Understood though if you'd rather not air that laundry here.

Yep- I won't.

I understand. Still expected to see it on the list of 2023 Majors.

Or does it not qualify for this thread because it isn't "Awarded" to Innova (feat. Rock Hill) every year?

That would be my thought.

Your second paragraph is correct. This isn't a list of the majors - this is a list of the results of the bid process. USDGC, USADGC, and European Open (assuming it happens) are not awarded bids and do not have anything to announce. When we announce their dates, they will be on the list.

Who owns the European Open?

I'd like to know what qualifies as 'drama'. If there are issues, it seems to affect pros more than ams (money is involved - and they know the rules better than most ams). And there are more MPO players than FPO players - so I'm not surprised to hear more 'drama' comes from MPO players.

However, what is the 'drama'? A rules issue? Like Paul McBeth's "is it out or not" at that one island hole. I have been in a tournament (I think it was a B-tier) where a bunch of MPO players called the PDGA to complain about an island hole and how it was being played. I don't recall the TD saying any FPO or AMs complained....just that several MPO players called/emailed the PDGA while the round was being played and didn't have the courtesy to talk to him (the TD) first.

I'm not sure about the details of ownership, but EO doesn't go through the same bid process as these other ones.

Isn't it Spin18/Innova Europe?

IIRC, it's general whining/b1tch1ng/pettiness/attitude. I'd have to ask him to clarify, but that's maybe in my 6th tier of crap I'd care to do
