What in your personal opinion, either from going yourself to a PGA event or hearing from a reputable source, is/are the best course(s) to follow around your favourite player(s)?

- sightlines

- ease to follow through all 18 holes

- viewing multiple holes from one area

  • iacas changed the title to Best PGA Tour Course to View/Follow Players?

Welcome to TST.    We're glad you've joined.  

I can't speak for others because I haven't traveled to many courses to watch PGA tournaments.   Back in the day at the Buick Open in Grand Blanc, MI it was an amazing place to see a golf tournament.   Warwick Hills was a shorter course, several adjacent holes and a grandstand hole on #17 where the par 3 was known at the time as the rowdiest hole in golf.    It is now home to the Ally Challenge home to the Champions Tour.

Hello and welcome to TST. I haven’t traveled much to see many different venues but I can vouch for the Arnold Palmer Invitational here in Orlando. I’ve been the last four years and always well organized. There are many areas where you can be up close to the players and it’s an easy course to walk around.

TPC Stadium Courses are designed for spectator viewing.
I've been to the Phoenix Open multiple times and before they added grandstands one could view multiple holes from several areas.
The Hope Classic while played at multiple courses are good for spectator events.
Courses which are traditionally tree lined, generally only provide a few viewing spots and require moving to various locations.

If you only want to follow a certain group, then any course is suitable.
The only thing which would hamper trying to follow certain groups or players would be the gallery size.
Typically, early morning is good at events and easier to follow / walk along without gallery traffic jams.

    • I honestly believe if they play longer tees by 300-400 yards, closer to or over 7,000 yards, more rough, tougher greens, women's golf will become much more gripping.  BTW, if it weren't for Scottie killing it right now, men's golf isn't exactly compelling.
    • Day 542, April 26, 2024 A lesson no-show, no-called (he had the wrong time even though the last text was confirming the time… 😛), so I used 45 minutes or so of that time to get some good work in.
    • Yeah, that. It stands out… because it's so rare. And interest in Caitlin Clark will likely result in a very small bump to the WNBA or something… and then it will go back down to very low viewership numbers. Like it's always had. A small portion, yep. It doesn't help that she lost, either. Girls often don't even want to watch women playing sports. My daughter golfs… I watch more LPGA Tour golf than she does, and it's not even close. I watch more LPGA Tour golf than PGA Tour golf, even. She watches very little of either. It's just the way it is. Yes, it's a bit of a vicious cycle, but… how do you break it? If you invest a ton of money into broadcasting an LPGA Tour event, the same coverage you'd spend on a men's event… you'll lose a ton of money. It'd take decades to build up the interest. Even with interest in the PGA Tour declining.
    • Oh yea, now I remember reading about you on TMZ!
