I don\u2019t want to feel compelled to watch golf every week for two months straight. There should be some build-up between tournaments to get the golf fan taste buds salivating.<\/p>\n<p>This is why I propose that the Presidents Cup, Ryder Cup and Seve Trophy be combined into one Super Cup. It would be a bigger draw all around and it would allow the Cup anticipation to build up for a full two years. Further, it would give the players, who if you ask me, look cupped-out, a well deserved break from cup competition.<\/p>\n<p>The format I propose would be similar to the current Presidents Cup or Ryder Cup formats except the players were play in sixsomes. Yes, I know. That is unheard of. But that would only make the Super Cup more spectacular. It would be three-way matches with an international pair, a U.S. pair, and a Great Britain &#038; Ireland pair. Or, the event could be turned into a two week golf bananza and a round-robin format would be employed.<\/p>\n<p>There are many possibilities. Any one of them would be better than the current onslaught of Cups we\u2019re dealing with today.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I\u2019m a huge golf fan.
