Would you watch a Professional Mixed Doubles Tournament. Top 25 professional men and women golfers. names put in a hat and draw for partners...

I will watch anything with tiger in it lol... In all honesty that would be an awesome event... I would definately watch it...

This is the kind of stuff that golf is missing. It needs to be a regular season event, not silly season, and a prize fund worthy enough to attracting most of the top names, but it can be done. I'd like to see a lot of the more traditional or older type games played -- 4 ball, alternate shot, more match play, etc. Stroke play, every week on courses that all look pretty similar is boring, and I think that the TV ratings pretty much reflect that. And if not the ratings, the number of commercials that are on modern telecasts, we see 1 putt, then 1 drive, then another putt, then 5 more minutes of commercials... if the vanilla golf isn't driving viewers away, then the golf to commercial ratio surely is.

Sounds very interesting. I would definitely watch!

Way to go. Would create plenty of interest and the format could revolve around a mixture of foursomes , stroke and matchplay. Great idea.

I agree... sounds interesting. Professional golf is interesting because the venues are much different from week to week than say football, but the format for tournaments is so static. All the majors are medal play. The playoffs are medal play. Really, the Accenture Match Play and the Skins game are the only real variations. Do they still play that tourney with the modified Stableford scoring?

If they did a tourney like that, it would have to count for Tour earnings and tour statistics, with some points towards the WGR. Otherwise, it would be a novelty with no real meaning and most players would treat it like a Pro-Am.
