Okay, so I was digging into this whole Farmers Insurance Open starting on a Wednesday thing, and let me tell you, it was a bit of a rabbit hole. Here’s how I figured it out:
First, I started with a simple search. Just typed in “why farmers open wednesday” into the search bar. I got a bunch of articles, but most of them just stated that it started on Wednesday, not why.
My Research Process:
- Initial Search: Basic searches, lots of fluff, no real answers.
- Deeper Dive: I started looking at golf news sites and tournament schedules. I figured they might have some insider info.
- Found it!: finally, I found a website that was takling about it!
Then after some reading, I realized, It’s all about avoiding a clash with the NFL’s conference championship games on Sunday. I mean, who wants to compete with that? The Farmers Insurance Open moved its schedule so golf fans wouldn’t have to choose between watching the tournament and the football games.
So, basically, they shifted the whole thing earlier in the week. Wednesday start, Saturday finish. Problem solved! Everyone gets to watch their favorite sport without missing out.
It was actually pretty simple once I found the right information. Sometimes the most obvious answers are hidden behind a bunch of less helpful stuff. It might be that the TV networks want their broadcasting to finish Saturday, and leave Sunday completely to NFL, so that everyone will be happy and they can make the most money!
