Billy Horschel is one of the most outspoken golfers on the Tour. Meanwhile, he has a lot of potential to become one of the best players on the PGA Tour. But sadly, Billy hasn’t been able to translate his talent to performance. Horschel has six PGA Tour wins and two European Tour wins in his career so far. However, he hasn’t won a major championship in his career so far. 

Meanwhile, he is currently competing at the DP World Tour Championship in Dubai. Moreover, with the withdrawal of Jon Rahm, there are only six players from the field of 53 players who can win the season-long Race to Dubai title. Furthermore, there are only two players Collin Morikawa, and Billy Horschel, who can win achieve this without even winning this weekend.

Billy Horschel wants PGA Tour to be more competitive

“We should make the tour more competitive,” Billy said“We would change the way the money pays out where the top 30, 40 guys get paid a lot of money, and then you don’t get paid as much down below. So it really pushes guys to really do everything they can to be the best player they can be.”

Moreover, he said instead of giving 125 cards every year, PGA Tour should cut it down to 100 and Korn Ferry cards from 50 to 30. “Now you’re getting the better players week in and week out,” continued Billy. “Doing that takes care of any other tour that comes along to compete against the PGA Tour or the European Tour.”
