This Tournament Has The Feel Of A Major
“This Tournament Has The Feel of A Major.”
These are words that ought to be banned from the lexicon of every golf announcer. The Byron Nelson “had the feel of a major.” The Memorial “has the feel of a major”. So does the LPGA’s Michelob Ultra Open At Kingsmill. And the Shoprite.
In fact, I’ve heard an announcer say that the present tournament “has the feel of a major” at least once during every event I’ve watched this year.
I know the talking heads want to say something complementary about the tournament of the week, but they can’t ALL feel like a major. If they do, then what exactly makes a major a major?
If I hear them say that inane line one more time at a non-major, I swear I’m turning off the sound.

Well, there are a couple of WGC events later in the year and the Tour Championship coming up. You might not want to listen during those events. LOL.
And let’s not forget the Ryder Cup. But it’s covered by NBC. Johnny Miller wouldn’t say anything like that.

Funny. I heard just the opposite. I heard announces during the Masters saying “this feels like the 84 lumber classic”....
