Admittedly might be the height of hypocrisy but while I enjoy wearing shorts and blaring my How Long by Ace through my speaker as I make it through 18, that's not what I want to see as the professionals play for millions. What little I've seen of LIV golf is farcical. Its SAE golf with Eddie Money on stage. That's not serious golf IMHO.
There is no room to put private lots around the golf course and the covenants inside the gates of the TPC Sawgrass prohibit that. And all of the retails business outside the gate zealously have people towed if they think they're parking there to walk to the tournament. They need a large satellite lot and a shuttle but no one's stepping up.Friday/Saturday is $125, Thursday/Sunday is $75. There is free parking.
Players Championship regular tix are $88-99 on tournament days and parking passes are $45 (not sure if there's any way around that).
Maybe I'm just old. Haven't bought golf tickets in more than 20 years. But anything over $100 for a regular Tour stop seems like a lot, especially since you're gonna eat and drink too and those prices ain't like Augusta.
