The PGA Tour Thread

[Kelsey86]

Just cant see it on Kayo.. thought it might be hidden somewhere else.

I think they show it live on channel 503, but it doesn't show up in the golf category with all the other live events and replays for some reason.

Maybe try the History Channel?

The last couple of events on Kayo haven't been switching over to golf channel/CBS like they used to, it's just been staying on the ESPN coverage the whole time. Doesn't bother me as they don't have all the peripheral crap on their coverage but wondering what the reason behind it is?

[jimandr]

I noticed that too.
Last event I heard the announcer say something like 'the domestic broadcaster is interviewing xxx, here's what he had to say', which implies that ESPN has some sort of world feed deal happening with either the PGA tour or with individual networks.
The quality of the commentary isn't much better, but we don't seem to get as much external US centric stuff as we normally get.

WA gets in done. Go Min.

The same was said a number of times today, maybe Foxtel took a cheaper deal with ESPN.

His pi$$take of using Aimpoint to read the final putt was very funny.

So much better. Aint great - but so much better with out all the sponsorship nonsense.. and endless USA related gaff.

Like what college they went to.

Yeah I definitely agree there. Certainly didn't miss all the sponsor crap during the players or whenever it stopped switching. Keeps the flow of the coverage better as well if I watch a full day of it, admittedly that's a rare occurrence, especially with footy season.

It isn't just our imaginations. There is a PGA Tour World Feed. Started at the Players.

It will be interesting whether this will apply at The Masters, which obviously isn't a PGA Tour controlled event. It would be devastating if we didn't get to hear Jim Nantz say his little cliche phrase as the winner makes the final putt (and, to be fair, he actually does a pretty good job in that moment most years).

It would be better if Luke Elvy was calling the action

[Kelsey86]

Well there ya go.
I watched the last round of the Texas open the other day, nice to hear Radar out there

So good to hear him... and he is so good in the flesh too.

absolute legend and fantastic player too.

I've never met him myself but from what I've heard in interviews and things he seems like a good bloke. I love his quirky commentary, might actually watch a bit more PGA tour with this new feed.

Good to see you have finally come around SMS. Without doubt, Australia's best golf analyst.

Was cam taking the piss with that jacket on the range. Can't think of anything more uncomfortable to swing in.

[goughy]

Probably custom made so he could!

Yes…a beer induced promise!

Why is Sergio dressed like Ronald McDonald ?

[pt73]

Why is Sergio dressed like Ronald McDonald ?

Who knows, it makes Jason Day's outfit last year look normal. It looked like he had hi vis on.

[jimandr]

Why is Sergio dressed like Ronald McDonald ?

The commentators said he was doing Spanish flag colours in honour of his 100th major, apparently. He certainly stood out from the crowd.

I won't be rushing out to buy the same outfit, or a green and gold variant.

What about Fred Couples. What a legend.

[damoocow]

Sergio and Cam Smith's clothes pale into insignificance compared to Mickelson's nike clown shoes.

[TheNuclearOne]

Juicy.
