Personally, I think that the way things are being run right now in disc golf for "majors" is missing the boat.
There is a reason that in ball golf the majors are such hallowed events and for the winners there is historical significance as well as huge incentive for the players career in terms of being able to keep their card, receive future invites to majors, etc. One of the biggest reasons this is possible is because there are 4 majors in every year. That never changes. They have names that never change. They are the same 4 majors every year. They have been relied upon for many many years. They are tradition. There is also a reason its almost impossible to win the grand slam. It's because the best players in the world consistently come to these hallowed events and winning just one of them carries historical significance. The Masters, The US Open, The Open Championship and the PGA Players Championship. That's it, that's all.
Disc golf is missing this boat because by moving the majors around every year and using different names, the significance of the term major is eroded until it's just another term that gets thrown around that means very little. The time to build historical significance of events in this time of growth is NOW. By bouncing around and changing things from year to year it strains the fan base and undermines the true significance of winning a major for the player base.
I think I understand what the DGWT is trying to do with its vision and mission but piggy backing on the biggest events that are already in place seems weird to me. As far as I can tell, there are 4 majors in disc golf. The European Masters, the European Open, Worlds and the USDGC. Can't we just leave that alone and let the history of those events stand on their own? They should be stand alone big time Major events and winning just one of them in your career should qualify you for consideration in the hall of fame. And of course then there will always be that discussion of who is the best player to have never won a major. When you make events like the Aussie Open "majors" the meaning of winning a major becomes eroded to the point that it no longer matters. You are pretty much throwing the whole idea of reserving a few select tournaments that are reserved as the premier and true hallowed events in the game right out the window. And that's happening right in front of our eyes right now.
Also, having the USDGC also serve as the DGWT Championship is ludicrous. It's blasphemy on a level that is hard for me to really even explain. That gold jacket rocks tho. Keep that for sure.
Carry on.
