The Netflix Cup kicked off with its first hole in Las Vegas and it created a lot of waves in the sporting world. And, in an innovative surprise of sorts, they introduced a new aspect to the same in a bid to make it more exciting for the golfers.
The tournament followed the scramble format, where all the golfers on a team would hit the ball simultaneously. However, the first hole saw the two teams of the F1 drivers-PGA tour golfers tee it off hastily owing to the new rule that was introduced before the same.
As per the new idea, the team that holes the ball fastest in the first hole gets the tie-breaker. This led to chaos of sorts on the greens. The first match saw Justin Thomas and Carlos Sainz win the same. The duo would, later on, go ahead to emerge victorious at the tournament.

Well, someone was bound to say this. Running on the greens does come out as bad to a lot of people in the golfing community. And a fan pointed out how it is no different even if it is a famous person.
You shouldn’t be allowed to run on a green no matter how famous you are.
