I have had Tifgreen over the last 10 years and liked it well enough but I am now replacing my sod and see that the other 2 choices are out there.
I was looking to possibly changing types and was leaning towards the TifSport. As one of the things that interest me is the possiblity of staying greener longer.
I also am not sure if the grass is about the same texture as it is very hard to tell from pictures that I could find on the net.
Any opinions or comments on a prefered grass or about this would be great. As an FYI I live in Southern California.

Being from So.Cal your probably used to seeing mostly Tifgreen and Santa ana……so think of 419 as very similar to Santa ana, but with a slightly more upright growth habit, and less seed heads. I have not seen Tifsport, but it sounds very similar to Tifgreen- but more wear tolerant with better winter color.
