Date: June 12th, 2025 8:10 PM Author: Canary corner idk but the pga is run by retards, they should have treated liv as just another regional tour and ignored them and they'd have a full field instead of ruining their own product to be assholes, supposedly they had to be talked down from banning every single youtube dood who did a liv promotional tournament a while ago, guys who literally just promote golf and that's it and their idea was to ban them from being around the pga (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736869&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310486#49009903) |

Date: June 12th, 2025 8:18 PM Author: heady box office the worst thing about “liv” existing was that because of all the “liv vs pga” reporting now everyone calls the tour “the pga” which is incorrect and confusing imo (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736869&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310486#49009929) |

Date: June 12th, 2025 8:27 PM Author: heady box office i don’t think most people understand that actually. especially the pga championship (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736869&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310486#49009977) |

Date: June 12th, 2025 8:25 PM Author: Very tactful vivacious kitchen Scottie Sheffler I think is objectively the most dominant player since peak Tiger and it's kind of ruined because he's not out there with the full field.

Date: June 12th, 2025 8:26 PM Author: Canary corner he will definitely always have a little bit of an asterisk but at least it is only on tour wins, but even more than that the tour is just dumb as fuck for not wanting Bryson to show up, he is incredibly popular and good for the game (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736869&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310486#49009971) |

Date: June 12th, 2025 8:13 PM Author: heady box office TV. the first PGA broadcast on CBS was the first stroke play one. they were pressured into changing it to stroke play to sell more advertising (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736869&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310486#49009913) |

Date: June 12th, 2025 8:23 PM Author: heady box office do you remember the “WGC” events? they were always a stupid idea or would have been if not for tiger woods. the match play was one of them and held on the longest actually. turns out sponsors didn’t want to pay those huge purses when the star power wasn’t there. and match play makes that even worse when you can get really lame finalists.
of course now the tour has basically recreated the same idea as the WGCs with the “signature events” or whatever they’re called |

Date: June 12th, 2025 8:33 PM Author: dashing theater giraffe so basically $$... shitty finalist? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736869&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310486#49010003) |
|
Date: June 12th, 2025 8:45 PM Author: heady box office yeah. iirc dell(sponsor) asked if they could change the final or maybe even whole weekend of the tournament to stroke play to avoid that.
too much of a headache for the tour to keep them happy. i think they also wanted all the signature events or whatever they’re called to have the same format and field size |

Date: June 12th, 2025 8:24 PM Author: Very tactful vivacious kitchen match play is sps objectively as far as majors are concerned. they do the one match play event and Ryder/POTUS cup format is 180, but that's enough.

Date: June 12th, 2025 8:28 PM Author: heady box office he’s asking about “the one match play event” which was last played over two years ago now (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736869&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310486#49009982) |

Date: June 12th, 2025 8:41 PM Author: Very tactful vivacious kitchen oh I figured they still did that. It was gay as fuck and they played that shithole course in Austin Texas. I thought he was talking about pga championship going from match to stroke play back in the 60s or whenever they switched it.
Edit: it was actually 1958. First pga stroke play was at Llanerch which I’ve actually played before. Did not know that. |

Date: June 12th, 2025 8:46 PM Author: heady box office lol yeah i thought this was about the pga championship too if you read my first reply itt (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736869&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310486#49010068) |

Date: June 13th, 2025 9:24 AM Author: dashing theater giraffe why is match play gay? i always thought the match play event was fun and different from the same old same old, in the same way that the ryder cup or the skins game brings a different format.

Date: June 13th, 2025 9:40 AM Author: heady box office i used to love the match play tournament when it was a normal bracket. 64 doods, lose and you’re out.
then they changed the format to some round robin thing and it was in fact very gay. went from the only non major i’d watch early rounds of to one i didn’t watch at all |

Date: June 13th, 2025 9:46 AM Author: dashing theater giraffe wait wtf. never knew it got changed from a straight up single elim match play. that's gay as fuck (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5736869&forum_id=2\u0026mark_id=5310486#49011634) |
