Yes, it could happen in golf. But I’d hope not. Golf is immensely more popular than tennis. It has a much broader base to draw from (as well as develop). What I fear is a disinterest developing in that base when shown repeatedly we just can’t contend. We need contenders, and not just a fortunate few. If anything, that’s what the PGA’s legacy should be. As I noted, after all this IS the PGA.
Golf is more popular than tennis in the USA for sure, but worldwide I doubt it.
