Oakmont missing from brackets

  I play a lot of bracket tournaments and every course is featured except for Oakmont. Why? Torrey Pines appeared pretty quickly in the brackets but even though Oakmont has been back for ages, it never appears in a bracket.

  I would also add that best of Par 4 and best of hardest etc. also never appear, but best of bandon, par 3 and par 5 do.

  Is this true for everyone or is it something my end?

  As for Oakmont they always were very protective of their course. That is why you don't see any Oakmont holes on any of the best of courses, Perhaps the agreement they have with WGT doesn't allow WGT to use Oakmont in brackets. Also there is only one RG tourney using Oakmont.
