Re: Virtual Tour Format

  Just a suggestion but in the future if the Virtual tour could go to a similar format as the Virtual Open (Single Play 4 rounds) and even have a cut after the first two rounds it would make for a much more competitive and interesting tour. Anyone with tons of time on their hands can hit restart a million times and shoot a low score in the unlimited first round format. Just a suggestion. Anyone else feel the same way? Besides isn't it more realistic towards a real tour?

  Yeah, not a huge fan of the unlimited first round either.

  It made the Open very interesting.

  I'm not a huge fan of the unlimited qualifying but at the burn rate of balls, I doubt WGT would ever give it up.   My suggestion would be unlimited but no restarts.   You have to finish a round if you start or you are disqualified.   That would end the play the first 5 holes till you get 5 under par method and make players put in more to qualify.

  I would also like to see a little large qualifying field, maybe 10 strokes of thed or the first 300 players.    Only play the credits to the top 100 and ties after cutting after round two.

  I think the same players would win but it would make it more interesting.

  The format I would like is the same that the VUSO but on one month:

  - Unlimited qualification round for 3 weeks. The top 156 (+ties) is qualified but the result doesn't count for the final score.

  - 2 single rounds to determinate the standing.

  I think everyone would be happy with that format, WGT and the players.

  Yes agree 100% the unlimited tourneys are really boring and i have better things to do then make the game more boring than it is by hitting restart to get qualified. If i dont qualify in single play fine...its over and move on.

  Plus one even if I like what suggested from both Mike and Joe.

  The condition is that WGT gain huge money from balls recharge and more unlimited play events are rolling more cash will be pay for sleeves, or at least you have to score big at first tee in the unlimited to be sure that your final will be enough to cut the line in one single.

  True indeed is that the "restart" link is a sort of safe when you it a double bogey in a par.

  many times we asked this to WGT,  but Money it 's money for them .
  I would be very glad if it were so , but I doubt .
  One solution would be 15 days of unlimited ( 1st round ) 

  and then three round singles play .
