Golf, Without Tiger or Phil, Is in a Good Place - Agree or Disagree?

" from strictly a business perspective the tour needs to do a better job of eliminating the nobodys "

The problem is that you take fifty "nobodies" who are, after all, very good at golf, and some random one of them or the other is going to turn in a star quality performance most weeks, I am more impressed by the guys who are always in the top five, like Furyk, but he does lack star quality, sorry to say.

The PGA tour product is too diluted- too many players and too many events. It's become a victim of its own success. Reduce the number of events and cut the size of the fields in half. This isn't what the average tour player wants to hear but it's what the game needs. Unfortunately there's too much talent and too many no-names winning on a weekly basis. We live in a star driven world and from strictly a business perspective the tour needs to do a better job of eliminating the nobodys and cultivating the careers of the stars on tour.

Yes we live in a star driven world which is shameful.

Yes take care of the business side of golf but let's not forget it's a sport.

I'm sure the average golf fan couldn't care less about the corporate machine.

Yes, I think the game is fine. TV was only meant to entertain us, in between the times when we can't play. Too bad the golf coverage is less about watching shots and appreciating the aptitude versus listening to a has been or never was and the "over hype" of the moment or drill endless blather about things unrelated.
