Half Of PGA Tour Pros Think The "Product" Would Be Better Off With Fewer Events

Maybe it’s the sight of a worse-than-most field in Bermuda, or no rounds this fall registering a respectable audience until the ZOZO’s Monday finish in U.S. prime time, but the question of PGA Tour product oversaturation seems reasonable to ask.

So Golf.com did in their anonymous player survey and an amazing 50% said the product would be better a little bit streamlined.

TRUE OR FALSE: THE TOUR WOULD BE MORE INTERESTING IF THERE WERE FEWER EVENTS.

True: 50%


False: 50%

Hot takes:

“More millionaires, but more guys getting hurt. If you increase quantity in any industry, quality goes down.”


“Would not be good for the new guys.”


“A four-month break would make fans psyched that golf is back.”

While we know four months is not palatable, golf sure could use a dead period. We thought September would be that month in the U.S., but next year will now only see one week off.
