It was a significant moment for the TOUR to have its own championship at its own course. No other sport has been able to maintain those traditional ideals of what sports is supposed to be about. Finchem can't get done. No, I am not surprised both have taken off. My first tournament as Commissioner, I went to a tournament and couldn't see any golf because I was looking into the back of someone's head.
More people can see and enjoy tournament golf.
And the senior players were enthusiastic about competing again. Well first of all, the PGA TOUR is a player organization. The players have always had an important voice in all PGA TOUR policies. The TOUR operates much differently than other major sports in that, basically, it is a player organization. There is only one commissioner and it is no longer me.
