Can anyone tell me why some events (masters, tiger's event, the open, player's championship) set up their own sites that pgatour.com links to with their own, typically inferior, online leaderboards?

The standard boards used for regular pga events are awesome, you watch shot by shot, see hole locations, etc...

It's really irritating, esp. when espn360.com seems to be completely borked today

What's in my bag:
Cleveland Hibore XLS Monster Driver
TourEdge Exotics 2,3,4 hybrid irons
Tommy Armour 845cs Silverbacks 5-PW
Assorted wedges, Ping Scottsdale Anser

None of the majors are run by the PGA Tour.

I thought they ran the PGA at least?

Nope, ran by the PGA, not the PGA Tour.

No. The PGA runs the PGA Championship. The PGA and PGA Tour have been separate entities since 1968.

I don't remember The Players having a separate leaderboard, but I was quite busy that week, so I could very well have missed it.

This irritates me, too. Pick 'Em can't do auto-updates. I can't customize the leaderboard. Play-by-play, which helps me follow the rounds from the office, is missing completely. I wish at least these other groups would allow me some sort of auto-access to the data, I might even be tempted to write my own leaderboard software for the weeks that PGATour.com doesn't manage it. IIRC, the stroke play WGCs have a decent PGATour.com style leaderboard.

totally agree, immts007. pgatour.com leaderboard is great, and the U.S. Open's - the greatest tourney of the year - totally sucked.

How can the traveler's championship or buick open have a better online leaderboard than the flippin' USOPEN!! Grrrr.

Not only that, but it was also indescribably slow to post results.
