PGA Tour may want to continue to skip Doral(tv ratings are now in-FAILURE)

I don't agree.

They can make the course play harder.

The crowd is definitely dead. Cam dog walking the field isn’t doing the broadcast any favors either.

They had the course playing firm and fast yesterday, but the rain softening it up and no wind has taken any bite it had out today.

I agree. The course doesn’t do anything for me.

Rolapp needs to be taking notes. The only thing I didn’t like about his presser at the Players was the desire to go to big markets just to be in big markets. I’m not a fan of that thought process.

Go to the iconic courses that draw a solid crowd and the product will take care of itself.

What don’t you agree with? The crowds are awful man. Miami did not support the event. They shouldn’t get it back

1st time back and the weather been iffy.

Promote it correctly and the crowds will be there. Rory and a few others missing the event hurt.

It's easy enough to toughen up the course.

Tiger and Phil had a epic battle on this course. The course is fine.

You do realize they teed off early to avoid weather, right?

Thurs, Friday, and Saturday were horrifically attended as well.

There isn’t any hiding from this . The Zurich had worse overall weather as well. There isn’t an excuse for these crowds

A new deeper tee box on 18 is needed to add drama.

The course rating is 77.4 and slope 146.

Crowds could be limited due to the President being there.

Anyone ever play Colony West in the Miami area ?

We played there in the late it's. It was a brute of a course. Played really long from the tips and it seemed like it has a hundred bunkers.

The Pro told us that the Nike Tour back then said it was too hard lol..

The people that matter most are the players. Plenty of top 30 OWGR types and following top 50 FedEx last season.

These types avoid NOLA and the Zurich like the plague. Nobody is talking about eliminating Doral like the Zurich and the purse is nearly a double.

The hardest hole at Trump National Doral is the 18th hole on the Blue Monster course. It is a 473-486 yard par-4 known as one of the toughest finishing holes on the PGA Tour, often playing over a half-stroke over par due to a narrow fairway, forced carry over water, and left-to-right wind.

Again maybe if they put some Velociraptors in the bushes it would be hard enough.
