Well, let me tell you, this here Players Cup 2024, it’s a big ol’ thing. All them dart throwers, they’s comin’ together to see who’s the best. Sixty-four of ’em, they say. Sixty-four! That’s more folks than live in my whole holler back home. And they’re all fightin’ for that big prize money. A hundred and twenty thousand, I hear! Can you imagine? You could buy a whole lotta land with that kinda money.
They’re gonna be playin’ in Minehead. Now, I ain’t never been, but it sounds fancy. Got that big stage and everything. They say it’s the 16th time they’re doin’ this Players Championship Finals. Sixteen years! I reckon some of them players weren’t even born when they started this thing.
Now, if you wanna watch it, they say it’s gonna be on that ITV4. We got us one of them fancy TVs now, so maybe I’ll try to catch a bit of it. It’s free to watch, they say. Free is good, especially when you got to save pennies on other things. They say you can watch it on your computer too, on somethin’ called ITVX. That’s for them young folks, I reckon, with their fancy technology.
They got all sorts of ways to watch it. Day passes, weekend passes. Sounds like a whole lot of fuss to me. Just turn on the TV and watch the darn thing. Back in my day, we didn’t have all these choices. We just watched what was on.
- They say gates open at 7:30 in the mornin’.
- Then there’s some military thing at 5:00 p.m.
- And then a concert, with some group called the Chainsmokers. Never heard of ’em.
I seen that in a magazine that the Players Championship is gonna be on NBC, Golf Channel, and some other channel called Peacock. I don’t know what a Peacock is doin’ on TV, but okay. They say it’s a big deal, this tournament. The PGA Tour’s, whatever that is, number one big shot tournament. I guess that means it’s important. They got a lot of money ridin’ on it, that’s for sure.
They say the players can bring their own food. Imagine that! In my day, you had to eat what they gave ya. These folks, they’re bringin’ in their protein powders, and their nuts, and their jerky. Back then, we were lucky to get a piece of bread and some water. Nowadays, you can bring your protein bars, granola bars, beef jerky, and bananas, among other things. And water mixed with protein powder!
And this here ESPN+ thing, they say it’s got more of that PGA TOUR stuff than anywhere else. I don’t know what that means, but it sounds like a lot. They say it’s the place to be if you wanna watch them golfers do their thing. I guess if you’re into that kinda thing, that’s where you wanna be.
This whole Players Cup 2024, it’s a big to-do. Lots of folks gonna be watchin’. Lots of money gonna be changing hands. I reckon it’s important to them that’s playin’. Me, I’ll probably just stick to my garden. But it’s somethin’ to talk about, I suppose. It’s the talk of the town, that’s for sure.
This whole thing, this Players Championship Finals, it’s a lot to take in. But I guess that’s the way of the world now. Everything’s bigger and fancier than it used to be. Just gotta try to keep up, I reckon. Or at least pretend to.
It’s kinda like that time Mildred’s boy brought home one of them newfangled tractors. Shiny and new, with all sorts of buttons and levers. We all stood around lookin’ at it, scratchin’ our heads. Didn’t know what half of it did. But we nodded along like we did. This whole Players Cup is a lot like that tractor. A lot of fancy stuff that I don’t quite understand, but it sure is somethin’ to see.
So, if you’re into that sort of thing, that dart throwin’ and golf playin’, then I guess this Players Cup 2024 is for you. Me? I’ll be here, tendin’ to my chickens and watchin’ the world go by. But hey, to each their own, as they say. To each their own.
There are lots of matches in Stage Two, and they are gonna stream those matches live on PDCTV. You can get Day and Weekend passes to watch. You can watch them on your computer, too. If you want to find out how to watch each match, you can check the calendar. They have all the information there. I don’t know about any of that, though.
