The problem with match play is you have 15 matches in the first round with 15 winners advancing to the 2nd round. With 15 being an odd number how many matches are there in the 2nd round?



Add two to the or give two guys a bye. Not that hard to figure out

This format is garbage. It's an exhibition at this point for 95% of the field.

OK, you give 2 players a bye in the 1st round. That reduces the field to 28 players in 14 matches. 14 players advance to the 2nd round with 7 winners. How many players & matches in the 3rd & subsequent rounds. If you go to match play I think 32 is the magic number.

Way too much hand wringing over this format and tournament.

Scotty could shoot a 75 tomorrow and everyone is back in it.

It's hardly a bellwether for who the best player, I mean Hunter Mahan won it one year.

I enjoy watching good golf shots, no what a player earns.


You're water carrying for the Tour is cringe worthy. This event sucks. It is what it is. It needs to be changed, but your downright refusal to acknowledge there are changes that need to be made is Monohan level ignorance

Uh 30 with 2 byes

Cuts the field to 14 winners and the byes 16 total.

To 8
To 4
To 2
To the winner

Are you unable to do 1st grade level math?

Last format was best. Top five all win the cup if they win the tournament. Everyone else needs help. It makes for much better drama, every shot matters more.
Lots of guys put up great numbers today that would normally put them in position to win a tournament(a large purse), but that is FAR less likely in this format.

How come you aren't the Commissioner? Never mind, we know the answer. The reason you get so many downvotes is you have to add a personal insult to every post. Must be a Bronx thing.

You can change it to 32 or do byes. It’s not that hard.

The problem is its been reported that in favor of the current format. If they don't want match play, it's not going to happen imo.

I havent applied, but I certainly wouldn't do a worse job than the current one.

I mean, you can't seem to understand basic addition. That's not my fault.

If nobody is watching, at some point it won't be up to them. This tournament could be over my mid tomorrow afternoon.

Senior moment mistake on my part. I meant Brooklyn. Unlike you, I'm not perfect.

When they were discussing ideas to change, match play was discussed. The players didn’t want it.


Of course not, match play is the worst way to determine a champion.
