WGT will never change that, it is too much money for them in ball sales. There are lots of players that if they didn't have the short tees, they just wouldn't play much. There is a false sense of accomplishment in it but to Alosso's point, who cares, it doesn't mean anything. There are lots of players that made it to Legend, and Tour Legend without some of the "shortcuts" that are available today and to those that did, the name Tour Legend meant something. Today, it just means you put in the time and the games from whatever tees to earn the title.
Besides, WGT's computation for averages is no where close to real world. If they were to go to an actual PGA average computation, then there would be a whole new world out there, and in all probability, you would see more cheats going on.
