I would like to see the pga champ. go back to match play format. It would set it apart from the other majors and add a twist. You could get some really nice matches. I would love to see Tiger and Paddy head to head for a major title. Just my thoughts

I agree. Although I'm not sure about making these guys play 36 holes a day. And the field is so large that TV would have a tough time covering it IMO.

I'm very interested in hearing everyone's thoughts on this...

The problem with Match Play has to do with television. In 2003 at the match play, Tiger, Mickelson, and Duval (world #3 at the time) all went out on Wednesday. Ratings suffered as Kevin Sutherland won. Also, is it fair that you could play the second best round of the day and lose? I would rather see the Fedex cup go to match play and leave the majors at 72 hole stroke play. Just my thoughts...

Yes, exact;y. To me, this is the forgotten major. It would certainly add some interest
