What's with the PGA Tour Players?

The Senior tour players let the on course commentators interview them during the round, not all the time, but sometimes it happens. And some of the LPGA tour players wear microphones for the Golf Channel so we can hear what they are saying during the round. Why are the PGA tour players such sticks in the mud? Granted, I don't need Tiger Woods to wear a wire to hear his fowl language, but still, it would be nice if the PGA tour and the players would loosen up just a little bit like the other two tours. Why should we have to wait for guys like Fred Couples or David Toms or anyone else to turn 50 before we get to enjoy interviews during a round? And the only time I ever get to hear the under 50 set through a microphone is during the skins game after the season's over. I wonder if the pay differential has something to do with it. The more money there is, the less fan-oriented people are.
