The Grass League is one of the most interesting new formats in golf, and in this episode of Must Play: Bonus Round, we’re breaking down exactly what it is and why it’s starting to get attention from the golf world. We’re joined by Todd Dobson, who covers the Grass League, to talk through the origins of the league, how it came to life, and what makes this high-stakes par-3 format different from traditional golf, the PGA Tour, and even LIV golf.
Todd walks us through what the Grass League actually is, how it’s structured, and why shorter-format, more accessible golf could play a bigger role in the future of the game. From the energy around night golf and the courses to the faster pace and entertainment value, we dig into what makes this format stand out and who it’s really for, the people.
We also preview the upcoming Grass Clippings Open, taking place at Grass Clippings at Rolling Hills this week, and what to expect from the event. From the course setup, how the qualifiers and draft work, to the players involved, this is a full look at how the Grass Clippings Open showcases the broader vision of the Grass League.
If you’ve been hearing about the Grass League and wondering what it actually means for golf, or you’re curious about the Grass Clippings Open and how these events are shaping a new style of play, this episode gives you a clear and honest breakdown.
