The huge mound in the middle of the green. It turns so many putts into mini golf type of putts which makes the whole thing seem even more fake than it already is.

The green changes shape after each hole.

Yeah, I guess they are are trying for more precise shots. Definitely a mound in the middle more often than not.

The green is the same shape. They just rotate it for each hole. It spins on a hub.

Outside the Par 3s, the iron approach shots are all over hit. That's the biggest problem I find the pros have so far

I know it turns on a table but there are actuators under the green that change the slope as well. Unless I am wrong.

There are 60 pistons and plates under the greens that can adjust to make the green slopes change numerous ways.

ATL takes match one last night, came down to 5 foot putts between Cantlay and Schauffle, X missed his.

It's because they are using Tigers launch monitors. There are much better launch monitors out there that are more accurate and would be much better for the actual league. If anything, it's actually bad advertising for that brand.

It also made for the best putt of the playoffs LINK

They talked about that a lot early, but I watched most of the matches, and every green was the same; one big plateau in the middle with flatter areas on the wings. I don't know if the piston thing worked as they described and they just oversold it or if they realized they couldn't change the greens as much as they wanted.
