Scottie Scheffler has been VERY honest in an interview and Scottie Scheffler admits he would rather the PGA Tour just “kicked him out of the tournament” if he was playing badly rather than make him play on over the weekend to just keep sponsors happy!
Honesty is the best policy and I admire Scottie Sheffler for this! Scheffler was asked in the media centre at The Players Championships what he made of the PGA Tour’s decision to remove cuts in their limited-field Designated Events in 2024. The PGA tour’s decision has been compared against Liv Golf
Scottie Scheffler’s has made a very good start the Players Championship today and will be hoping to push on into the weekend. Scottie Scheffler’s views about cut marks were similar to Eddie Pepperell’s who plays on the DP world tour, which was released last week.
The reigning Masters champion and World No.2 spoke about his excitement to tee it up alongside World No.1 Jon Rahm and World No.3 Rory McIlroy for the opening two rounds this week. We can see that his excitement is turning into good golf with his fantastic performance on the opening day.
Scheffler can return to World No.1 providing results go this way and he finishes in front of both Rahm and McIlroy this week, that would be interesting! Schefflers best result at TPC Sawgrass is a tie for 55th but I would imagine he will be trying to improve this very quickly at the players championships!

WHO ELSE AGREES?
What’s next ? Everybody gets a trophy?
As a LIV fan that also enjoys watching PGA events, these moves don't seem to make sense. PGA tournaments having a cut is one of the most significant differentiating factors from LIV, and there's certainly been no shortage of criticism of LIV's no-cut format from players and executives. It's odd that they would introduce this format change, especially at this time. I would be interested to learn more details about the PGA's reasoning for the changes, because at face value it doesn't make sense in light of recent history.
cuts all day
I think they should have a cut Saturday, and eliminate any player not within 8 strokes, then raise the winnings for the rest. High stakes. It’s been since 1999 that a player came back from a greater deficit, so coming back 8 strokes down is in itself rare. Why should we watch some dude that’s 12 shots out plod around the course for a free lunch. Make this thing high stakes.
Want to kill LIV Golf? Do that. Yes, it’s revolutionary.
Cut
Cuts make the tournaments more interesting. 100% CUTS
keep the cuts
Keep the cut and let the other pga players also play. They earn there cards and then tell them there not good enough to play with the elite players. , so the big name rich guys just get richer and the so so players stay home and watch on tv that's a lot of bull shit .

CUTS!!!
Cuts. More entertaining
Cuts
The PGA is getting like LIV with No Cuts and $20m events.
Cuts!
Smaller fields (70); no exemptions; “tryout” Q School every year before the beginning of the tour (Top 70 get a one year tour card); and definitely new venues (no more “tour” of the same courses year in and year out).
100% keep the cuts
