From: locode on 13 Jan 2008 21:02 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?

How > much does Tim Finch-Brain get paid to come up with stuff like this? I agree, if you make the cut you play Saturday and Sunday.

They didn't play fast enough, so they > don't play the weekend. Is it really that new???? They've been doing it at Pebble every year for as long as I can remember.
