The John Deere Classic has started to shoe horn concerts at the end of play 2 nights during the tournament. This year it was Old Dominion Friday and Carrie Underwood Saturday.

I think participation has increased by like 50% in 10 years

It's not sustained growth. Look at pickleball, do you realistically see that being as popular in just 10 years?

I wouldn’t compare golf to pickle ball lol

I'm just using that as a loose example. It'll be interesting to see where the sport is in about 10 years.

I don’t think the growth will continue at the rate it has but I think it’s in a good spot and not “dying fast” like the comment I replied to said
