The "Upper Midcard" using a wrestling example, in LIV guys like Gooch, Na, Patrick Reed, Garcia.   They are very relevant to the tour, and if I was at a tournament would not mind watching them.   The PGA tour definetely needs these types of guys and its a loss each one that leaves, even if not at that level of a Cameron Smith.

Going back to the wrestling analogy, I would think you are referring more to the "jobbers" on tour - I'll use Canadian names because they are prominent to me -- guys like Roger Sloan, Michael Gligic, David Hearn.   I will watch them play because they are Canadian and watch if the rare time they are in contention in a lower tier event, but I am sure many don't care about them.

I think a comment I had made several pages back was misinterpreted.   I had said the PGA tour had diluted itself too thin -- and somebody argued that the players could do what they want.   And I totally agree with that.   My issue is more with how it impacts quality of events as a fan-- spreading top and upper midcard guys across many of the events is not optimal.   But its not that big of a deal.

The PGA dilution (too many events) is great for most of the players ... especially the lower tier guys as it gives them some nice paycheques in $4-6m tournaments.  I am sure most players on tour are fine with that -- well obviously not Phil -- FIGJAM would steal their money if he could and be grinning about it.
