    Okay, so last weekend we got to watch the Phoenix Open with crowds of only 5,000 per day vs the typical average of over 200,000. It certainly was an interesting tournament and if you take away the story of the crowds, the golf itself had a ton of stories. Rory made his first appearance and finally figured out the course on Sunday by that was too late. Steve Stricker (the old guy) was playing great and threatening the win. Jordan Speith showed flashes of his past championship talents with a super round on Saturday only to fade away on Sunday. And Brooks Koepka snuck through the crowded leaderboard and took the trophy home while everyone was standing there wondering what just happened :) Now it is time for the Pebble Beach Pro-Am. A tournament that always brought in stars from stage, screen, and other sports venues to play along side the golf pros to provide entertainment in a different manner beyond their golfing skills. It will be interesting to see how they can modify the tournament given the pandemic limitations. Beyond the entertainment value, I always love watching them play at Pebble... So Many great holes !

    i missed the crowds at the WM but I was happy that some did get to attend. I love the roar of the crowd at 16 for a great tee shot

    Pebble will be interesting. Last I heard they were not having the AMs compete. I enjoyed seeing the variety of AM golfers from Bill Murray to various country music artists to Condoleezza Rice

    I will still watch, hope the weather is good, but will miss the amateurs

    I really enjoy watching the Pebble Beach Pro-Am, but, would be nice if they enlisted new celebrities as it seems it is the same ones year after year. Just my 2 cents.

    We were at the AT&T 2 years ago. That course is so beautiful. I really enjoy watching the tournament and hopefully the weather is as perfect as it was in Phoenix.

    I am on the fence. I really like seeing the expanded views of some of these amazing courses. But I do miss the roars of the crowds and I think it takes some of the competitive pressure off the leaders which may or may not be a good thing. But, the crowds are slowly increasing. Maybe there is a middle ground.
