JD is a hack & will drink his 7K he got for making the cut (but did
not get to finish) in less than a week.

Just wait until Tiger or Phil gets told they don't get to play on the
weekend. Watch sponsors have heart attacks, networks go ballistic, and
Tim Finch-Brain magically disappear.
This is truly the stupidest rule I've ever heard of in ANY major
professional sport, and it drops the PGA down to the level of Pro
Wrestling as far as sports to be taken seriously. At least Wrestling
admits it's fixed.
This rule needs to be abolished NOW, before the next event starts,
unless the PGA Tour is happy to be looked at as a laughing stock. How
much does Tim Finch-Brain get paid to come up with stuff like this?

Don't you mean entertainment in 49 states but real in NJ?

I agree, if you make the cut you play Saturday and Sunday.

Is it really that new???? They've been doing it at Pebble every year for as
long as I can remember.
