WGC Match Play
I wasn't speaking of the PGA as the governing body of the tournament, just as the main pro golf organization in the U.S. And my statement that the WGC in no way compares to the majors is just my opinion, which is not likely to change, at least for quite some time.
And just for the sake of discussion...
Really large leads the last day of a stroke play tournament are not common. More frequently there are several golfers who can still win right down to the last few holes. A large lead in the finals of a match play tournament would be even worse imo, not even making it to the later holes, with no other players to mount a challenge. And if a stroke play tournament is won by someone finishing hours ahead of the third round leaders, then something very special is likely to have occurred...either a group collapse by the third-round leaders, not that likely for all the leaders, or a spectacular round by the winner, which is a near certainty. That is always special to see.
