We have bold ideas for golf we'd like to see happen (even though we know they likely won't). This is the first in our annual series for "Bad Takes Week," where we share a brash, thoughtful and possibly harebrained idea and then defend it. (We like to think our first batch of Bad Takes was pretty good last year, but we don't see any shot clocks or 54-hole fall tournaments yet.) Here's the first bad idea for 2024. We hope you enjoy it.
In theory the PGA Tour’s season-ending Tour Championship should be a crescendo, the culmination of a thrilling year with an elite field and a handsome payout for a worthy champion. But—can we be honest here?—the event in its current form is malfunctioning. It’s stale, sleepy and utterly forgettable. Fortunately for the PGA Tour, our annual “Bad Takes Week” is here, and I have taken it upon myself to fix it.
