The Case for a Pro-Golf All-Star Game

All the recent talk of how great the NHL’s 4 Nations Face Off was—and how awful The NBA All-Star weekend has become—shines a light on the fact that we don’t have one in our sport.

Let’s change that. These aren’t just the best players in the world at 72-hole stroke play. They’re the best at every aspect of the game, and it’s time for us to show that off. The encouraging part is it wouldn’t even be that difficult to pull off. You could pre-record it in one night, and shoot all the content on one driving range/short-game facility that could easily be set up for this specific purpose.

Here's an incomplete list of some possible events:

• Long drive competition
• Highest drive competition

• Lowest drive that still carries 250
• Closest to the pin from 100/150/200/250 yards
• Big Break glass-breaking competition
• Chipping competition to ridiculous pins
• Putting competition on insane green
• Mandatory slinger competition, a closest-to-pin but they to hit around walls

The best players on the planet are competitive animals. They’ll relish the challenge to perform under the lights and show off a different skillset than what’s needed to navigate Bay Hill. It’s the perfect opportunity to blend PGA TOUR golf with YouTube-ey skills competitions. The clips would absolutely crush on social media. It feels like a no brainer.
