Justin Rose Questions Playing Majors So Close Together

I penned this explanation—delivered with his typical gentle forthrightness—here for Golfweek. 

I will say, in the FedExCup’s defense (which Rose rightfully says should not be dictating the major schedule)—that the real juggernaut is not necessarily the “playoffs” but the NFL and college football season golf is working around. 

Either way, however, the numbers are suggesting top players have played less in the calendar year portion due to the tighter schedule and that can’t make sponsors or television happy.
