The PGA Championship is one of golf's four majors, but could it be even better? We debate the idea of moving the tournament outside of the United States to truly grow the game on a global scale.
Transcript
00:00if you had sort of free reign johnny to improve the pga championship in any way what is it that
00:07you would do i think the most obvious thing to do is to take it around the world just it
00:12well
00:12firstly it probably has to move where you move it to as anyone's guess but it be like the be
00:18all and
00:18end all it has to move because i know that the corporate dollar is in america and all the rest
00:22of it but for example south korea i believe this is correct south korea uh the population of south
00:29korea spends the most on golf per person in the world that is an incredibly passionate golf market
00:37as live has proved again south south africa australia as live has proved and the deep world tour has been
00:45going down there for years those there are just there's so much so many obvious places to take
00:50the pga championship of the pga of america you know team up with the pga um and then and then
00:58it moves
00:59because it would be so cool i know there are i know there are logistical differences yeah the time
01:04is sometimes not going to work um you know yeah i mean the audience is always going to be there
01:09in
01:09terms of people on the ground you would have thought if you take it to the right places okay the
01:13tv might
01:14not work but equally there are so many amazing golf courses around the world and if everyone that bangs
01:20on about wanting to grow the game truly wants to grow the game well you know i don't want to
01:26keep going
01:26back to live and there are several reasons why i'm not a huge fan of it but it's proved that
01:31what
01:32the future could look like if we if if golf and hasn't golf has a nasty habit of getting stuck
01:36in its
01:36ways and if it continues to do that it will get stuck down you know a dark avenue it needs
01:45to be
01:45progressive it needs to be brave it needs to take some risks it's hardly the biggest risk in the world
01:52to take the pga to australia which is a mad passionate crowd um it's you know some of the
01:59best golf courses in the world you take it to royal melbourne like what's what's the go right okay
02:04it's not going to be at the best time in america but you know there are 200 countries in the
02:09world
02:09it's not just america so um i would say that if it's framed properly and if there's some thought
02:20goes into it which is possible um taking the pga championship around the world is it's just such
02:27an easy win um and i personally would love to see that happen
