It seems like this has been one of the least eventful on the course seasons in a long time. There’s only one or two good players who are showing up to win each week. Prior years it was definitely more. We aren’t getting many real shootouts with a lot of the top names. Too many runaways or two man runs, sometimes including a top player against a nobody having a career week.
Yeah. There have been 6 signature events so far. The Sentry was down to the wire, but each one since has been a sleeper... Hideki by 3 at Riviera, a Scottie blowout at API, Scottie pulled away at Heritage, and now this past week. Then the Masters was a sleeper too. At least Sawgrass was nice - but that's a full field. And then there was the shortened event at Pebble... that's certainly not helping things on the 'eventful' scale.
The non-signature events have seen three playoffs, plus that Jaegar win which was nearly a six man playoff. Also the Dunlap amateur win. I think they're feeling the shrunken fields in the signature events. Could use a few more mid-tier guys having heaters and competing. LIV has similar depth problems but having one fewer round for guys to pull away tends to keep them closer.
