Not sure about that.    These recommendations would appear to re-distribute a decent amount of cash.   The PGA only has a certain pool of money to work with.  
These recommendations would take from the middle/lower class of the tour, and moves more of it to larger $ small field events.   And potentially these small field premium events might be more attractive to sponsors and TV, raising the pool of money.

Its probably something the PGA tour was hoping to avoid as it wanted to appease its members as a whole, and the middle/lower class are still the majority of ownership.  But at some point that middle class had to realize their earnings were still a heck of a lifestyle and it was getting threatened.

I had actually raised this as an option in a few theads.   Create a handful of super-events.   I would like if they operated on some sort of "annual relegation" basis.    Says its a field of 50 -- the bottom 12 or so get in those events get demoted, and the top 12 in the regular events get promoted the next year... would just add some extra drama to all the events.
