I agree with Ironking.
If you have done your time and you are a competent to good legend, then you should be good enough to accept the challenge of tour masters and master on closer tees.
Okay, some TMs and Masters may avoid tiering up by playing few stroke games and that gives them an advantage in credit MPs and tournaments. But, average legends shouldn't be playing TMs in credit MPs, unless they are willing to accept a possible loss.
For example: I have a small Country Club. At the moment I am running an easy STA 18 and offering balls as prizes. Now, if I win I keep my credits as I don't have to pay out a prize. Two of my regular players are both TMs and they are first and second with 61 posted. I am 3rd with 63. I have two days to post a good back 9 61 or better it with a 60.
I like that challenge. One of the TMs as an average of 61.45. A few more CC 9 tournaments and he will move up. The other doesn't play so often.
Am I better than them overall? Probably. My litmus test is that I add in a weekly CTTH, also for ball prizes. I, much more often than not, win those.
WGT will provide extra equipment. With so many players now legends who own all the best equipment, they need to squeeze a bit of cash out of them. The balance is providing game improvement equipment that offers more shot options to regular players, but doesn't make the game too easy. i.e. shots still need to be hit correctly taking into account all the factors. I would like to see a cheaper set of balls that have higher feel ratings. Say 120/130 credits a sleeve with 3 feel points, 1/2 distance/spin points.
I suspect many legends are not so fussed anymore about what a TM or Master can do. For me, its all about what I can do. And I have no worries about playing against any tier. I go into those games for fun, and wouldn't play a long term TM for credits anyway.
