Namely, the PGA Tour announced changes a few days ago, saying that there will be fewer commercials during the broadcast, while more emphasis will be placed on conversations between players and caddies. Although some are against such things, the 35-year-old golfer thinks it's a great thing for golf.
Rory is becoming a person more and more open to innovations in the world of golf, saying that such changes are what drives and makes fans happy. The Northern Irishman is aware that fans want to hear the conversations, to feel a touch of the emotions felt by caddies and golfers during major tournaments.
Yeah, I mean I think it's great for the game. I think it's great for the core golf fan, the people that want to hear that sort of stuff. They want to hear the strategy, they want to hear a player and a caddie talk through what sort of shot they're going to hit, how they're going to play it. Anything that provides more context to what we're doing out there I think is a really good thing.- he said, as quoted by Golf Monthly.
