Message: [QUOTE="PoppyHart, post: 4278296, member: 515"] One of the biggest threats to the PGA tour’s continued success and ability to hold off LIV is going to be the young folks just out of college. They currently offer KFT membership to the top-5 collegiate golfers, and third tier status (Latin America, Canada, etc…) to another 10-15. These new kids struggle for a couple of years before they reach the main tour. If LIV offers every 1st and 2nd team All-American $10 million to sign on, many will take it. Hell, Anthony Kim reportedly took $10 million to never pick up a club again, and this was when he was a top-earner (albeit injured). The tour needs to havea heart-to-heart with the rank and file (think Scott Stallings, JJ Henry, etc…) and cut the exemption list from 125 to 115, offer the top-10 college kids exempt status starting June 1 each year, and KFT status to the next 10. Just my $.02 [/QUOTE]
