It's not the PGA, it's the International Federation of Professional Golf
Tours.

If you look at it, it's almost as important as any of the majors. It certainly has the strongest field. The top 64 players in the World Golf Rankings (which I admit, needs to be modified) are the only one's playing.

The number of OWGR points are awarded for these events is about the same as the majors and The Players.

While I agree, every stroke in stroke play seems to be more important, and this is not always the case. When player that has a ten stroke lead with five holes one or two shots don't mean much. A few strokes don't mean much to a player that is well out of the range of making the cut. Each match in match play is very important. If you lose your match you go home. It's like having a cut every day.

Match play is interesting because it's mano y mano. In stroke play, the guy who wins the tournament could finish hours ahead of other contenders and they are not seeing each other play. The idea of facing your opponent for eighteen holes and having to respond to him and he to you is what makes match play interesting.

Match play is a very interesting format for many reasons. Stroke play, however is a much better method of determining a champion.
