Have to disagree. The majors will always be the majors and attract the best fields. Playing fur the best prizes. That happens now and would continue if the govern bodies would get their act together regards world ranking points.
I to have fur as long as I can remember watched golf on TV. It bites me to death now other than the majors and maybe the players at sawgrass. All tournaments are on my screen but outside those majors I’m rarely invested in what’s happening.
A world tour would probably do little to help.
It would be great to go back to Peter allis and the bbc covering the open, masters and the Ryder cup but that horse has bolted and it’s not going to happen. Golf back then was an event once in a blue moon live now it’s four days a week every week.
They will play for their bloated pay checks but nothing will change for us in a real sense.
What I’m suggesting will happen is the only way professional golf and possibly golf itself can progress and survive otherwise it’ll tear itself apart.
I understand fully what you were getting at now, and see your point. I agree with much of what you're saying, and for me golf will never be the same again now after the Liv shambles. Even the majors aren't the same as what they once were in my opinion. A world tour would do nothing to reverse my disgust at what has happened. When Jon Rahm departed for the Saudi Riyal, it was the final nail in the coffin for me. These guys were already multi millionaires, and have already torn golf apart. If an all star world tour had been proposed before Liv and their taking of the Saudi Riyal, then maybe it could have been a viable new alternative, but for me its too late. I'd look at Dustin Johnson, Cameron Smith, Tyrell Hatton, Jon Rahm with nothing but disinterest and couldn't care less what they won.
