   Big whup if it’s a Monday or even Tuesday finish. This is the final major of the year. Players have nothing else to do until the FedEx Cup finals.

   It is all about the MONEY…TV and the commercials pay the big money….as with most professional sports the actual playing of the game is only to benefit the sponsors chance to sell their products. You see it first hand when the courses at Pro tournaments could all be set up to make par a good score for the best of pros…but do you think club and ball companies would stand for pros having wining scores 4 and 5 under every week….no way that Pro V1 has to be bring in a 15 to 20 or more winner…and the M 1 driver better be finding a fairway 330 yards off the tee… and the public, sure they allow for the a couple tough tournaments (U S Open) but would they pay money and watch each week if the number one player in the world was winning with a score only 4 or 5 under each week…….Money it is all about the Money

     Yes it’s TV money, the advertisers are the sponsors, so the practicality of moving up the tee times and getting the day finished wasn’t an option for them when millions of advertising dollars would have had to have been shifted around and the lawyers would have had a field day making OT on the already astronomical money they make. At the same time, without the TV, the game would not be where it is today as big as it is now. But the truth is, the game could be played without all the money and TV, it has enough, it could just go on like it had been before TV coverage came along, but nobody will admit to that in any major sport that is covered this way on TV.
