Hi everyone ,
What happen to two big Monthly? i.e Monthly Tier Open and Monthly Multi round Tier Open where the top 3 players win the good amount of credits, well I went through in this forum and read everyone thoughts some are against this change and some are in favor, and I respect everyone thought and feelings.
Here is my thought about those changes in monthly tournament :
I m sure many top tier players are upset with these changes especially tour legends to tour champions but as a tour master I feel this is good move by WGT because I started playing monthly and made good score many time like 64 or 62 but then I stop later, the reason is I know on the last day of month someone see my score and beat it eventually (esp if someone is restarter or having multiple account ) can easily beat my 64 or 62 score easily and then only best 3 will won.
But still I took the risk in January 2022 Master Monthly open because the course was BEST OF PAR 5, I thought I can make good score and well I made great score and even become tour master on 9th Jan 2022, I lead the leaderboard till 30 Jan but on 30 Jan evening some 3-4 players made less score compare to me, well it is clear now who won it. :)
Many time I saw some players won like Monthly in tour Pro and Monthly in Master Tier as well as Monthly in Multi round in Tour Pro Tier in same month and well because of that many good and honest player lost their credit and get disappointed even they play good game and this was happening each month especially in low tier from pro to tour master .
So that's why I support this move by WGT that they made monthly in one course like this month it is congressional for every tier so even a low tier promote with in a month can't enter again in monthly.
Though I agree with higher tier players disappointment also because now WGT divided the prize money in top 70 players and first place prize is very less. Also agree with @JSmithers one line that there are many tournament like this where prize money distribute in top 70 players and everyone get a very small piece of apple pie in that prize distribution.
So I have a suggestion regarding Monthly tournament @WGTNico's
1. A Monthly should be tier less, WGT should set the clubs , conditions and even ball so everyone be equal ( Let's see first time who is really a best player in WGT golf ( no discrimination on the basis of club, balls and tier, even if WGT want set the monthly with rock ball or the ball they use in winner circle )
2. WGT make sure in monthly whomever enter get exact same club , same distance , same green and even same kind of wind ( make sure it shouldn't happen that one player getting Tail wind but other player getting down wind or side wind ) Everything should be constant for every player , then only we know who is the best and the best players deserve highest credit :) .
3. Monthly should be a single play (which I think already a single play) and no one can see other score till the tournament end. And the entry fee should be 200 for both Monthly open and Monthly Multi round.
4. Now about a Prize money - Well I calculate current purse from Pro to Tour Champion and the total purse is 111,500 credit so this can be distribute into top 10 players only( if the above procedure follow and monthly will be tireless if everything all condition and even club and balls is constant for every player)
Like 10th- 1500 , 9th- 2000. 8th-3500, 7th-6000, 6th-9000, 5th-12000 , 4th-16000, 3th-18000, 2th- 20500, 1st- 23000 = 111,500 credit. :) (of course it will be divide if in one position more than 1 player or 2 player , well in that case if players not wanna divide the prize credit, WGT also sent a shootout for those player who is clashing in same position in TOP 10 . On 29th of the month each top 10 will get shootout (in feb 26th of the month) so actually can decide the top 10 and declare result on 1st of each month and begin new monthly :)
5. This same can follow for Monthly Multi round also :)
6. WGT also make sure each month condition will be change and different like if February it is Champion tee and Champion green and moderate wind, March can be different tee and different green speed ( like tournament green ) and slow wind , if all clubs and ball is constant for everyone then it is not a problem and in my view , the best player is the one who can play any green and any condition or wind .
So that is my suggestion and view , hope all of you agree , might be someone disagree also . But that what I though about Monthly :)
Thank you
With Regards

{P.S. @XAmzing Trace , Hello Sir, I read u challenged (Samspayed) Scott for a 10000 credit match, He is Mr. Miyagi lol , he don't fight and take challenges for money or credit , I m Daniel LaRussoo lol. (Just got this funny thought). I can take your challenge but sadly I don't have that much credit :( May be we can play for pride or for your happiness 1000 credit , I m sure u can beat me easily and well I will learn something. Well I wanna be top player :) , but might be I beat u in game and then after that I can challenge also @JSmither lol ;). U can choose any course , any conditions and tee and green everything. I have just one condition we both should play with normal wgt free clubs and free ball (rock balls) and we both have same yardage so nothing will be unfair then :) ty :) }
