Dunno if there is any truth to what some of the announcers said: "Europeans tend to play a lot more matchplay than Americans"
Thanks for this, metallion.
Conducting more match play events on the PGA TOUR is definitely another option. Especially in Team Format. Learn to win -- with a 'buddy.'
Could it happen?
Yes.
Will it happen?
Probably not.
Why?
Because it is not the 'culture' of the PGA TOUR. Never has been and never will be. The TOUR is a nomadic tribe of truly independent contractors. Each pays his own bus fare, room, meals, and caddy. Those who don't perform, don't eat, and they're back to Triple A -- read Nationwide Tour -- in a heartbeat. From there, it is to a Player's Oblivion of mini-tours and club jobs. These competitive folk most definitely are NOT 'team players.' They cannot afford to be.
In fact, they are The Meateaters. And the meat they eat is that of those against whom they compete every day.
When paired with their natural enemy, they just don't know how to function.
