We're only a week and a day into the Web.com Playoffs that determine the second 25 PGA Tour cards for 2014, out of a total of 50, and already two guys with some experience say they like the old Q-School better.

"I like the simplicity of the old Tour School," Johnny Miller said. "I like the fact that a great player, let's say a Ben Crenshaw, comes right out and finishes second and first. You know, he's so good that he should be able to just basically win the Tour School and then just go out and kick butt on the Tour."

"For crying out loud, Jack Nicklaus won a major championship his rookie year," Chamblee said. "Hal Sutton won a major championship his rookie year, to say nothing on the impact this is going to have on international golf." He added that international golfers will now have to come and play a season of what he labeled mini-tour golf before they can graduate to the PGA Tour.

In the past, PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem has said that players can still earn a spot by getting exemptions to PGA Tour events and winning enough money to get in the top 125. Historically, you could count those on two hands: Justin Leonard, Tiger Woods, Ryan Moore, Gary Hallberg, Bud Cauley (although he was not able to keep it), Scott Verplank and now Jordan Speith.

Mickelson and Verplank won PGA Tour events as amateurs,...
