I am including a roster of "legendary" players in the new LVC. These are former players no longer neither on the PGA or Champions Tour. I have accumulated the list below. Are there any others that I may have overlooked, or players on the list who are still active that should not be on the list?

Looks a pretty comprehensive list but two names immediately jump out as still playing.

Ernie Els, Padraig Harrington (Padraig played on the PGA tour only a couple of weeks ago).

Not sure about - K J Choi and Mike Weir. Perhaps others know about those two.

Mike Weir played in the Masters this past week. I don't know Other than that, I don't how much he plays.

One name missing is Lee Elder.

I think people still playing werent intended to be on the list. My question is - What does LVC stand for?

LVC is an upgrade to GBVC - good explanation here - viewtopic.php?f=8&t=790

I am very much looking forward to its release.

Should I add David Feherty and Gary McCord?

The list was derived from players who either no longer play or were not in the top 130 or so world golf rankings. I decided to include those and others lower in the wgr. LVC will have its own wgr. So, when through the legends list will be those players who have not played on a tour in a few years or more. I have gone through the list of players on pgatour.com and will add more players to rosters.

I am going to make LVC to where you can make a custom roster and pick players from either tour or the legends roster.

Do you still hope to have it ready early next year? I'm waiting patently.

I'm hoping a first version will be ready then. It may only be a single tourney and not a whole season at that time, but who knows. Ultimately it will be a season over season version just like GBVC.

As for Mike Weir-Any former winner who makes the cut...that works for me! Actually he lives in Utah and is in semi-retirement-and probably still too young to be included here.

Lee Elder definitely belongs on the list! But there are a couple of Canadians who would fit the format...George Knudson and Al Balding.

I'm attaching an Excel File showing their PGA records (note the Fresno Open playoff! )
You may find a few other names that also qualify.
