What If... The PGA instituted a legit Head to Head Playoff System?
Instead of a 4 tournament quazi-playoff it would be pretty cool if, instead of this silly playoff they have now which doesn't really prove anything, they instituted a 32 or 64 man bracket system with best of 3 matches over a weekend at different courses. You could have the matches go off in front of a consolation field or something if you wanted to still include 200ish players and the chance to get some serious drama + TV ratings if there was a Tiger/Anyone or Phil/Big Name final. The current system is irrelevant and doesn't really prove anything, this would at least be entertaining to watch.
Field of 32
Best of 3 on Course A over a weekend to 16
Best of 3 on Course B over a weekend to 8
Best of 3 on Course C over a weekend to 4
Best of 3 on Course D over a weekend to 2
Championship best of 3 on Course E
And have other players playing for a consolation pool behind the match play portion.
Stupid idea? Should I replace Tim Finchem?
