Just curious, and I'm sure there's an older thread but maybe your view has changed. So what's your favorite major and non major to watch, on any tour. As far as majors, I lean towards the US Open. There's just something about watching the best gets their arse kicked by a course that makes me feel good. Lol. It's nice to know they are human. Non majors, I like the national pro am and the Accenture match play. With this being the last year at dove mountain, hopefully it will move to a course that more of the pros like and get the bigger names involved. I just like seeing the different formats in the lime light.

Masters - minimal commercials, lots of live streaming options. Non tour - any Euro tour event with a good field and course - usually fewer commercials and less yapping than US coverage.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

Masters and the US Open.  I love watching the amatuers in both, and I especially enjoy the extremely difficult set-up in the Open.

The fact that it falls over Fathers Day weekend means I have a free pass to watch and play as much golf as I like too. :-D

1. Masters

2. US Open

3. British Open (yes, I still like to identify that as the British)

4. Ryder Cup

5. Accenture Match Play (with a decent field)

I would put the PGA on this list if it went back to match play.

Without question and for many reasons I like watching the Masters best.  My second choice is the US Open.

I also like watching the Match Play in Tucson.  Match play is the only way you get to see the man on man competition.  Make for some exciting shots that you would never see attempted in stroke play.

Major - Has to be the Masters Non-Major - AT&T; Pro Am @ Pebble. Not so much the celebrities but that course gets me everytime. I will definitely be in attendance when the US Open returns to Pebble in a few years.

And it's fun to see superstars in other sports struggle like the rest of us at golf. Lol

The Masters has to be at the top of my list for majors, I think that it has something to do with the strategy of placing your approach shots and still being able to go low scorewise. I hate watching Pebble Beach because of the amateur coverage but I love the Waste Management tourny.

Definitely the Masters - Good coverage, new season beginning, great time of year and tradition.  Favorite non-major - the Phoenix Open (recently called the Waste Management Open until another sponsor takes over).

Masters The Open (British) - it's just fun to watch them play the "different" game that those courses impose in them.

I'd say Masters, mostly because it's the first major of the year and I always get excited for it.

    • Oh yea, now I remember reading about you on TMZ!
    • Of course there's not a simple or knowable answer here. But the whole Caitlin Clark phenomenon is a nice example IMO. Suddenly there was wall to wall media coverage and national attention and... the women's tournament got similar ratings to the men's and much higher ratings than the men in the final four. With every indication that there will be some portion of the uptick that remains going forward. And there's the whole element that Sue Bird brought up. That basketball needed a pretty enough white superstar guard. One who looks like the "cute little white girls" that describes most of the soccer USWNT that's been able to achieve much higher popularity than any version of women's basketball, which is dominated by black players and none of any race who could be described as little... I do think women's sports are in a good place to start taking off more though. It's really only in the coming 5-10 years that the majority of girls will start to come of age with post Title IX grandmothers (as in their grandmothers were allowed to be serious athletes). I don't follow men's or women's basketball much, but in golf for sure the women's tour has gotten much deeper over the past 20 years and only looks to keep going in that direction. I've heard the same about women's basketball. And the patriarchal attitudes that socialized girls out of sports and everyone out of women's sports fandom aren't gone but have def diminished.

    • I have nothing to add other than I freaking love her swing and I think she's hot as hell and some of my golfing buddies disagree so I fought them
    • I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.
