Sneakylong I would be curious to know what the real interest is … what those viewership numbers might be if they were both on Network TV. I don’t think their lack of a TV deal is due to anything more than that all Networks that WANT to carry golf, are already in bed with the PGA. Why would they want to help water down their own product? Maybe I’m wrong, but I can’t think of a Network chomping to become a player in televising pro golf.

The Saudi Fund may own a price of me indirectly, but they can still go f@&k themselves. Lol. Yes we will see if and when a network of some scale jumps in bed with the Saudi’s.
johnnydoom We’ll just have to wait and see about the TV.
Working well here.
Much better than listening to the PGA talking heads kissing Finau's ass all day long.
I'm watching both events now. I can get used to this.
Yeah, I agree. None of the Major networks will jump ship. It’ll have to be some other broadcaster. I was thinking Sky, but they broadcast some the Majors and some of the DP World Tour I believe.

They were doing some USGA stuff. I heard they had talks with LIV, but nothing came of it. Fox fired Greg Norman before from their broadcast team. Lol
The Saudi’s could spend some of that $600 billion and start their own network. Lol

Yeah, Finau is clicking on all gears either now. Good guy. Easy to root for.
Final is personable and makes it easy to root for him. 
darpar He's been playing some pretty good golf as of late
Good for him.
However, when I tune in and it's Tony this and Tony that and nobody else, then find out he's 2 shots back, fuck that.
That was yesterday, and now today, when he ties the leader, his name moves to the top of the scoreboard (a la Tiger)
Fuck that too.
I guess when the field is weak and watered down, they gotta do something.
LOLOLOLOLOL
Yep. Pulled him self up from not much and works his rear off. Loads of talent doesn’t hurt.

I remember Tony and his brother Gipper on Golf Channels The Big Break back in 2009. Lol

Yup what used to be called a Phil Mickelson moment. Lol. At least he’s the one that sticks out with his wife and kids running out on the green after a victory.
Probably just a marketing strategy the networks have used for years, put the most recognizable
name at the top in a tied situation, hoping to get the casual viewer to stay watching.
Not that everybody knows who Finau is, but I'm not sure I ever heard even of Pendrift til this week.
You're right about Tiger, he was almost always at the top in a tied up leader board, he moved the ratings/viewership.
At one time it seemed like they just went by first to post the lowest score, first to the top of the board.

I actually thought just the opposite. The nerve of DeChambeau telling Crenshaw how to putt on the greens at Augusta.
The shot she took at Bryson saying he had zero Masters wins and her husband having two was priceless. And there’s a very good chance he may never have a chance to win one.
Side note. My golf buddy who used to work for Nabisco and was involved with the PGA tournaments they sponsored played golf with Ben Crenshaw and Ben gave him one of his putters signed. Pretty cool.

Love the banter boys, but I’m distracted from my Tito’s and grapefruit juice and watching one hell of a PGA Tour tournament. Lol
Tony and the Canadian Taylor Pendrith will share the lead going into tomorrow’s finale.
