the round rules they have for the Ryder Cup Team format as well.

Thoughts?

Why would the PGA Tour really care about promoting the LPGA Tour?

Or did you actually mean the PGA (of America), in which case… why should the PGA do that?

That isn't what I said or asked, though. I might watch it, too, but I watch PGA Tour golf and LPGA Tour golf already. Does the QBE Shootout do gangbusters ratings wise? No, I don't think so.

This exists (might be the first year though?), there have been plenty of ads for it.  Grant Thornton Invitational.  32 players, 16 from each tour (PGA & LPGA).

I think there has only been a couple times that a lady has participated in a PGA event.  So cant really base QBE Shootout ratings as a benchmark of how popular this idea might be.  I wasnt thinking in terms of profit for the PGA.  I just thought it would be a good variation to have to spice things up.  Especially considering what LIV is incorporating in their approach.

And… PGA ≠ PGA Tour.

      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.
