Can’t remember who, but someone here said “WRXers only watch majors”…

This thread certainly not disproving that sentiment! 😂 

I promise to at least watch the back nine tomorrow. 😅

I'm just glad there is pro golf in MN, but I do wonder why Hazeltine didn't step up to be the yearly host.

Many many smart private clubs don't want a professional tour event every year. Playing this event at a TPC course is a no brainer for the PGA Tour.

Long story... To summarize, Hazeltine is really only interested in hosting majors. 3m also stepped up when TPC Twin Cities was first conceptualized to play sponsor for a Champions Tour event on the condition that as sponsors dropped, they'd get the option to host a PGA Tour event (at TPC). They passed on a few events including a FedEx playoff event because they preferred a full field event (easier for sponsors to make their money back with a full field) and a few others that didn't fit their preferred scheduling window. Then, of course, the PGA Tour shuffled up the schedule anyway and they got the short end of that stick (event used to be one of the last ones on the schedule for guys to quality for The Open, IIRC).

 

TPC Twin Cities is a decent track. Arnold Palmer and Tom Lehman did the initial design and Tom's group (with notes left by Arnold) finished the redesign for the 3m Open. The course needs wind to present a challenge to these guys though. When it's soft and there is no wind, the course is essentially defenseless.

Should be good unfortunately the Tour is once again unnecessarily and irritatingly teeing people off too early.

 

Attention Jay: I get done golfing around  6 typically at which time I park myself at the tv to watch the finish of the week's tour event. Ideally,  i like to see 5 or 6 holes.  That won't work well for me if the event is already finished or nearly finished because leaders teed off at 12:35.  Thanks, Your friend, bcjim

Reasonable request jim.  I mean, we are after all, the “fans”. The straws that stir the drink. You should hear back from them soon…..

I don’t watch a lot of side of majors so this doesn’t bother me. However, since most these guys have to travel and get to the next course, it makes sense they have earlier times for the leaders on sundays. A bummer for fans bits it’s logistics. It’s why most baseball games are early afternoon games on sundays.

Supposed to be some pretty major storms in the Twin Cities today, especially north metro (where TPC is). I'm a Sky Warm weather spotter and have already received numerous notifications indicating likely activation.

Silver lining. Should help get some of that nasty Canadian smoke out of the air.

I had a friend who was a member at Colonial CC in FW.  As such things go, he said the cost was very reasonable because they hosted a big tournament every year.  But there was some aggravation along with the money.

Akshay’s final round performances leave a lot to be desired.
