It’s time for a replay on Genesis

First, congratulations Cole Ruek. State Boise State Junior shot Monday 3.5-less than 69 about 69 years to make history as the first two-sided winner Genesis Collegiate’s Showca, shot with 18 holes that rewards one lucky winner. Nice to play, Cole.

This is said, this event should be reimmed again.

It does not hide the fact that the showcase is not what used to be – far from it. The early Winners of Zalatoris (2015), Sahith Theegala (2017) and Scottie Scheffler (2018) will include (2017), and the fields that relied on everyone Americans. PGA Tour Prosuuat also participated, usually narrowed their Alma Marene and contribute to a team competition in which the winning team would earn its $ 50,000 donation program. And finally, and perhaps the most important thing, the favorite faculty player no longer receives an invitation in Genesis of that week, which is now a limited-Polish signatory, but in July, but in July Barracuda.

With only the opposite field to capture and hefty price for reproduction ($ 33,000 per team), many college programs have decided on participation, especially with the dates of genesis that usually appear as the Spring Semester. Square forest Scotty Kennon was the highest player at this year’s field at no. 107 in the ranking table. Rueck is no. 506.

But what if I tell you, there was an opportunity to not be preserved once?

A few years ago, there were some rumbles that the exhibition could turn into all kinds of stars, like a former sunshine for the Sun-America Golf Classic, which used every winter in El Pasou, Texas. That tournament was last held in 2019. years, and Golf College was out of the first place of all stars since then. Obviously nothing materializations were to evolve on Genesis Collegian branches, but there may be hope that someone will revive this idea.

With the appearance of the University of PGA Tour, Alure to play PGA tour is higher than ever among the players of the highest faculties. Florida State Luke Clanton enjoyed historical running late, publishing a couple of racing finishes on PGA tour last season and translated that success in the probable PGA tourist card this summer; He is just one point for accelerated membership through the PGA Tour in the accelerated program, and made the championship of the Valshpar on the next month (he qualified his Valspar Collegiate last spring) – or any cut to the PGA tour – he would give him that elusive point.

Now, imagine that Clanton turned from Josela Ballester to the country of Arizona, David Ford, and a dozen other top players at the Faculty. In the previous season, players including the first season and other team, the first 10 players in the final PGA Tour in a higher ranking of falls and any players with 10 or more accelerated points in the moment of competition.

It would be hard to exempt the winner in Genesis as in the old man, but what if we offer you an exemption in Barracuda (or spring event of the opposite field to fit in the current windows in PGA tour) and Accelerated point? I think that would be enough to encourage the best players to compete.

College trainers could schedule around this event, and the sport would once again exhibit an All-American exhibition where the stars can fight tomorrow at one of the best stages of the PGA tour.

Thoughts?
