The PGA TOUR will bring in approximately $700 million annually through its latest television contracts with CBS, NBC and Golf Channel, according to reports. The newest media rights deal included significant rights-fee increases while keeping golf on broadcast television, thus ensuring the widest possible viewership.

There’s no real need to change anything.
Thanks Pete..That might be your opinion but certainly not everyone's, I don't think. I'm not talking about broadcast deals and the prize money and media rights deal. I'm talking about the game as a spectacle wherein we witness more of the golfers using their entire skillset on the course..Of course, it's working great right now but no sport including golf ever sits still and doesn't tweak things..
