Lav: 我认为PGA巡回赛的巡回锦标赛正在经历又一次改革。起始杆数制已经取消，现在要变成一场纯粹的比赛了，我想大多数球员都同意这一点。每个人都认为奖金数额需要改变，需要找到一种方式来奖励常规赛的表现。未来的巡回锦标赛可能会缩小参赛选手范围，他们将使东湖球场更具挑战性，他们正在听取球迷的意见，我想球迷希望看到更接近标准杆的成绩。 Rex: 我认为现在的改革本质上是回到了原点。自2019年以来，我们拥有的冠军并不是所有的偏差或异常或侥幸。72洞比杆赛是决定当周冠军的最佳方式。现在的情况并不能让我们更接近赛季冠军的目标。让PGA巡回赛球员决定他们的超级碗的未来有点被误导了。我认为他们只会缩小球道，增加长草区，试图使球场尽可能坚硬。
