➡️Amateur or pro sports: which do you prefer to watch and why?
I was flipping channels this weekend between the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup St. Jude Classic and the US Amateur Championship, and honestly? I found myself stuck on the US Am. Don't get me wrong, professional golf is incredibly competitive, but when a guy like Scottie Scheffler wins another few million dollars, it doesn't really change his life. But watching a 22-year-old amateur win the US Am with his dad on the bag to punch his ticket to the US Open, The Masters, and The Open Championship? That is pure, unfiltered sports magic.
It reminds me of the raw emotion of the Little League World Series or March Madness. The storylines just write themselves! I want to hear from you in the comments: do you prefer watching the polished pros or the gritty amateurs?
