The Players Championship can’t be a major if it doesn’t have all the best players in the world. Banning LIV players excludes 3-4 of the best players in the world. Repeating is hard, and was a criteria for major status according to Chamblee (a PGA Tour shill if there ever was one) but they prevented Cam Smith from defending HIS win. Not very major-like.
The PGA Championship should go world wide. PGA is Professional Golf Association. To move that MAJOR to different PGA worldwide venues would forever cement its tenuous hold on to Major designation. Moving it back to August first is a step in the right direction. (But with people like Rea running the PGA of America there’s little chance they’ll be able to get out of their own way).
“To proclaim yourself great is vanity; to be proclaimed great by others is achievement.”
Substitute GREAT with MAJOR and it’s the same thing for golf.

No matter what Chamblee bleats.
Your statement about Don Rea is wrong. He did not get removed as president of the PGA. He got removed from the PGA Tour Board.

It was an inadvertent mistake. We all make them and in no way was it an attempt to create clickbait.
Fair enough.
