after the reshuffle is done, these golfers are really in trouble:

Steohen Bowditch, Bill Glasson, Ryan Hietala, Michael Connell, B.J. Staten. No cuts made from any of them, and they may have as few as 3-5 PGA events until after the U.S. Open.

That's just another testament to strength of the PGA Tour and it's fans.

I'm a little confused. First you refer to the Tuscon competitors as "indifferent", then say "they have game", then call them Nationwide caliber, then call them (part of) the strength of the PGA

I'm going to exercise some serious restraint, and only say this:

If you're watching golf only to see a certain few "stars," you're not watching because you love the game.

And, is Steven Ames playing? he probably had time to get there from LaCosta on Wednesday.

They aren't allowed to enter Tuscon after losing from what they said.

It's odd how I didn't hear a lot of complaints about the "other tours" when Tiger was winning at Dubai a few weeks ago...I think the match play foremat is a refreshing change once in a while. Like most people, I prefer stroke play tourneys but it's all fun to watch in my humble opinion.

One of the best comments I've seen, and there are a lot of good comments in this discussion board.

Try to come out of the SHADE and follow along.

All references to the Tucson competitors were in comparison to the top 64 players in the world. They've played "indifferent" golf compared to the WGC field. Yes, they all have significant game (just not top 64 significant) and Tucson is to WGC as the Nationwide Tour is to the PGA Tour.

The future? Surely you aren't insinuating that none of the players on the Nationwide Tour can cut the mustard on the PGA Tour.

It was a comparison of talent, not the future. The Nationwide guys aren't good enough to play on the PGA Tour like the Tucson guys are not good enough to play in the WGC event.
