re: Designated Tour events will have no cut and smaller fields in 2024

I don’t think they’ll get rid of both the SA and Austin events. There’s been lots of chatter and hope Houston would get back in the spring, who knows, but it doesn’t really matter now with how the fields are set up as it would be an event similar to the Honda Classic last week if it does. I think it’s much more likely Houston loses its event entirely than gets any status event.
No matter where it is it would be a shame to lose the match play/star studded field event. It’s great to watch and attend.

This is interesting but not sure how this makes LIV some sort of greater product or puts them in any better position. I don’t have a dog in the fight and don’t care the PGA just seemed to have slapped LIV in the face and there’s nothing they can do about it. They’re stuck on the child’s network with no viewers and no fans in attendance. The PGA just secured all of their top talent.

I hate hate hate limiting fields in the designated events. Pretty much every move the players want “shrinks golf”. I know the rich players just want to get richer, I get it, but for the fans and the game it blows

It validates that PGA believes LIV is a good product & is a competitor.
Why is PGA making this move? To make it more attractive to fans, to give fans the opportunity to see more of the top players playing in more tournaments together. Things that LIV has already done by changing their format & having the same 48 players each weekend.

Not sure about that. They will always have the option to choose where they want to play once LIV gets OWGR pts.

All we are doing is helping the top guys make more money, which is what it has always been about regardless of what they sold you in the press. A few lucky middle tier guys got to ride the LIV money train at least due to the top dawgs telling them no
Remember when the PGA tour said they weren’t going to change anything at all? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

During one of their recent pods, the NLU guys discussed losing the matchplay in Austin. They love Memorial and suggested that it should just take over the matchplay in the same slot. I know it's just podcasters spouting off, but I would love that.

Fans are losing their events across the board all over due to this shortly. It hasn’t been good for the fans outside of a few events where the best players now all play together.

Sure, but that’s not all. Listen to what Max Homa had to say about it. It’s about putting a “better product” out there similar to what LIV is doing.

If you don’t think this will raise the money for guys in that 150-40 world ranking range, I don’t know what to tell you. Everyone is going to make more.

Max Homa said the exact opposite of what you’re saying. I’ll take his word over yours

Tell me how this helps the guys in the 70-90 range

Having less players in the wm and genesis makes it better than this year? How?
We’re you watching the WM and said “geez, I’m pissed this Nick Taylor guy may win. I wish he wasn’t even invited to play. That would have made this product so much better”

Outside the way the PGA is reinventing itself to stop the bleeding when LIV gets its world ranking points, it's going to once again check everyone's true motives and convictions for playing golf. I think it's going to be the next big catalyst for change.

I’ve shite on LIV for awhile, so I will do the same to the PGA Tour now.
I hate no cut events.

I already did, but I’ll post it again for you. You can hate it all you want, but it’s the truth. You just don’t like it cause you liked it how it was before.

Other tournaments will still exist. People will still want to watch golf. Look who just won the Honda. Those guy just made a ton the normally wouldnt have.

All this does is take players out of those events, it isn’t adding anything

Bc it’s about the top players. Nobody was interested in the Honda last weekend bc the lack of top players.
At the Genesis, you only got to see Sam Burns, Si Woo Kim, Kisner, Hossler, Justin Rose, Jordan Spieth, etc play only 2 out of 4 days.
LIV gets to see DJ, Koepka, Dechambeau, Cam Smith, etc play every round at every tournament.
It’s about making sure the fans get to see more of the top players playing at these tournaments.
