PGA Tour There is a serious rhythm of the game This should be addressed soon.
Notifier of CBS Sports in the course Dottie Pepper rebuked the best For the cruel rhythm of the last round at the Farmers Insurance Open last week, calling for players to be “respectful” of “fans, broadcasting and other competitors”.
The problem increased his head again on Sunday at Pebble Beach.
During the last round of AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-AM, Tom Kim became the last golf player to face the anger of his slow game. This time, it was Frank Nobloo of Golf Channel and others calling Kim to take over a minute to hit a shot in the sixth PAR-5 hole.
Kim rose up wiping the ball in the rock sketch and had to get a drop, which led to several nodes from the transmission.
“A little less Waggle may have helped,” said one broadcaster.
“It’s not worth waiting,” Chimed Nobilo.
In general, it took over 40 seconds to address his ball and then the other 25 to get a pace.
PGA Tour can work to reduce fields and condensation of time, but the easiest adjustment for the slow issue is to start the shock players. If you hit them on the score card and, by extending, their wallet, they will have an incentive to get the pace.
Rounds similar to slogan and endless wires will continue until the PGA Tour begins regulating rhythm rhythm rules, and their ratings can continue to suffer until they realize that they have to speed up things to succeed in an era where attention is the coin.
