Winning streaks
Is there any particular reason why the winning streak records are split between pre-1990 and post 1990? Is it to be insinuated that it was easier to have winning streaks before 1990? And why was 1990 chosen? Why not 1989 or 1991.? It all seems a bit arbitrary to me. --GringoInChile 13:11, 7 June 2006 (UTC)
- In my understanding, the tour underwent some major changes in 1990. I may be wrong about this, but I think the "Masters Series" tournaments started then, as well as the introduction of the dual year-end championship. It is similar to how 2000 marked another series of changes in terms of how ranking points are done.
