An estimated 2 billion people across the globe watched Friday’s royal wedding — and the golf community was no exception.

In Seoul, South Korea, the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton came on TV after the second round of the Ballantine’s Championship. On the other hand, players competing in the Zurich Classic of New Orleans had to rise early — or stay up late — to watch the network coverage that began at 3 a.m. CT.

Here’s a sampling of tweets from players and golfwriters.

Sat in the room in Korea, not the least bit interested in the wedding yet strangely can’t tear myself away! Help. #royalwedding @Oliver_Wilson

Watching the scenes of the Royal wedding made me miss London. Great city! Fantastic scenes like that remind you of all Britain has to offer! @JustinRose99

The prince and princess met at St. Andrews. Can’t believe she picked him over Louis Oosthuizen. @JasonSobel

crowd moving toward the Palace reminds one of the 72nd hole at the Open Championship…someone should bust through soon! @jamesrhuber

For all the talk about how big the Royal Wedding is. Doesn’t do it justice. Britain at it’s best. 2 billion people watching can’t be wrong. @FNobilo

This royal wedding can’t be good for families of girls. My 3 girls are grabbing ideas for their own. 10-ft trails, horse&carraige #budget @DanHicksNBC

best advice yet!“@BrianHammons: @DanHicksNBC Tell your daughters the Elvis Chapel in Vegas is just as nice.” @DanHicksNBC
