Match play formats, such as the Ryder Cup, offer a more engaging viewing experience than traditional stroke play. The PGA Tour's approach to event scheduling has become more scattered, affecting audience familiarity and engagement. Players' increasing focus on financial rewards may detract from the competitive spirit of events like the Ryder Cup. Women in golf face unique challenges in balancing careers with family, leading to shorter professional timelines.
