There are a lot of things about the format that I really like. For one, I love the shotgun start, which makes it so there is always a lot of action. It also minimizes the huge advantages and disadvantages that sometimes occur with weather changes over the course of a full day of golf.
I think the PGA should possibly look into making some changes.

Walterjn kinda sounds like fun

Having attended/volunteered at many PGA/LPGA events, I find this a COMPLETELY different product. Vibe/feel/atmosphere is fun, but the players seem focused on playing well. I'd definitely go again.

    "It appears as if Judge Beth Labson Freeman isn’t quite done with legal wrangling in the PGA Tour v. LIV Golf case.

    On Friday, the New York Times Company filed a motion in Federal District Court in the Northern District of California to intervene and unseal court records in the case between the PGA Tour v. LIV Golf, the Public Investment Fund of Saudi Arabia and Yasir Othman Al-Rumayyan.

    In the initial complaint that was filed by LIV Golf against the PGA Tour on Aug. 8, 2022, and in subsequent counter-claims, much discussion has occurred and numerous rulings by Judge Freeman have been focused on sealing documents on both sides from the public view.

    The Times Company in its 14-page motion is using what it believes is well-settled legal doctrine in federal common law and the First Amendment, stating that the public enjoys a right of access to judicial records such as those sought in this case.

    In the motion, the Times Company noted 41 docket entries that have substantial redactions sealed by the courts.
    The hearing on the motion is set for 1:30 p.m. on Aug. 3 in Judge Freeman’s court in San Jose, Calif."

      As expected. Be interesting to see what the DOJ thinks about it.

      Also, the way I understand it is the lawsuits being dropped on both sides ‘with prejudice’ means that if the deal ends up not going thru. They just go their separate ways and cannot refile. No more legal wrangling.

        garyt1957 I have enough money and more won't make my life better"?

        That's just not true. For those that already have it.

        I always wondered how many centuries a family could subsist on a few million dollars, invested properly, from people like these golfers.
        Today, it seems more like how many decades. Because they seem to spend most of it in their immediate lifetime.

            garyt1957 What a hypocrite. What happened to " I have enough money and more won't make my life better"?

            It probably still rings true, to a degree.
            He has openly bitched, and quite often, about how much he is forced to play, so my guess is this is a bigger factor, in his case.

                Par4QC That's just not true. For those that already have it.

                Then don't say it. I have no problem with guy's taking the money just be consistent. Phil really got a bad deal by being the first.

                    garyt1957 Phil really got a bad deal by being the first.

                    Yeah $200 mil for being pretty much past his prime, got to feel bad for the guy!😉

                        darpar doesn't matter about his abilities. People were destroying him. I'd bet Rahm probably said something derogatory about him back then if you were to go check. He was the sacrificial lamb. Now it's gotten easier

                            garyt1957 He was the sacrificial lamb.

                            I think you read the wrong chapter of 'the book'......he was he Chosen One'!!

                            Absolutely never a sacrifice on his part nor for him/his family.
