Probably because the media has not seen them except at the Buick when they are totally different than in the summer. The other thing is the bunkers--It is my understanding that they will be "fluffed" in such a way that buried lies in faces will often take place. Good luck getting out to the elevated greens with severe slopes!! I know the course superintendents want to make the course as severe as they can get away with before the USGA reigns them in!!
