Pros Skipping The Open At Tallahassee | Grip Locked Clips
The Pros are Skipping the Open at Tallahassee: A Cautionary Tale for Golfers. This weekend's Masters tournament in Augusta is expected to be chaotic due to a large number of players opting out of the Open at Tallahassee instead. The decision to skip the smaller event in Florida comes with its own set of challenges, particularly for those traveling from across the country or internationally. With the Open at Tallahassee ending on Sunday and tournament prep beginning on Monday, players are forced to choose between sacrificing extra time for potential advantages or driving down to Augusta earlier to prepare. For players who rely on RVs or vans for competition preparation, the added complexity of navigating Florida's roads to return to Augusta is an added concern. The Masters event has already seen its share of logistical headaches in recent years, including sold-out hotels and accommodation shortages during major tournaments like the LPGA Championship at Augusta National Golf Club.
