Jason Logan: Why smaller fields would be a big problem for marquee PGA Tour events
If the rumours are true, next year’s “designated event” series on the PGA Tour, meaning the 10 tournaments beyond the majors and FedEx Cup playoff events that guarantee the presence of the circuit’s best players and biggest names, will feature drastically reduced field sizes and no cut.The WM Phoenix Open, the first full-field designated event, proved that the formula in place works just fine. That tournament’s final group featured two superstars vying to become No.
The PGA Tour and its star players who helped orchestrate the designated event series must be careful not to become what they’ve mocked in LIV Golf. That is, money-for-everyone events that run counter to the meritocratic nature of golf, which is often held up as a shining principle against other sports where athletes do not always play up to their paycheques.
