Watch: LIV Golf Tulsa puts on a show for fans at the Mardi Gras Hole
The LIV Golf Tulsa is taking place at the Cedar Ridge Country Club from May 12 to 14. The Saudi-backed event included a Mardi Gras Hole in the second round. Interestingly, the event organizers had planned a special musical show for the crowd to commemorate the opening of the new hole.
They posted a brief video clip of the celebration on Twitter with the caption:
"Introducing the Mardi Gras Hole."
Fans were outraged at the new hole and took to the post's comments section to write:
"Pretty much the ONLY thing that I hate is the music, constant beat in the background to this band. Second place, David, “funny” cracks once in a while…. You don’t have to try so hard."
"Interesting fact is that this band was at a party at a private residence that was along the #5 fairway just off course. Anther house on 14 had a band playing on their balcony too. The residents brought the party this week."
