Watching on TV now, read later.

Golf is only sport I watch.

The players will get more prize money. That’s it.

Maybe rainbow colored balls? Players taking a knee before each putt?

For “parity” how about making it best ball off the tee. That would equalize things a good bit.

“Scarcity”? Fewer events?

Wheelchairs? Tiger was one of the best... But he can’t walk anymore. So changing golf into a ‘virtual’ sport is his only option.

I like this new format, where everyone starts even.

Instead of rolling back the ball, standardize the putters on the Tour and watch the chaos.

I believe LIV hired the idiot woman responsible for the Bud light commercial.

So what are the changes they are contemplating?

I suggest crowd participation instead of that stupid "Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" crap before every frickin shot.

And don't get me rolling on those stupid ass announcers seated in their booths, hundreds of yards away, looking in their monitors, whispering when the targeted player is about to make his putt or tee off......Give me a frickin break!

The PBA implemented it, why can't the PGA?

Golf is the most anal retentive game on this planet.

Allow any distraction that doesn't physically impede your opponent's swing.

It's championship Sunday at Augusta, Phil Mickelson and Jordan Speith are the final pair. As Speith lines up to tee off at the par 3 12th hole, a pantless Mickelson is 20 yards in front of the tee box spinning a dick helicopter while singing Mr. Brightside.

I propose starting with escorting off the course anyone in the gallery who screams “in the hole” or “mashed potatoes” or “baba booey” or …anything. Yeah, I’m a fuddy duddy.

Looks like Fleetwood has got this wrapped up. His very first win on tour will be the Tour Championship. Pretty wild. $10 mil prize.

“I like him. I like him a lot,” McIlroy said. “I like that he doesn’t come from golf. I like that he doesn’t have any preconceived ideas of what golf should look like or what the tour should look like. I think he’s going to bring a fresh perspective to everything, and I think he wants to move pretty quick, so I’m excited.”


you are going to like the new golf......................

“you are going to like the new golf”

No, I’m not, but I’m a special case - I want to go back to wooden shafts and gutta-percha golf balls.

+1 for this suggestion. I play with my Louisville set while I am always on the search for playable originals. Puts the game back on the player
