TC’s comment of Match Play is “catnip for casuals” is so fucking dumb. I’m so sorry that I get a little excited about watching two guys face off when every other week is the exact same format. It’s fucking cool! Is that so bad?
If TC is trashing match play. Wonder why he pretends to care about European Ryder cup.
No byes isn’t all bad. It would be like March Madness. Low seeds have opportunity for big upsets over higher seeds
TC what do you like abt pro golf?
The only problem is if the final is like Alex Smalley vs Ryan Gerard, and hopefully there’s a 3rd place match. March play for one match IS hard TV to produce.
No byes a little rough for the higher seeds. Maybe give the better seeds on each site get some choices in course set up (at least tees and pins)? Would be good discussion fodder and strategy
LMFAO touching on the letdown of the Tony P hog reveal
Great stuff from Max. I hope he starts getting into contention more next year.
We are two years away from the match play and Soly is talking about how the TV screens should portray pool play? It’s half the number of players as the old Austin tourney, so should definitely be easier but what a thing to worry/talk about 2 years out before even the first iteration. O the places NLU could go with less Soly.
Someone has explain to me why these people all think match play is so mich better than stroke play. Aren't the players just going to hit driver wedge still? Doesn't seem to solve that at all, which is 75 percent of what they complain about.
Tony p hog reveal reference out left field 🤣🤣
Why is Max Homa discussing this? Nothing he needs to worry about
Personally would be interested in seeing the regular season championship in a stableford format with starting points
