I was hoping to actually dive in and rewatch the Baltusrol Jimmy Walker one this week, but it wasn't available on YouTube, so I couldn't go back into the memories for that one.
Yeah, just from a venue standpoint, I think if you're picking... Inevitably, the PGA is picking up scraps from the USGA.
The USGA gets the best venues in America.
And if this tournament stays in America before our...
international audience screams that it should not be in America.
I don't disagree, but it is conducted by the Professional Golfers Association of America.
So that is one barrier to it going.
But as it currently stands, if you are trying to pick off venues, there are significantly more
really good venues that the USGA does not go to in the Pacific Northwest, the upper Midwest, and Northeast.
And all of those areas, and then also, yeah, like the whole Rust Belt also, but all of those areas are better to host in August than May.
Not to mention the other aspect of this,
is we're barely coming off the Masters.
And you don't get a lot of buzz because you're on the backside of the biggest tournament of the year.
And sandwiched between the biggest tournament of the year and the National Open of the U.S.
So if you're talking about just specifically U.S.
buzz...
It is just a very difficult spot to be in.
So who's up next?
Who wants to go?
Who wants to throw one in here?
