When we arrived had no idea which parking lot we were suppise to park in. We went to wrong parking lot. The officer told us we had to turn around and go back to where we came from. I asked if there was any handicap parking, He didn't know so we went to the 1st parking lot. We asked 3 people if there was handicapped parking. Nobody knew so they parked us in this big field. We had to walk probably 300 yd to front entrance to go through security. Took about 30 minutes to get through security, even though they had 4 separate lines, because line was so long. Then we had to walk about another 3 or 400 yd to number 9 green. They did have a handicap spot set up for handicapped people by number 9 green. Just about all the spots were taken. We had a hard time watching when the players got on the green because all the cameras were right in our way. It got pretty hot once the clouds were not blocking the sun. One of the volunteers walked by we asked him where could we get some water? He said how many do you need I said too? He said I'll be right back. He came back in about 10 minutes with 2 Cold bottles of water which was really nice we thank them a lot. We were told when we came in that when we were ready to leave to go over to the Ada shack and they will give us a ride back to the parking lo. so we walked over to the Ada shack. We had to wait 30 minutes before somebody. Finally came around in a golf cart to give us a ride back to the parking lot. Was not very well organized we did get to see some of our favorite players. Very casual took a little get used to the different format. We heard a lot of people complaining about the disorganization. Don't think I'll be attending anymore LIV tournaments

I attended all 3 days of this tournament and loved every single minute of the experience. Bought our tickets online and received very clear directions on the day before the event to the parking area for us. We showed up about 11:30 every day and had no line to wait in for entry to the golf course. The sandy parking areas were a bummer for walking in for sure.
We walked around a lot; entered at the 8th tee and visited the practice areas for putting and the driving range. We were able to get close to the players and see what goes into their practice routine. Very interesting.
Fabulous event!! Not perfect, but I came with no expectations other than seeing great golfers do their thing. Expectations exceeded!!
Got autographs from Phil Mickelson, Pat Perez, Greg Norman, Cameron Smith, Carlos Ortiz and Sam Horsfield. Fist bumps from Bryson DeChambeau and Mito Pereira.
We sat at the par 3 eighth hole green and watched half of the field come through before wandering the course. If another one of these events comes close to us, I’ll be going!! My wife says she’s only going on the last day next time 😂
