I really enjoy watching the secondary events, particlualry on Sunday. Guys on the way up/way down in their careers have given us some good finishes and back-stories. Nice to have a viewing option if The Heritage ends up with a yawner finish, which could happen if Scheffler actually takes this week semi-seriously.Alex Fitzpatrick is playing (as is Bill Haas) in this week's PGA Tour (secondary) event in Puntacana, DR. The elevated event is the Heritage in Hilton Head, where Alex's brother will be defending last year's title. Lots of action on Cam Young to finally breakthrough at Harbour Town. While many were expecting a Scheffler to withdraw, he is currently expected to play. Field is stacked.
I bet the politics, negotiating, and $ discussions re: which events will be signature are fascinating.Positioning coming into those tiny greens is way more important than distance.
Definitely feels odd to have a signature event the week after a major.
Love HT and Sea Pines.
Riviera is my favorite tour stop, but HT is up there. It's Pete Dye kinda pre steroids, and I also think this may be the best set of par 3s on tour.Harbour Town is probably my favorite course they play. Shotmaker’s course, Pete Dye, great par threes, the finishing stretch on the Sound…it’s awesome. Glad they’re pulling good fields these days. It was getting a bit hairy for awhile before it was designated as an elevated event. Masters-Heritage might be my favorite two weeks of sports.

Ah, so you mean actual capitalism (as opposed to government-funded "capitalism").I expect it to be completely sponsor driven.
Alex Fitz - sponsor's exemption? Haas - qualified?Good day for pro Deacs.

Bill has very limited exemptions based on his current status. LK is exactly right that even with this limited status, he got in. Hope he can find some part of his game and make a run in his 40s like Jay did.Alex Fitz - sponsor's exemption? Haas - qualified?
