I definitely like the idea of mixed pairings. It would be quite fun to watch a Bryson DeChambeau or Scottie Scheffler paired with Nelly Korda or Laura Coughlin playing Best Ball or Alternate Shot format, blasting an awesome course to smithereens.

I definitely like the idea of mixed pairings. It would be quite fun to watch a Bryson DeChambeau or Scottie Scheffler paired with Nelly Korda or Laura Coughlin playing Best Ball or Alternate Shot format, blasting an awesome course to smithereens. I think you would see the US, South Korea, and Japan dominate, at least in the near term. I believe I read that American men won all four majors this year (Scheffler, DeChambeau and Schauffele) for the first time since the early '80s; that's a pretty long stretch of parity with the rest of the world.
The future of golf probably isn't 4.75 hour 18 hole rounds a 3 hour roundtrip out in the exurbs.
A lot of young people like the Topgolf high tech driving ranges with your choice of various games.
I'd like to see a crowd-pleasing test of skills in Olympic stadium golf. For example, during a pre-Masters practice round, the tradition over the last 40+ years has been to try to skip a shot across the pond on the 16th at Augusta National on to the immensely sloped green. Here's Jon Rahm making a hole in one by skipping the ball across the pond and then having it roll in a right to left boomerang for 150 feet across the famous green.

I would like to be paired with Paige Spirinac.

Reproduce that hole inside a stadium and make closest-skipped-to-the-pin one of the feats of strength and skill.
Another one could be bouncing the ball off the club like in the famous Tiger Woods Nike commercial of a quarter century ago:

Star golfers, having extraordinary eye-hand coordination and 3D cognitive skills, have a lot of weird skills.
