It's the red headed step child major week.

PGA in May will be cool for the new Friscoe course, no other good future sites coming up besides that. I want it back in August.
-
I preferred the rhythm of the old season as well. Players in May. PGA in August. Used to wrap with the Firestone tourney and the Tour championship and be done anyway before football
The Fed Ex Cup has never really been something I care about all that much -
The PGA is just strange to me because the courses they tend to play are good but I'm not sure I'd consider them great and I really am not a fan of places like Quail Hollow that are regular tour stops pop back up to host majors
It's definitely the one major where my weekend interest is completely tied to what the leaderboard looks like -
They should play the whole Fedex Cup on the west coast. Courses are all nice and baked out and no thunderstorms and humidity like basically everywhere else in August. NAPA event is awesome every year in September because of that. Primetime viewing window also.RaceBannon said:I preferred the rhythm of the old season as well. Players in May. PGA in August.

Frost warning Thursday morning
New York in May -
I hear the greens are firm at Chambers Bay...

They should book it for 2035 or something then. But Chambers would be awesome in August. The amount of years these events get booked out in advance is a problem. The US open has like one spot open in the next 10 years. PGA is booked out through 2034 I think. Pinehurst and Pebble each like 4-5 spots in the next 20, no thanks on that many.Fishpo31 said:I hear the greens are firm at Chambers Bay...

Once every 10 years was the standard for Pebble and the like. Chambers got killed on social media but I liked it

The city of University Place shot themselves in the dick by not green lighting new development to bring in resorts and hotels around the course. $200 million, annually, estimated in revenue for the area and they are too stupid to get it done. I doubt Chambers gets another big event if they don't figure that out. The area around the course is all housing and it's a total bitch to get in and out of there.Bob_C said:
