Saudi World Golf Tour 2022/2023 Thread

I think the only thing that kept some tour players from absolutely airing out cheaters like Reed, or flat whipping his ass in the parking lot, was the tour code of conduct. Should be entertaining watching Reed function in a world without protection...

Heck, it will probably be encouraged. They'll probably figure that would create even more interest.

The soap opera dynamic is a huge part of what I like about F1. Honestly, any form of sustained team/franchise model in golf would be innovative for the fans. I feel pretty confident the tour will snipe that concept quickly.

The golf looks like any other professional golf tournament event I've ever watched, except the leaderboard looks really cheesy. Of course it's all by design, surprised they didn't pull any pro wrestling announcers to do the broadcast. I mean it just seems so low budget for something that is spending all that money to get players. Shotgun freaking start? Even most club championships aren't shotgun start. Sounds like a captains choice tournament at the local muni with somebody selling mulligans, skirts and throws.

It's the Monday Night Wars. Just waiting for whoever the golf equivalent of mid-90s Lex Luger to walk out of the audience.

I'm going to need LK and/or Bill Simmons to go through this roster and let me know who the analogues are. Like has LIV signed their Bill Goldberg yet? Who makes up the Cruiserweight Division?

Man, my wrasslin knowledge has waned so much since our college days. I feel like plama would be good at this.
 
Phil is obv Hollywood Hulk Hogan. Feels like DJ and Reed are Big Sexy Kevin Nash and Scott Hall respectively.

Peep the "Reliving the War" series on the Wrestling Bios YT channel. Think he's on like episode 110 or something like that.
 
Anthony Kim could be like when the Ultimate Warrior came to WCW after years of being MIA. They could have commercials with Phil seeing Kim in the mirror like they did with Hogan seeing Warrior in the mirror before Warrior made his WCW debut.

Need a golf "Mike Tenay" :p and a Tony Schiavone to call everything "Greatest Night (Day) In the History of Our Sport"

I dig this.

Who gets the 10 month glacier promo buildup?
 
If Pat Perez runs out of the woods in full Sting makeup, kneecaps Reed with a square strike wedge, and starts hitting bomb after bomb off the same tee box I'd tune in.
 
How bad must former US Open champion Michael Campbell's game be now for him not to get an invite to LIV?
 
What a great name: Ben Bye.

Also, the leaderboard with some catchy names and what? type stuff:

-Come What May
-Henri Du Plessis; duplicitous is one of my favorite words
-Koepka, but not Brooks Koepka
-And for a moment, I thought Laurie Carter? That was my 3rd grade teacher. Then I looked closer, oh Canter.

Hell, maybe I should apply to play on this tour. I mean I am worth a few million by virtue of wearing my CP3 jersey on the course. No?
 
Man I hope Hennie du Plessis wins this thing
 
The shotgun start makes the coverage a total mess - you have no idea what hole is where or who has what remaining in their round and there is no flow at all as to how the course plays. It's annoying in general for round 1, but when it's the final round and the scores are jumbled it's going to be real dumb. Guys will need a birdie or whatever to win but some will be on a 150 yard par 3 and others on a 500 yard par 5. Since it's simultaneous nobody will know what putts matter or where they stand. No drama of a final group walking up the 18th - some rando on the 5th hole will chip in and by like oh I won all while 10 fans applaud.
