I wrote this post hoping that they would see the true desire of the golfing community at WGT. I honestly think more people would pay for a tournament if it was only a dollar a round.
It looks like the average masters tier tournament has around 35-40 players. I don't know how many players there are in the master tier but you could probably increase the number of players in the field by six or seven times by just lowering the price. Even if its two dollars you would see a big increase.
Now what I am wondering is the reason for eliminating the tournaments is from the time necessary to be able to verify each player. This I imagine could be time intensive and take away from the true development of the site. I think at the site is still in the beta stage there should be an open communication with the players about the direction of the tournament golf. As a competitive player I don't spend time practicing and buying nine dollar drivers and 12 dollar iron sets and have no chance to win it back.
I hope I am not premature in writing this and there is premium tournaments coming down the line. I personally enjoy playing and think this is a truly outstanding product. I will state that my favorite part was the premium tournaments.
