cnosil Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I have no particular favorites as I don't think I could name 5 tournaments outside the majors. My least favorites would be any tournament with celebrities/non pro golfers participating in the weekly event. 3 1 Quote Driver: G400 Max 9* w/ KBS Tour Driven Fairway: TS3 15* w/Project X Hzardous Smoke Hybrids: 915H 21* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype 915H 24* w/KBS Tour Graphite Hybrid Prototype Irons: TR20V 6-11 w/Vizard TR20-85 Graphite Wedge: 54/12D, 60/8M w/:Accra iWedge 90 Graphite Putter: mFGP2 Backups: TM-180, Milled Collection RSX 2, Bellum Winmore 787, Directed Force 2.1 Member: MGS Hitsquad since 2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STUDque Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I like the Genesis because of Riv and the players they get. Lukewarm on Bay Hill but it’s still more enjoyable than the rest of the overly corporate events that I’m mostly meh on. The match play and team events are cool but I always have a hard time caring about them more than watching results. I do, however, really enjoy the playoffs. I think they’re great watching guys try to earn their way into more events with bigger prizes and seeing the lower tier guys fight for following-year exemptions. Lots of good story lines that time of year. 5 Quote In my Pisa, riding on a 3.5+ G410+ EXS 5W King F7 Hy i500 5-GW Equalizer 56/60 Heppler Ketsch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacassem Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Like @cnosili couldn’t name many outside the big ones. this year is actually one of the only years I’ve really watched weekly (fantasy). I’ve always enjoyed watching just never actually sat down to watch besides the big dogs. I have a soft spot for what was the EMC/Dell championship since it is played at TPC Boston and have been going the past few years, every other now 3 Quote Check out my reviews: G710 Irons Official Review MC Shaft & V Series Putter Official Review WITB: Weapons of grass destruction (link to WITB) Traverse is filled with all this shiny metal and tracked by RadSpeed 8* - MotoreX F1 6X SIM 3W - Project X HZRDUS Green U505 Driving Iron 17* - Project X HZRDUS Black SpeedZone 4H - Project X HZRDUS Black 2022 King Forged Tec's 4-PW - KBS $ Tape 130 48 (SM8), 52 & 60 (SM7) - Nippon Modus 125 S ER2VI PROV1X #19 Thank you to all those that have served/are serving and God Bless America Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GolfSpy_APH Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I don't usually make a effort to watch much outside of the Majors and although I can name several tournaments it is mainly all fantasy related as to what I take the extra effort to watch. Riv is one I have watched and enjoyed in the past. Personally I just like seeing new and different courses. That is what attracts me to most events and what I look forward to watching vs following certain players or events. 4 Quote as of Oct 31, 2022 (Past WITB) Driver: TBD: Follow here: Driver Shootout!

juspoole Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 Usually dependent on the field, time of year, and the golf course. I'm watching more golf leading up to the Masters and really catch the bug around the Waste Mgt for the upcoming year. The Players Championship Memorial Waste Management Bay Hill Probably a couple others I cannot think of, but those are the main ones that spring to mind. I do like to watch Riveria and Pebble Beach tourney's too. Oh and also since the one at Harbour Town since we get down to Hilton Head from time to time and know the area/course. 3 Quote Driver: Mavrik Sub Zero 9* (Set to 10) Ventus Blue 6X 2 Hybrid: TSI3 Hybrid Tensei Blue 80 X (17.25*) 3 Hybrid 818 H2 Hybrid Hzrdus RDX Black 6.5 (20.5*) 4 Iron - T200 4 Iron Graphite Design Tour AD IZ X Hybrid Shaft Irons 5-PW: T100-S 5 - GW KBS Tour 130 X Gap/Sand Wedge: Vokey SM6 49* SM8 54* Lob Wedge: Jaws 5 Wedge 58* DG Tour Issue Stiff Putter: Phantom 5.5 34" Pro Platinum Newport 2 35" Taylormade Tour Black Spider 34" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bens197 Posted May 29, 2021 Share Posted May 29, 2021 I have two. The Safeway is one that I love because it's Napa and I have family that lives up there on the course (Silverado). The other one is the Genesis. For me, it's the "alright, we're about ready to get this season going." 2 1 Quote Titleist TSI3 LAGolf DJ 65 5 TaylorMade SIM2 3 wood Fujilkura Ventus Blue 7-X Mizuno HMB MP20 3i Nippon Modus 3 120S Mizuno Pro 223 4-P Nippon Modus 3 115X Vokey SM8 50, SM9 54 & 60 Nippon Modus 3 120s L.A.B.

HardcoreLooper Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 It's about the courses for me. Riviera. Wish it were still the LA Open. Great move by the LPGA to grab that name. Harbour Town. Love watching the pros play that golf course. Houston Open at Memorial Park was pretty cool. Waialae. Love getting to see a Raynor design on tv. Looking forward to Congaree I miss the PGA tour event at Kingsmill but love the LPGA event there. Hope to see it live again next year! 2 Quote What's in the bag: Driver - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 3 Wood (16*) - F8 - Aldila NV Blue 60 ( S ) 3 Hybrid (19*) - RBZ 4i - PW - D7 Forged - Recoil 760 ( S ) GW - LW - F8 - N.S.

aerospace_ray Posted May 30, 2021 Share Posted May 30, 2021 I like the John Deer tournament for seeing all the various John Deer tractors, mowers. All the ones I can't have but wish I had . Very much like St. Jude tournament for what it represents and supports. The Memorial well its Jack's tournament and condition is immaculate and beautiful much like Augusta. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No right or wrong answers! The Players- it is the equivalent of a major, and love seeing them take on Sawgrass The Northern Trust- Because I like seeing the Northeast courses, and great field The Memorial- Always a good field on a fun course to watch, and it's good to see Jack so much all weekend The Tour Championship- The season capper before the Ryder or President's Cup events. Would probably rate it higher if it were on a better course Tie: RSM- an odd one, but I love that Sea Island course and it is fun to occasionally watch some of the non-superstars compete, and The AT&T- Seeing Pebble and Spyglass in February starts to get me thinking about getting out on the course again in a few weeks, and what great courses to watch in the middle of winter 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No right or wrong answers! I agree with a couple people on the Waste Management. I love watching this tournament. I love the throwing gifts into the stands. I loved watching the caddie races when they were allowed to do it. I think its nice at least once a year to see golf and pro golfers, not be so stuffy, and not take themselves too seriously. I watch almost all of them, but I honestly love watching the European Tour Events. The wide variety of landscapes you get to observe watching their events from S. Africa, to Morocco, to Sweden, Germany, I just enjoy. 1 Quote Driver: Cobra King Speedzone Irons: Mavrik 4-GW Wedges: CG-14 56 & RTX 52 Putter: Scottsdale Wolverine Woods: Gigagolf 3W, 2H, 3H Ball: Srixon Z-Star XV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revkev Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I like the Players and Valspar because I know the courses, well. Beyond that I’m watching any tournament without celebrity amateurs involved when I have time and TV availability. That means I tend to watch as much European Tour golf as PGA tour.

sixcat Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 I'm going to take this in a little different direction. In order of my preference...... Irish Open Scottish Open Alfred Dunhill Links Championship BMW PGA Championship Players Championship The first four are better than any regular PGA Tour event, in my opinion. And it isn't close!
