This may have been true in the past but it's not anymore. The fields for non-major, non-playoff events is garbage.
Brendan Quinn from The Athletic is reporting that the top 21 players in the OWGR have only played in 7 tournaments together all year. In 34 weeks. Outside of the majors there are maybe 5 tournaments that have any sort of cachet and one if them isn't on any tour or pays any money (JP McManus).
