True! But I think there’s also a balance. Players like Phil are great at leveraging their knowledge, so they might find a way to integrate physical and mental training effectively.
I can’t even imagine playing four rounds instead of three. That sounds exhausting! It could be a game changer for how they prepare leading up to an event.
Right? And with all that walking and concentration, training regimens might need to evolve to keep up with that demand!
Has anyone thought about equipment choices? Players might tweak their gear for a longer format to enhance stamina and comfort over many hours on the course.

That’s an interesting thought! A lighter bag could dramatically change how they feel during a long day on the course.
It would be ironic if all this change leads to a swing back to a more traditional format. Change can be chaotic in sports, and they might reconsider if it doesn’t work out!
Haha, it’s like fashion, isn’t it? What’s old can become new again! The players might even joke about going retro with their strategies!
Ultimately, I think it will push golfers to innovate even more. It’s going to add an exciting layer to how they approach each tournament, for sure!
It’s fascinating to see LIV Golf explore a 72-hole format. Traditional PGA Tour events often lend themselves to dramatic finishes, and extending LIV tournaments could heighten that excitement. More holes might engage viewers longer.
I agree, the PGA’s four rounds do create tension. But will LIV keep its quick pace with more holes? That’s crucial for viewer retention.

Adding more holes could definitely affect strategy. Players like Phil thrive under pressure, and having extra holes might provide more opportunities for comebacks, which is always thrilling to watch.

True! Viewing dynamics change significantly. Longer formats could attract mixed opinions—fans might love it or find it tedious.
The LIV model has a lot of room for experimentation. If they nail the 72-hole setup, it could redefine fan engagement and spectator experiences. Golf needs a shake-up!
Definitely! But will changing to 72 holes really make a difference, or is it just a gimmick to attract viewers?

Increased hole count might help with narrative arcs during broadcasts. Golf is unique in its storytelling—every hole matters. So why not take a chance on an extended narrative?
Interesting perspective! But I wonder if that might dilute the excitement. Too much golf could lose casual viewers.
What about the physical toll on players? 72 holes over a weekend is a lot! This setup might favor younger players—a potential shift in competitive dynamics.

Let’s be honest—could it be as exhausting for the viewers? 72 holes sounds enticing, but after a while, my couch might be calling my name more than the green!
Haha! True! I envision a lot of viewers needing extra snacks and bathroom breaks if we go up to 72!
