‘The Tour Is Dumb’: Golf Fans Hysterically Disapprove PGA Tour’s Decision as WGC Match Play Comes to an Unexpected End

The WGC Match Play tournament has finally come to an end. As per reports, this year marks the final edition of the legendary tournament. Fans have had a variety of reactions to the end of the event, and many were disappointed.  In fact, when Golf.com’s Claire Rogers recently shared a picture, fans had all kinds of recollections of the event. An event based entirely of matchups rather than on points scored on all holes during the course of a day, inevitably made the tournament exciting. 

Fans react to viral WGC Match Play tweet

The PGA Tour has been hosting Match Play tournaments since 1999. It has always held great importance in the eyes of fans ever since some of the best players started being a part of the tournament. Moreover, the match plays have been the only WGC tournament being played in the last two years. On the other hand, the WGC Championship as well as the WGC Invitational were last played back in 2021.

Unfortunately, the PGA Tour recently announced that the tournament will not be played next year. In his statements, PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said, “For next season’s schedule, it didn’t work…But match play has been a staple out here. It’s been a staple of the DP World Tour. That will certainly be a consideration as we go forward”.

However, there were others who said that the PGA Tour should anyhow consider continuing with the Match Play events. In fact, some even called the tour ‘dumb’ for putting an end to the WGC event!
