  Should be very interesting to watch how they will handle and cope with the new platform. That alone is fully worth watching the event on live.

  Congrats and good luck to all the contenders!

  Champ, 

  Not to sound stupid about social media, which I am, and since I am not going to be up at 1 AM ET Thursday, will those links work after the tournament ends?

  Figuring 60-90 minutes per game, 3 rounds, it should be over before I wake up so I'm thinking re-runs.

  Tom.

  There is 3 games to be played first for the round robin.  Then a play in.  Then semi finals. Then finals.  It will probably be on all day

  Spoiler alert: For me it will go very badly :) Still looking forward to it, of course!

  Here is the schedule for those unfamiliar with the format: The players will be divided into two groups. Winners go through to the semis, #2 and #3 play for the remaining two spots. Only the "grand final" is 18 holes, rest 9.

  OMG... (@.@) That's one heck of a schedule, Simon. I think WGT should increase the purse and pay you guys more! LOL

  Nah, I know you'll do just fine. It's not the platform that made you and other contenders in the event great. You guys are the ones who will excel no matter what.

  Again, good luck and above all, enjoy! :-)

  The one thing I have gathered from watching previous events, is the full dose of reality that sets in. Just when you think you have improved your game, you watch these amazing players and realize that you, being a mere mortal, have so much room to improve.

  LOL

  I get that feeling as well. It's always wonderful and phenomenal to watch people with natural & exceptional talents, but it can be also depressing as hell, making me feel so petit. LOL
