John: I agree with your comments . It does seem that if you are going to miss a fairway you are better off missing it by a large margin. Also I agree with you about the TV networks having favourite players and this influencing the game. I was a spotter for ABC at The Open at St George's . When Ben Curtis took the lead the radio went mad with " Who the hell is Ben Curtis " comments . Shortly after he was put on the clock. I thought it was disgusting and undoubtedly a ruse to put him off his game and hand it to Tiger. Can you imagine Tiger being put on the clock just when he took the lead in the final round in a major? It would never happen. The same kind of thing happened to Garido when he was leading the Volvo PGA at Wentworth.
What does a player need to make $$$ wise to make a reasonable living on the US tour? How much does it cost just to play the Tour per year.
