Call it what you will, a Premier Golf League or a Super Golf League, the question many fans are asking is WHO needs it? Some justify the launch of a new league, saying that having it will help to grow golf, a game many say needs to be “revolutionized.”
Organizers are trying to launch the new league by the start of 2023, and they are planning to have some of the game’s top players on board to draw maximum attention.
However, over the last few weeks, top players like Phil Mickelson, have provided a timely reminder that the game actually doesn’t need to be shaken up on the tournament front to generate more interest.
Mickelson, at age 50, has recently become the game’s oldest major winner, and in Europe the Tour has delivered first-time triumphs for Richard Bland, Marcus Armitage and now Northern Ireland’s Jonathan Caldwell in the inaugural Scandinavian Mixed event. Also, since September, 22-year-old South African Garrick Higgo just backed up three European Tour wins with a breakthrough win on the PGA Tour.
So, with these ongoing accomplishments the Premier Golf League could quickly get boring because the beauty of golf is that so many people aren’t only interested in Tiger Woods, Dustin Johnson, Jon Rahm, Rory McIlroy, Bryson DeChambeau and the other top players.
So, should a Premier Golf League arise, it will be the fans will who will be the judge of either its productive, long-term existence with furthering the growth of the game of golf, or the Premier Golf League will undergo a quick demise.
