I had this thought with my idea for a 54 hole style event for pro golf

 

50 players (12 teams of 4 with two sponsor exemptions) 

 

1st Round is 18 holes Shotgun Start 

Cut to 30 players & ties

2nd Round is 18 holes Shotgun Start

Cut to 9 players (playoff for the 9th spot if necessary

Score reset except for player in First starts at -2

Final Round is Shootout format

After 3 holes cut to 8 players

After 6 holes cut to 7 players

After 9 holes cut to 6

After 12 cut to 5

After 14 cut to 4

After 16 cut to 3

After 17 cut to 2

 

It make the finish a little more interesting and you could interview each player who got eliminated after Tee Shots on the next hole

 

Podiums could be possible

 

Points system

1 - 25

2 - 20

3 - 15

4 - 10

5 - 8

6 - 6

7 - 5

8 - 4

9 - 3

Made Cut - 1

 

Seems a little crazy but it would make TV better 

 

 

would love to see something like this once.   would make the holes very interesting as they play reacting to the others.  Instead of score at the end, its more like a car race trying to figure when to pass or not, go for it on this whole or not..   or its like match play, except so many more   holes become decisive holes..  Now they are playing each other, and not just the course.

One can maybe build a bit on that. Lets say the winner gets a microphone and gets 5 or 10 minutes of making a personal recap of the round and the tournament, no commentator asking idiot questions like what it means for him to win 30 secs after holing the winning putt. Or say that greenside winners interview stays to get the hysteria but the TV show ending with the winners reflections, when he has had a couple of moments to digest his win, after price ceremony and all. 
 

 

 

Why would even one single player want to do that?

To avoid the stupid questions, having the pleasure to hear one’s own voice and a chance to make an epic impression on people. To make a short story instead of just give a fragmentary picture. For a starters.
