Before you “tut-tut” that the tournament is run by the PGA of America and has a long-established history of being played, understandably, in America, hear me out.

The various PGAs of the world are something of a brotherhood, sharing the common thread of being charged with running the associations of golf professionals in various countries and “growing the game of golf”.

There is a kinship between golf pros and associations around the world, so working together is not that big of a stretch when it comes to a tournament.

Yet this about so much more than those who are in charge of the event in question.

The PGA Championship has often been thought of by some as the poor cousin of the men’s majors, with The Masters being held at Augusta National, U.S. Open the toughest test in golf and The Open played on the links around England, Ireland and Scotland giving each a true identity.

Once owning a unique point of difference as match play, the PGA now hitches its wagon to the strongest field in golf via the top-100 of the world rankings supported by other invitations.

As the world ranking debate and process rolls on concerning LIV Golf, it will be hard to argue that the PGA has the strongest field if it continues to use the Official World Golf Ranking as the primary yardstick determining the majority of the field.

LIV has of course disrupted the professional golf world as we know it, and the Greg Norman-led venture provided one of the strongest arguments for taking the PGA global earlier this year.

LIV Golf Adelaide saw large crowds that displayed what can happen when top players are taken to regions that rarely get the opportunity to see the likes of Phil Mickelson, Brooks Koepka and Dustin Johnson.

Imagine that success when adding a full field made up of players the PGA of America consider the best golfers in the world, by whatever method they will use to collect that group in the future.

Even PGA of America CEO Seth Waugh, perhaps unintentionally, threw his support behind the concept when talking LIV Golf.

"It will probably never happen, but we can dream, particularly given the ever changing state of elite men’s golf in the current environment." – Jimmy Emanuel.

“I think having more the fans deal with – get to see more of the great players together more often is a good thing. I think there's more interest in the game frankly as a result of all this disruption,” Waugh said.”

A move to take advantage of those crowds would also open the PGA up to using a greater variety of host venues that would showcase varied skills, and perhaps players, the way The Open does.

No one is arguing courses like Oak Hill this week are not major championship quality. However, with occasional exceptions like Kiawah Island, PGA Championship setups are closer mimicking U.S. Opens, further muddying its identity.

Imagine a PGA at Royal Melbourne on the Composite Course with Cam Smith as the home hero? Or major winners Jon Rahm and Hideki Matsuyama getting a chance to play a major championship in their home country?

That’s a golf tournament that would garner plenty of attention, and a more memorable spot in the history books than say a seventh major at Oak Hill.

Yes, America is the biggest golf market in the world and that’s why even with LIV’s success around the world they are clearly targeting the U.S. as a main focal point for their product.

And with that in mind, plus the PGA of America factor, as well as broadcast and sponsorship arrangements in place, let's keep the PGA there for the majority of the time but every couple of years take it around the world.

I am fairly certain if a young Aussie watched a PGA in their home country it might shift the mindset that their preferred major to win are the Masters or Open Championship.

It will probably never happen, but we can dream, particularly given the ever-changing state of elite men’s golf in the current environment.
