I'm in the vast minority on this and probably for good reason, but one of my favorite viewing tournaments of the year is the Wyndham (final regular season event) to see guys in that 110-175 range either grinding or throwing caution to the wind in order to hang onto or steal a spot on next year's exempt tour. When the player is on the green with a 6-footer and the greenside monitor shows "projected FedEx finish 125", that's some pretty good drama right there, both from a golf and humanity angle.
But you're right, that's not the appeal for the casual golf viewer.
You're talking about maybe two minutes of coverage.
