PGA to consider dropping the cut

conno16

this is on the agenda now
will drastically change golf if it goes ahead
in my opinion will not increase interest in the sport
you'll just have a huge field teeing off on saturday / sunday with approx 2/3 of it with nothing to play for
foolish

So the 1st sign of Tiger not making the cut their is talk of removing altogether:rolleyes:

Plus on the occasions where events get delayed by say weather, there would now be even more of a backlog to clear

IMO the cut is essential to the tournament. As stated above there is no point in having a huge field over the whole four days considering most wont be in contention to win.

Having the cut makes the four days more interesting by having a comp within a comp, 1st who makes the cut! then the overall winner. Wasnt it touch and go if Gmac made the cut in the irish open:eek: made his closing few holes tht much more interesting (as it does for any competitor close to the cut line)


Also if they remove the "cut" it would result in alot more late tee times like we had in pebble beach on the closing 2days.

Right thts my two cents:D

Only 4 biters that time Conno, you're losing your touch.

no this is genuine
prob driven entirely by woods

Its hard enough to get some tournaments finished at times with 70 players due to weather etc....trying to get 150 players finished would be farcical.

logistically it would be a nightmare, yes
i'm sure they have some rationale though

Speak Now

Sure didn't they only change it a couple of years ago.
Top 70 and ties but if this goes over 78 players they apply a cut after round 3 as well.
Now we're supposed to believe they want everyone to play at the weekend, no chance :rolleyes:.
