Aaron Rodgers and Chris Paul are looking to put one together. I would watch this over Shotmakers. I'd love it even more if MLB/NHL were included.

I’d vote no.

No thanks. The Pebble Pro-Am is enough non-golfers playing golf for me. (And even that's too much.)

[Pepsivanilla93]

I'd give it a chance. Wouldn't hurt me in the slightest if I missed it though.

Good grief.  Not just no, hell no!

I see plenty of amateurs playing golf every time I’m on the course.  I don’t need to watch it on tv too.

[Vinsk]

There wasn’t a ‘Hell No’ so I voted ‘no.’ It’s the same concept for me as to why I watch more PGA than LPGA. But I’d certainly rather watch an LPGA event over this garbage.

I will watch anything golf related, including that god awful Shotmakers. My TV is always on the Golf Channel so if it's on and I'm home, it's getting watched. I'd personally like to see some matches from everyday hackers. That'd be cool to watch. "In the BLUUEEEE corner, weighing in at a driver SS of 96 we have Hacker Joe"!! ?

I voted yes, but the circumstances would have to be extremely right for me to do so. Like if the matches were held at Augusta National. 

Even then, I would only watch a little bit of it. An idea like this would most likely have a ton of commercial breaks. When a commercial would come on, I'd probably go channel surfing, and forget to come back . That's what I do now with the weekly pga tournaments.

Interesting. The poll has a decent majority saying, ‘yes’ but there are very few comments in support in the thread. 

I'd definitley watch. Nothing beats the PGA Tour, but lots of these guys are pretty skilled, and the unpredictability of their games adds to the interest, IMO. Could shank or duff one out of nowhere. I would want to see single digit caps only, though. 

 

[saevel25]

Probably not

[dennyjones]

I'd rather watch good golf.   I'd watch more LPGA and web.com before a celebrity golf tournament.     I voted no

[klineka]

I voted yes, but would be even more interested if they players were active players in the NFL/NBA. I dont really care to watch players golf that played in their sports 10 years ago and now are retired. 

Include players that actively play in their sports and also actively golf and that'd be fun to watch IMO. Guys like Brady, Steph Curry, JR Smith are a few that come to mind right away that are active players that are pretty into golf.

[HJJ003]

I voted no. I typically don’t watch any Golf other than PGA Tournaments, Champions Tour and LPGA Majors (occasionally). 

[Groucho Valentine]

No. I barley watch professionals compete in the ryder cup. Im certainly not going to tune in to watch Clay Matthews and Lebron James chop it up... 

[NJpatbee]

No interest.

[Carl3]

How about Trump and Obama teeing it up?

[krupa]

If I cared about basketball and football, I'd probably watch it.  As it is, I don't watch or care about either sport so no, I wouldn't watch it.

Eeks, gawd no! I'd rather watch a bunch of has been pro sports players hack there way around a course.  As to the OP question, probably not however some of them are quite good golfers and who doesn't like watching Charles Barkley's swing... pure fluid in motion.
