My one peeve this year is that they are using "featured groups" for the first 2 rounds. I don't know how many of these groups there are, but Rory McIlroy, Scottie Scheffler, Xander Schauffele were selected to play together. I don't know how the tee times were decided or if the players had any choice. But I think a golf tournament should be designed to treat all players equally, which means the tee times and pairings for the first 2 rounds should be determined randomly, not based on the players perceived abilities. Just my opinion.

But all players are NOT equal, their abilities are actual, not "perceived", and the viewing public wants to see the top players, not #865 in the OWGR unless he does something spectacular.
