  The same players are still going to be at the top

  Not  necessarily, at the time of writing only 5 legends and 29 tour legend who broke 60 in the 1st round have broken 60 in round 2. 

  One Legend has now dropped outside the top 160 after shooting a silly score in the the 1st round because his 2nd round was so bad. " Fair play to him for not WD by the way".

  Of the 2 guys who shot the lowest rounds of us all, one only just broke 60, and the other didn't manage it.

  Look at all the TL's who have WD at the back of the leaderboard.

  Yes there are still quite a few to complete R2....but I'll put my house on it that they are hammering the course to death in practice before they are ready to go for it officially.

  Single play is the ONLY way to reveal the true best players!

  +1 mate for sure. Just look at the TL leader board. Speaks for itself. Some shooting 8-12 strokes different....lol. I would say single play makes a huge deal.

  Bottom line mate single play tourneys will never happen. Not about virtual golf mate.

  Yeah I have to agree, I put in my earlier post that we all know why we have unlimited. For me, though, it's the insulting of our intelligence when WGT refuse to admit that it's all just down to money making business, and they try to roll out some dross of a reason.

  I still think that they would make quite a nice profit from entries and ball  usage if they make it 20c to enter (that's just a top of my head number) and 4 rounds of single play.

  I've just rechecked the TL leaderboard and the worst of the 60 breakers to shoot a bad Rd2 has a difference of 9 shots....58 & 67....and the worst Legend is 16 shots!! 58 & 74 !

  The ONLY reason they got those 58's is because of unlimited !

  Then it's not free. It's free because of the ads we have to watch.  The ads that crash the game repeatedly and cause so many problems on this site.

  If it is unlimited play, they make money on the ads that run when the game restarts.  So to inflate the number of hits an advertisement gets, they let a player restart the game over and over.  Numbers say lots of hits on ad, lots of income for WGT.  Lower number, lower profits.  Easy math really.

  The top players just need to execute, they do not need to practice/etc before playing...what you see in UL, is their very lows scores when they executed, sure, single play may have eliminated them from the top of the board, but not as many would be as you think (third person referring to "you" )

  FWIW, I don't like UL plays either...here on WGT Tourneys, or even in my CC tourneys...I think we have 2 or 3 UL (CC) going on, but I just can't get up for them...but as mention before, not just the ball usage revenue, but the repeated ads as well generate income.

   

  It's not changing.

  That may be me. :) Shot 64 in the single play after starting +1 through 3 holes. 

  I agree it should be single play but it never will be. Single play over the course of the year will still produce the same best players as unlim play. Theres just a random factor for good/bad rounds over the year for any given player in single play. Some random might win a month or two, but if they were to do two single play rounds...you would see familiar names on the top every month. 

  Either way...it will never happen. The serial rainbow vomit-er tells you why above.

  Single play is better, single play is fairer, single play will show who the real top players are.

  But that's just my opinion.

  Apparently many people share your opinion.

  I sure as hell do.
