Message: [QUOTE="wsorbust, post: 523066, member: 10717"] I realize this isn't the point, but each of the four individual tournaments in golf are considered a "major" and in tennis a "grand slam". The reason they're considered bigger and better is because the field and play is tighter, conditions tougher, skills are valued, and an outrageous amount of prize money is awarded to the winner compared to the other tournaments. This idea of basically marketing a "grand slam" of poker is a wonderful idea in my opinion, but you would have to essentially grant "tour/membership cards" or some type of membership so that everyone and anyone just can't walk in and play because they have money. They would have to qualify before hand to a limited number of spots. Maybe 5% of the field would be "amateur" non-member qualifiers. To do this, you would have to drastically up the prize money and entrance fee because every tournament is giving away big money these days. What do you guys/ladies think? [/QUOTE]
