To me the Tour Championship is like a year end bonus for those in the top 30. 30 golfers no cut everyone gets a nice check regardless how they play. It is obvious that Phil and Tiger really do not care about extra income.

On the other hand I think that the PGA is trying to address your concerns and attempt to get the bigger names to play more after july with their new format next year. We will see how it works.

Personally with the money these guys are making, I doubt if too many of the super stars will play in more then 20 PGA events a year. Then throw in maybe a Ryder cup/ Presidents cup, and 2 or 3 over seas events. (hard to turn down those million dollars appearance fees some of the events give out). So the Stars will play an event every other week and have no need to play more then that so I doubt they ever will again.
