Last week's final round of the Rocket Mortgage involving no name young golfers drew something like fifteen times the audience of the final round of the LIV tournament

Miniscule TV ratings is not even news anymore for LIV. I still see no reason why the PGA needs to merge with that outfit

if you call yourself a true golf fan, the non-signature events should be interesting to you. Not as big as the other event, but the story can change from week-to-week.
life changing win
keep your tour card another year
qualify for the next major or Augusta
big name forced to play lesser events as his eligibility and relevancy slip away.
come back story, redemption
up and comers

you got that last week with two junior players and one past most primes veteran.

Interesting to see if Homa can come out of the funk he has been in. Always liked Villegas and would like to see him find something in his 40’s now. Champ looked like a phenom with his speed but it’s never translated to a great PGA career. All these guys are in the mix right now. At least for me, it’s interesting to watch but I am a golf nerd.

I saw the entries and it looks like the same cast of characters at the ISCO this week in Louisville as have been at Champions for six years. One notable addition is JB Holmes who for some reason never seemed to want to play at the Barbasol/ISCO before this year, and I know for a fact they invited him every year when he was not eligible for the Scottish and British.
