Moderately entertaining for golf fanatics. No idea how they're going to make the virtual golf league entertaining for everyone else.

My thoughts exactly… as a golf fanatic I’d rather watch competitive golf, and I can’t imagine this being compelling to anyone who isn’t already a fan

i'm quickly losing interest in even this match. yea a few chuckles here and there, but man is this dragging on way longer than it needs to be

Smylie found his way on TV during a professional golf match for the first time in 6 years.

Yeah. Him and Immelman would be good together. 

 

It's working.  I'm entertained.

[Mcgeeno]

I'd listen to Sir Charles commentate a major. 

 

Golf is too stuffy and old school as it is. I enjoy hearing him chirp and blab away in these things lol.

Doesn’t seem like Rory is that close to any of these guys.

[Wasted_Talent]

Charlie better play well at the PNC.

He's ok in small doses before he becomes Gary McCord and you're hitting the mute button.

Ya was thinking, under the lights really adds something. 
 

Then, assuming the stadium is big enough and tech is cool, it could be entertaining since no down time in between shots. 
 

Gotta have some explosions too. That’s the key to bringing in “everyone else”

 

Or even better, launching stingers at some guy in a padded suit down range!🤣
 

Make it an hour and could be good.

She wasn't let go by NBC completely. She will no longer be on its golf coverage.

All the guys in the booth have been good about laying out tonight, letting us hear the players. Chuck has gotten way better. Seems like the less effort he puts in the better it is.

Friends of mine that have no interest watching a non major Tour event are watching this.

Like every other golf event….way too many commercials. 

[Mcgeeno]

I used to rush home from school to watch Shell's wonderful world of golf repeats.

 

This stuff is different, its fun.

 

I dont really care which golfers they pick. Homa, JT, Rory, Tom Kim. Corey Conners whoever. 

 

Just make the course something we havent seen a ton, have the announcers have fun and make it entertaining. Donate a bunch to charity and have some celebrity interviews or whatever.

Maybe so, but reporters normally don’t work for multiple networks

Ouch. “Tiger, Do you remember your most memorable hole-in-one?” - “My most memorable? Ya.”

 Tappen has zero chemistry here - very dull

[8602081]

This is fun watching.. really like the setup

 

[ilikegolf26]

So when $250,000 is donated in your name for closest to the pin and whatnot can that guy write that amount off on their taxes?

[bekgolf]

Dew on the greens.

Tiger wearing the same FootJoys he’s been wearing all year?

They in Tiger/Rory's head now

Putter is king.

Yeah they look worn out and the toe section is all curved up.

However at times they do. See Nick Faldo for golf. Worked for both CBS and GC. Amanda Balionis has worked The Match a few times. Look who Ian Eagle works for.

Swear he had Nikes on during the Hero where that clip was shot of him giving that AM a putting lesson

Is Spieth playing blades?
