o maybe this will create some interest and we might get a few more of the top 25 down here.



I dont see why anyone would play this if there are no fedex/ryder cup points available. The schedule is busy enough without a exhibition thrown in

Everyone knows Zurich is a lower tier tournament in regards to drawing the Top 50 players. The course is a big hurdle and a fixed variable for now.

Definite concern. If they are banking on it drawing players who want match play experience, they better fork up a bigger purse, especially in a non-Ryder Cup year.
