Korean Tour external link template

I'm thinking of creating a {{KoreanTour player}} template missing ID and not present in Wikidata. on the lines of the others at Misplaced Pages:WikiProject_Golf/Templates#External_link_templates. This would link through to http://kgt.co.kr/players/profile.aspx?man_code=nnnnnnnn , eg K. J. Choi would be http://kgt.co.kr/players/profile.aspx?man_code=00000190 . The only issue is that pages are in Korean but the "translate to English" in my Chrome browser is helpful, although occasionally obscure (eg height = 신장 is translated as kidney. The page contains a lot of good stuff. eg the second option (결과 = results) gives season by season results.

Full 2020-21 PGA Tour Schedule published

Noticed that the PGA Tour have published the full schedule for 2020-21 today .

2020 ANA Inspiration

I am wondering why no one has updated the details of the field in this LPGA Major after it was released on September 4. I have a link which lists the final field here: https://golfweek.usatoday.com/2020/09/04/ana-inspiration-major-field-105-dinah-shore/ Also the 2019 winner will not be competing in this year's event.

The wildest Misplaced Pages major championship grids in golf history

Golf Digest, for the interested. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 07:16, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Hello Gråbergs Gråa Sång,
Just noticed this - yes they like to write about us. Also see here and here. The later link refers to a discussion on the main talk page from a few years ago: https://en.wikipedia.org/Talk:List_of_men%27s_major_championships_winning_golfers#Removal_of_yearly_winners.

@Chief disambiguator Yes, I've seen those. Media coverage of WP is one of my interests. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 06:27, 5 September 2024 (UTC)

Is the PGA an independent source for an article about a player?

See Wikipedia_talk:Main_Page/Errors#Independent_sources, for a discussion about this.

Extending awards parameters in infoboxes

Is anybody able to extend the amount of lines included in the parameters in players infoboxes? Currently limited to 10, Jon Rahm has now surpassed that amount so would be helpful if we could more to the parameters. Jimmymci234 (talk) 09:43, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

It's intentionally limited to avoid excessive information and bloating in the infobox - iirc, we discussed it when designing it and settled on 10. For those with an excess of awards and acheivements, just detail the most significant in the infobox and use the awardssection variable along with a section within the article to detail them all (see Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Gary Player, etc.). wjemather 11:05, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Olympic participation counted as a team appearance?

Xander Schauffele's participations in the 2020 (played in 2021) and 2024 Olympic golf competitions are mentioned under professional team appearances, despite the tournaments were only individual competitions. He was selected to represent his country, but there were no team competitions involved. I can't find any other player article were playing in the Olympics is counted as a team appearance. Suggestion: Remove from headline and just mention in article. Opinions? Regards, EEJB (talk) 14:38, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

Clearly not a "team" appearance in any meaningful golfing sense. Remove from that section I would suggest. Nigej (talk) 16:54, 12 November 2024 (UTC)
Done by Tewapack. Thank you. At the Summer Youth Olympics, there is a mixed team event. See Marcus Kinhult and Linnea Ström. I added the event among team appearances in the Renato Paratore article. Regards, EEJB (talk) 20:38, 12 November 2024 (UTC)

New England Classics: proposing name changes

There are two prominent golf events named the New England Classic on Misplaced Pages. I believe both names should change slightly.

In the 30 year history of the PGA Tour's New England Classic it was only referred to by this title for four years. Meanwhile, the phrase "Pleasant Valley" was more common, used seven times among a number of iterations. In addition, the event was always held at Pleasant Valley Country Club. So something like the "Pleasant Valley Classic" seems to make the most sense.

In addition, there was a developmental tour event entitled New England Classic (Nationwide Tour event) held during the early 1990s. However, it was never part of the Nationwide Insurance brand. Rather, it was sponsored by the Ben Hogan company for the first three years and then Nike for the last year. I think it should change to the "Ben Hogan New England Classic" as it was usually under this title.

Any opinions are welcome.

Regards,
