Once again, the PGA Tour has taken viewers to an interesting geographic area. This week, it is the Genesis Scottish Open, on the southern coast of the Firth of Forth, east of Edinburgh.
Today's third round is being played under sunny skies and CBS peppers its coverage with views of the rocky coastline, the Firth of Forth and the Highlands beyond. While I certainly enjoy watching the match itself, the chance to encounter new and scenic geography is a special feature of the Tour.
My wife and I were fortunate to visit Scotland in 2019 and explored most of the country, including Edinburgh. But we did not get out to the peninsula where this week's match is being held and I appreciate the geographic perspective. More than any other televised sport, golf takes us to landscapes across the globe.
