Basically the Tour Players Association, a group of PGA Tour players headed by Danny Edwards, has been trying to petition the PGA Tour for change. This is not the first petition movement in golf and it won't be the last. But since turning professional in 1962, I've never seen one of these things that wasn't totally self-serving. Fortunately, I've never seen one of them succeed either, and I have to say I hope this one doesn't. This one is uglier than most.
Tournament purses are way up.
There have never been more millionaires on the PGA Tour, and yet the TPA is standing up and insisting on rewards for mediocrity. Edwards and Larry Rinker. Have you noticed that Mark O'Meara, David Duval, Tiger Woods and Fred Couples aren't out there waving the TPA flag. Easy, say a lot of people. Those guys are making so much money that this doesn't really affect them.
