But will a longer format really engage the audience more? I feel like the excitement of a shorter format keeps viewers invested from start to finish.

22

Great point! While more holes can create drama, I worry it could lose some of the pacing that makes golf thrilling.

23

I just hope it doesn’t turn into a circus! If they can’t keep the sport professional, the format won’t matter. LIV has its work cut out for them.

24

Maybe LIV just needs a good PR strategy to show how these tournaments can enhance the players’ experience and fan engagement. Golf can definitely benefit from fresh perspectives.

25

It’s interesting to see Phil Mickelson suggesting a 72-hole format for LIV tournaments. It could attract more traditional golf fans who enjoy the classic structure of tournaments.

26

Absolutely! But I’m curious about how it will impact the pace of play. Will players still stick around for the full weekend?

27

I think introducing a 72-hole format could enhance the spectator experience. Fans love drama and longer tournaments may increase tensions and rivalries.

28

Yeah, drama is key! But will new fans embrace 72 holes? LIV needs to find the right balance to keep engagement high.

What about player fatigue, though? A full 72 holes can be grueling. Maybe LIV should also consider relaxing player commitment in some events?

32

That’s a valid point! The players might also need more time to adjust to such a demanding format.

33

Totally! Imagine the promotion they could do around it. They might ride the wave of ‘new golf’ while respecting traditions.

34

This proposal is also an exciting marketing strategy. Golf is shifting, and it needs to be more appealing for younger audiences! We want more engagement!

35

With this change, I wonder if golf will ever fully shake off the ‘new kid on the block’ vibe that LIV has had. Reflecting on it, the sport is evolving.
