Which probably helps everyone not named McBeth or Tattar

Thanks. Thats the first and only explanation I've seen about it. Nothing playoffey about it though.
To me European Open, Worlds and USDGC are it. Moolah is great and all but these have prestige.
Glad about 4 rounds at Maple Hill, my favorite course to watch pros on.

Someone needs to photoshop that into an album cover. Sounds like a barbershop quartet to me
The tour championship is more of a play-in than a playoff. I imagine there is a lot of prestige and motivation to make and play in the final championship....not to mention a lot of cash. It seems to mimic the PGA Fed Ex playoffs.
I would argue that the European Championships have a long way to go to reach this level of importance and the USDGC have become irrelevant. With no real opportunity, other that a few thousand golfers paying for DGPT sub, to watch live or post production, the USDGC has lost all importance, IMO. I am not sure who even won last year and will likely no be interested enough to find out who will win this year.
DGPT: Let's make the favorite course of the year a 4 round tournament for the playoffs!
Mother Nature: Nah, thanks though.

I bet you can guess who won in one try.

Couldn't agree more personally. They decided it was time to cash in but I think they built the walls too soon. I could see it becoming a niche event in short order as it disappears from the mindspace of those who aren't super hardcore viewers. My 13 y/o already often jokes that it's too bad they stopped holding the USDGC. Same thing will happen (in our house) if DGPT ever decides to cut out post-production.
Other thing I'll note is the MVP Open is the last tourney I care about this year . . . because it's the last event in our group's SkipAce fantasy league. My son & I know a crazy amount about 100-150 pro players because of that. Everything goes hand in hand (DGPT, PDGA, Jomez, etc) but I think SkipAce is underrated when considering what promotes the pro game. I probably wouldn't have heard (cared) about more than a few dozen top pros if it wasn't for our fantasy league.

For viewers salty about the PPV, maybe.
I think for the pros they do care who gets their name on it.
And thats why I care, too.

USDGC remains the second most prestigious title in disc golf by a wide wide margin.

"September 22nd, 2022: Due to severe weather conditions, including heavy rain and lightning, on the ground during the first round of the 2022 MVP Open at Maple Hill, play was suspended twice on Thursday, most recently at 11:45 AM ET.
Since play was suspended, the DGPT operations team has assessed the course and deemed it playable. FPO round one will resume at 2:45 PM ET. Staff members are still on the course working to ensure that it is in the best shape it can be for the remainder of the FPO round.
As a result of these weather delays, MPO round one will begin on Friday, September 23rd. The MPO side of the tournament will only be three rounds with the third and final round still taking place this Sunday, September 25th.
Due to the event now only being three rounds for the MPO division, and due to the severe weather experienced during FPO round one, neither division will be subject to a cut for the final round. "

I've never understood how there are people who are so into disc golf to post on forums like this one while simultaneously being unwilling to pay 6 to 12 dollars a month to watch disc golf. Obviously, we'd all rather have everything in life for free. But if you are a big enough fan of the sport to spend your time on niche forums, how are you not willing to spend a couple of bucks watching it?

Cat & Marwede should be playing through Squalls and Hurricanes. Dunno about the rest of the field. :\
If you are referring to USDGC, that is a separate charge, even for those WITH current DGN subscriptions. IIRC, post-pro was an extra charge as well. Worlds is covered by the standard subscription, as are all other events. USDGC is the only one not covered.
Many think paying EXTRA on top of their subscription for one event, on what many consider to be a bland layout (not a fan of all the roped OB myself either) simply is not worth it.
YMMV.
