@GOLF_com@JennyShin_LPGA@RiggsBarstool Define “amateur”.
LPGA pros have zero chance against the top 500 wagr male amateur players. But they could certainly beat your 40+ years old scratch weekend golfer.
@NoLayingUp@cgpgrey One solution for the playoffs: what you do for East Lake, do that already for the St Jude. And then do aggregate stroke play throughout the 3 playoff tournaments. The bottom 20 gets dropped after each tournament, but no ties, you would have sudden death to decide who advances.
@Daniel_Rapaport The majors jointly established the OWGR for themselves as a qualifying system. They are still happy with it. They have the option of wild cards to fix any anomalie. That is exactly what they did with Niemann. There is nothing to see here.
