Touche. Maybe we have an overexposure problem. Sounds, crazy, but maybe there are too many tournaments on the calendar. All the greats simply can’t play them all so they pick and choose.

I see your point, although I’m not sure I agree completely. The tournaments basically live and die based on two factors: players entered and sponsorship dollars. If the best players in the world are playing in a smaller event, then sponsors could presumably offer a fee to that player in the hopes of long-term gain. If Tiger Woods or Phil Mickelson were to add the Valero Texas Open to their schedule, ticket sales for that event would soar, thus making up the cost of whatever fee was paid to the top-tier player… and then some.

Great post. But to play devil’s advocate, what if the PGA Tour is doing the right thing? Seems to me some of the purity of the game is tainted by appearance fees. It actually prevents the sport from seeing the best competition in the same field week after week. Once you open the door to the PGA Tour to begin appearance fees, a once charitable organization will become less so because those funds that support charities will be redirected to greedy players.
