Re: VT Winners and Twitch mandate

  The mighty Tasor has done it again.  My boy Craig aka Pittfan78 leads in the TL divison but realizes that it's only a matter of time before ole Hansi drops his 54 to take the title. 

  My question:  Didn't WGT post something stating that VT winners had to Twitch a "future round."  Did I imagine that?  If not, does anybody have that article saved?  I've yet to see either of these guys Twitch a round.  I'd also like to see Agassi Twitch something.

  Hell, i'd be willing to donate credits ($50!) to see these 3 titans go at it.  I'm sure many other people would love to see all of the WGT greats in "Twitch off."  We don't want to see fmags, walkoflife, young46, jayw, lizard.. sorry fellas.  I've watched all of your excellent videos already.  I'd love to see Seb Twitch a round.  FrenchConnect, Saurabh08etc... All those that go -18, -19, -20 every single VT.  Maybe we can find several players to pony up so that we can see all of these shy superstars show us their talent.

  And he will, just not until the 11th hour so it doesn't become a topic of conversation. You know, flying under the radar.

  Oh ok... so when did WGT say that the future round had to be?  Hasn't Tasor won VT events going back to 2015(?!?) with no recorded "future VT round" for us to view?  I assume WGT is paying all of these credits but what happens if the winners never Twitch a future VT round?  Or do they have to Twitch the round and WGT gets to see it and we aren't assured of seeing it?  I'd like to know.  Maybe Tasor has aready Twitched his round?

  I say we get a tourny going to see these other WGT greats that we've not seen yet.  WGT obviously is feckless.

  Excellent post Punk.....           Several weeks back, I posted very similar comments (actually lasted a week , I think....before it turned into a troll fest).  Unfortunately, I never received any realistic answers.  It was obvious there would be NO answers....so I just left it go.     However, afterwards.....  I did visit the "Golf Channel Web Page"...and clicked around the section where WGT (and players) are featured.  I have decided that when I see another VT Winner in this section (one's that have refused to satisfy a twitch, stream, broadcast requirement)......  I'll use the "Golf Channel Webpage" (area dedicated to comments )to broadcast and express my opinion and concern. Obviously the Golf Channel has a much more diverse and wider audience than WGT and / or Top Golf......... I certainly hope WGT  can withstand  the criticism that comes from a reputable, partner website......... a website where they can not remove the content and /or the spirit, opinion, and questions of the participating contributors............

  Why would it?  I've asked a simple question and really want to see these great players play.  I believe they are all legit.  Even I can score in the -11to -13 range a lot of times so I believe others can score better.   Players with all day to play (I work 60 hrs a week and have 3 kids under 10 yrs old) can memorize all of these putts easily.  

  I really just want to hear WGT tell us when these vt winners will post links to their recorded rounds or if they've already sent WGT proof.  That way we can stop asking every month.

  I'd link you to the last discussion about this that involved German winners but, alas, it was deleted.

  I see no reason for anything to be deleted...It is a legit question to something WGT said would happen!

  I agree, just going by the history of this topic.  This will get ignored.
