Champions Tour Rookie Of The Year

[DanoCanuck]

I know this tour doesn't get talked about all that much but I love it. Maybe it's my age or hanging on to the old heroes but it's a great tour. This might not go over well but, I think it exceeds the LPGA tour. Have no idea about the prize money comparisons but it just feels more exciting. Of course there are some dud events but it's better to watch IMHO than LPGA (except majors). Anyone got a vote? 
 

- I might not even have the right guys (age wise) but it's close 
 

Ernie Els...

Retief Goosen...

Mike Weir...

Jim Furyk...

Rod Pampling...

Alex Cejka...

 

My vote: Jim Furyk 

 

What say you?

The skirts & flirts tour is a boring joke to watch.  All it really is is a watered down fashion show...well except for the Asian players, most of whom have some sense of how to dress in a professional manner.

I don't seek out the LPGA but will watch it if it's on. Most of them (except the bombers) don't hit it much farther than me so I can relate. The 'old' guys still bomb it out there with the new tech...

No Zalatoris?  They're screwing him over also!

Phil won a "actual" major and 2 tournaments in 2020/2021 (the 2 seasons were merged). Does the PGA Championship count for anything in this case?

WTF are you talking about? When did the Asian female players take over the PGA Champions Tour? Did you actually read the thread title?

The LPGA is currently the best tour in golf! Fun to see some different styles of golf. I just wish Paige Spiranac were on that tour. Those ratings would be through the roof. Ignoring my mini-tangent, I think there is more depth on the LPGA Tour then there is on the PGA Tour. The last 13 majors have been won by 13 different players.

Goosen is not a rookie.

Agree 100%. I've watched far more LPGA in the last couple years than even PGA. Tons of talent and a lot more fire to win.
