Dottie Pepper raised the pace-of-play issue during CBS's broadcast at the Farmers Insurance Open, emphasizing the need for respect toward fellow competitors and fans. The slow play problem has long plagued professional golf, but current dynamics show a growing tension between players and viewers. Fans are exposed to faster-paced formats like TGL, only to return to slow tournament play, affecting their experiences. The players themselves are aware of the challenges and frustrations surrounding this ongoing issue, hinting at potential eagerness for solutions.
I think we're starting to need a new word to talk about this pace-of-play issue, and it's respect for your fellow competitors, for the fans, for broadcasts.
Golf audiences are watching TGL's shot-clock tick down from 40 to zero...then turns on their TV on Sunday to tournament leaders teeing off at 2 p.m., and their 7 p.m. dinner reservation is suddenly in jeopardy.
