Not sure about that. Some of the biggest names made the move. Dustin Johnson, Brooks Koeopka, up and comer Cam Smith. Not a retirement crew.

I did watch it for a few minutes. The announcing was contrived. In order to understand what was going on you needed to know what the teams were and who was on the teams. It was boring The PGA is easy to understand.
