Kuchar: "“If you could design a better version of the PGA Tour, it wouldn’t look like the current version."

While that comment is not exactly what the doctor ordered when you are about to (allegedly) announce an $8 billion, 10-year deal at the Players, Matt Kuchar raises an interesting question.

As quoted in this story by GolfDigest.com’s Brian Wacker looking at player views of the proposed Premier Golf League:

“It’s intriguing,” Kuchar said of the PGL. “If you could design a better version of the PGA Tour, it wouldn’t look like the current version. What we have is awesome, [but] I think there’s a lot of hope that the tour moves in a direction that is slightly different moving forward, and guys like Rory have an influence on that direction.”

McIlroy certainly will be listened to after announcing he’s “out” on the league unless there is a mass exodus of top players.

But it does raise an interesting question: if you started from scratch, how would you design a golf tour that takes the sport to different places, shows off the skills of these talented players, and keeps them happy?
