Not only that, but several supporters made it apparent that they despised this move. Here's a look at some of these fans' responses:

"PGA Tour sucks compared to LIV. No need of such events lol," one fan pointed out.

"So they suspend a pro for playing in an 8 holes creator classic, but then they go and go this. PGA Tour is trash and wonders why they are bleeding viewers and starting to lose out to YouTube golf." Another fan stated.

In March 2023, the Austin Country Club hosted the WGC-Dell Technologies Match-Play, the last time the PGA Tour held a tournament in Austin. The tour will make a triumphant return in 2026, according to the PGA Tour's chief competitions officer, Tyler Dennis, who stated that the circuit is really proud to return and host a tournament during the FedEx fall season.

According to the circuit's official website, Dennis stated,

"The PGA is proud to return to the great city of Austin for the first time since 2023 for the Good Good Championship, an exciting new event as part of the FedExCup Fall. We are pleased to partner with Good Good Golf and Omni Hotels & Resorts on this unique event as the PGA further connects and engages with our game’s younger fans."

Aside from that, the tournament is aired on the Golf Channel and PGA TOUR LIVE on ESPN+, Sirius XM, and the World Feed.
