Could do the playoff format like we do the Gold & Silver Cups.

Top 30 play for the Gold Fedex Trophy; next 30 play for the Silver Fedex Trophy.

Also...attached is the current 2022 Fedex Schedule.

I also like the idea of separate tours for the same reason. It is good to have the guest tour concept where you can change from a course you don't like and there are some I really have trouble with.

I guess with a combined international tour every round then is virtually like a Major or WGC event ?

Just a thought but I love PGLS Tours and will play whatever the final result.

This is my favorite tour but I'm open to changes except any form of handicaps. Anything that resembles a handicap and I'm out. Nobody got a handicap to play Tiger.

From a PM I received:

Came to the same conclusion myself. I play the Pro Continental Tour. Fields are too small.

I am quite happy for the status quo re having seperate tours - maybe have more exemptions available or the ability to use more of the existing exemptions in each quarter (if that makes sense). So you could use more than 3 exemptions in each leg if you wished but no more than say 50% of the total exemptions available to you.

Make sure that a particular course is not used on different dates on the 2 tours would be another suggestion (assuming that this is already the case).

Even though i am not playing at the moment, I would say having the choice which event you play in each week rather than select at start of each Period would be good. A player could "jet" back and forth between the Tours. Smaller fields are inevitable as players slowly drift away. There will always be a hardcore group that will play but the leaderboards will slowly shrink, just how it is.

To combat this, maybe have one Tour with a Divisions style to it. Split into 2 "Divisions" with promotion/relegation after each third of say top 10?

Bit like the Euro Tour and the Pro Tour and likewise they have in US now.

Just some ideas.

I set PGA18 and PGA9 for over 2 years I based PGA18 on the USA PG tour and PGA9 on the European tour I found there were enough good European courses to use. My fear is that if the tours are combined there would be more courses from one continent used. Presently we have a good balance and the choices would be lost. I count at least 14 link type courses in My Tour schedule, my fear is this would be reduced. Lets keep the tours seperate just like in real golf

I have always liked the idea of the two separate Tours, no reason other than I thought it was a pretty cool idea. I understand with participation changes may need to be made. If you must go to one, I like the idea of a Fedex type playoff system, but I would involve everyone. The first of 3 playoff events could be opened to everyone, take roughly the top 56% for week two, and the top 43% from week 2 go on to the Tour Championship. This could be scored separately so that everyone (whether in the playoffs or not) could still play the tournament. This of course does add more work for the Admins and I would understand not liking that. Either way I am good, appreciate everyone's hard work and efforts.

If it remains twin tours, I would like to see an increase to the limit of guest tournaments one can play.

For a single tour, maybe add a Handicap leaderboard filter, so one would have another way to compare their play against the field. This may help keep current field size up as the weekend golfer sees his name even further down the gross leaderboard. Could even spark new interest in the Tour.
