Okay, so I was super curious about this whole “Farmers Open starting on Wednesday” thing. I mean, golf tournaments usually kick off on Thursdays, right? So, I dove in to figure out what was up.
Digging for Answers
First, I hit up Google. Just a simple search, nothing fancy. I typed in “why is the farmers open starting on wednesday” and scrolled through the results.
I found some articles talking about it. And It turns out it all has to do with the NFL playoffs, or some big football.
Putting the Pieces Together
So, here’s the deal, as far as I can gather:
- Normally, golf tournaments run Thursday to Sunday.
- The NFL playoffs have huge games on the weekend.
- The Farmers Insurance Open shifted its schedule to avoid a head-to-head clash with the NFL.
- That’s why they moved the whole thing up a day, starting on Wednesday and finishing on Saturday.
Basically, they wanted to make sure golf fans could enjoy the tournament and the football games. Smart move, I guess!
My Takeaway
It’s all about TV ratings and making sure people can watch what they want. It’s a little unusual, but it makes sense. I’m just glad I figured it out! I was really scratching my head there for a minute.
I thought about writting all these down, and decided to share it!
