OT: What is going on at Quail Hollow today?

[USCEE82]

Very few fans. It's a major for Christ sake! I've googled it and nothing comes up other than the course was closed on Monday because of rain. Someone please enlighten me. Before the golf haters reply, did you see the crowds at the Masters?

I'm glad PGA didn't allow lift, clean, place. Bunch of whiners, these guys are good enough to hit whatever shot is needed if mud is on the ball. I do understand it may not go where they intended it, but they should adjust to hit the next shot. These guys are world class for the most part. I'll be paying attention to see how many European guys make a fuss about it.

I watched yesterday and it didn't feel like a major. The telecast lacked a lot as well. Some of that may have been because the leaderboard was not that interesting.

Shout out to George Cobb though. R.I.P.

I don't particularly care for ESPN telecast of golf.

Putting ball washers out of business.

Of the four majors, the PGA Championship has always sort of been the "little brother". I think moving the date from August to May didn't help either. It is right on the heels of the Masters which is undoubtedly the premier tournament of the year. Being played at Quail Hollow is nice but it isn't any sort of legendary course so that is probably putting something of a damper on things.

The fact tickets are still available for all days and all levels tells me demand is not huge.

Everyone is working overtime so they can afford 37 dolls for Christmas. We will not stand for only 8 dolls.

Looks like a great crowd today (Friday). Thursday was weird.

 

[KingWard]

40,000 there today. You wouldn't want any more than that on a golf course.

I didn't like the move to May either.
