shafts would be too long, they'd bend for sure as you wrapped it around Micklesons fat head.

2 iron all the way for me with an extra stiff shaft (ooo errrr)

I think you could cave someone's head in fairly swiftly with one decisive blow, especially those funky spiky looking ones they use now, but even the pointy end of a Scotty Cameron would do the trick. Bryson and other long putter users may have to adjust their fighting stance to get the correct purchase however

I'm already warming to this new format. Good point on the extended putters, decent for defence ****e for offence.

Might put myself forward as a potential pundit?

Something like this?

Rule 2.

i. Field is split into teams of 4 players.

ii. Players choose 1 (one) selected club from golf bag.

ii. Players wield selected club as weapon and commence fight to death towards nominated tee. Maximum 3 competitors.

iii. Survivors commence match play.

iiii. Additional point(s) if random political prisoner harmed on way to tee.

Is that what 'shotgun starts' means? How does that work then..

Haha I had no idea they were ****ing with the format like that. What a joke. It'll surely die on its arse.

Radical. They mentioned something about everyone teeing off at once also?

Like the start of the Le mans grand prix?

It's 3 rounds rather than 4 isn't it? An absolutely wild change in format, not sure how they came up with it

edit: it's a little more different than that to be fair https://www.livgolf.com/format

Aside from the obvious issues relating to Saudi's, I don't understand the whole concept.

Where are they going to play? Surely no PGA/Euro courses will let them play tournaments there? So they're stuck playing in the Middle East?

Same, I only realised this morning that the tournament is a different format?

I hope the media keep on them long term with the human rights abuse questions, as the platitudes they are responding with will not work forever. The future success surely requires press buy in at some point.

Greed.

Golf courses are privately owned aren’t they, guess the risk is the tours remove them as destinations but if the money is right I doubt they’ll care

Centurion they’re playing this week is a new(ish) course in the same style as Queenwood which effect doesn’t exist as a golf course they make it so exclusive

The way they're all jumping ship now he must be licking his lips at the thought of absolutely cleaning up at all the Majors

I saw the Hulk and Johnson have jumped over now too.
