Part 4/7:
The PGA Tour, functioning as a membership-based organization, is inclined to look out for its present members first. Yet, this approach appears shortsighted; it neglects the long-term interests of the game and its potential future stars. The ensuing decisions are likely to limit pathways for emerging golfers, thus restraining the sport’s growth potential. While the Tour insists these changes serve the community, they starkly contradict the very essence of the game’s meritocratic nature.
