Throughout the 2023 U.S. Open at Los Angeles Country Club, a trend has emerged for those of us on the East Coast.
We’re getting major championship golf … in primetime. That’s right, when it’s evening time? They’re still playing!
Now, that can only happen if the tournament is on the West Coast, or maybe even in mountain time. But, hey, maybe this is the start of a trend that the golf community can think about way down the road as tournament organizers plan very much ahead (remember, most of the majors have locations already).
Still, here’s a roundup of fan reaction to primetime major golf:

Primetime major championship golf is SO good. If you’re even a marginal golf fan, this is an absolute blast.

There’s a lot of lowerish looking scores coming out of these afternoon players and I’m all for it
Also, petition to have all majors be on the west coast? Primetime major championship golf is spectacular and I’m all about it. #USOpen #PGATour
