I'd vote Sunday 12 AM UTC. Monday 12 AM UTC means that early risers wouldn't have any weekend days to get pre-cut rounds in, as they'll be halfway into Monday before the next event opens. With Sunday 12 AM UTC, the Pacific guys can still get rounds in until 9 PM on Saturday. Pacific is 8 hours back... they would need to get their rounds in by 4-5pm local time (season dependent). It'll be an adjustment either way, but if the tour is at risk and keeping it "Sunday" makes things more accommodating for them, I may have to tilt that way despite it being more beneficial if it switched on Monday (or coincided with the real tours we were mirroring - but how long that continues could change with the re-branding). |

We're really only talking about a difference of 8 hours earlier in start compared to what 2019 was, right? 12am UTC instead of 8a UTC
So if the tourney week starts on Sunday 12a UTC (9p Sat EST) - and you're used to playing your rounds Sunday, Monday or Tuesday - it would be no different than the past - except just it starts 8 hours earlier.
so if say the Traveler's starts on Thursday for the IRL PGA - and the in-game one starts the Sunday before - that's really the same week - am I missing something??

In simple terms, Option A is 8 hours earlier than the 2019 timings and Option B is 16 hours later than the old timings (for start, cut-line and finish). I like to only play 2 rounds prior to the cut so I don't waste time on rounds 3 and 4 if I don't make it. That for me (in Australia) is easier with Option B. Edit: Or is cut-line timing not moving Doyley? |

Yikes! What a brain-fart on my part! lol |

I’m retired. I play whenever I want. I vote A as it seems to help admins.

Option A takes away the chance to play my final rounds here in Australia on a Sunday arvo. So has to be option B for me.

I'm still confused on the timing, so I won't put a vote in the poll, but I will obviously stand with whatever day makes it easier for admins. That's my choice.

I think you should do whatever time suits you best. Your the ones giving your time to set up the events.
The rest of us need to like it or lump it

I am all for whatever is best for the admins and the site. I am sure we can all make adjustments if it came down to it.
