By and large, I think the fans are going to be able to see more golf. An early slot on TV for third-round coverage on Saturdays is nothing new for the GMO in recent years, but it is new for the fourth round on Sundays. No. 1 on Sunday. Depending on the number of players who make the cut, the groups will go off in either twos or threes. Trophy Suites, a division of Outback Steakhouse Co., installs the structures at PGA events that use them.
Tournaments then rent the suites to groups.
The two suites at the GMO are new to the grounds and officials are hoping the introduction goes well. The structure is air-conditioned, stocked with food and beverages, TV monitors and a wait staff. Huge sliding windows overlooking the green can be left open to bring the action into the structure, or closed if need arises. On the roof of the structure is patio seating for a few dozen more people. From that vantage, one can see the play on No. 9, No. 7, No. 1 and No. 10 tees.
