I think next year we should do some Euro Tour events... like Irish Open this week, Scottish next, as opposed to these garbage field tour events.

Okay, so does everyone want to add the Scottish Open for next week? In place of the John Deere? In addition? Or just wait until next season?

I'm honestly fine with either or.



Wasn't it you who said the major championship method was too complicated? :help:

Picking two players in two concurrent tournaments is hardly the same as the multiple tier, multiple point mumbo jumbo used for the majors.

No it is really is the same. Picking two players requires you to find the field and then find another site with their course/event history etc etc... takes a couple minutes. Picking a handful of players is basically the same except you can do it by owgr so just open up owgr and pick from the rankings. Probably is actually faster to do then the regular method tbh.

On the Scottish Open picks, we aren't gonna apply 3 picks rule and tiebreakers since its not a PGA Tour event, the field is so different. These are two bonus picks.

Tier 5:
Two golfers from OWGR 19 and on. Not typing up more than 130 names. Here's a field list. https://www.theopen.com/Players Pick two others not in the above categories.

*If you do not like any players in a certain range, then you can substitute
lower ranked golfers into that range (however the point values they receive will
be for that tier. Therefore substitutes should be made clear.

Tier 2:
Rahm
Tier 3:
Koepka
Tier 4:
Scott
Tier 5:
