If the answer is yes makes sense to me.
If not the records will be meaningless

Exactly!
There is something known as the APGA today (Alternate PGA), which consists of minority golfers. They usually have the sponsor of a PGA tournament invite one of their players as an exemption. I don't believe any of them has ever made the cut much less seriously compete to win. That tour is far from "equal". But sooner or later they may produce a superstar, one that might even set some sort of "record" if the revisionists of the future declare that tour to be "major" and merge stats. Personally, I find this assault on one of the last meritocracies deplorable.
