Like parents sometimes say: "Because we said so!"
Just like the golf ball golf US Open, PGA Championship, or (British) Open, it's what they call it, therefore it's what it is.
It's the knowing at the end that if you win THIS tournament, you will be called "World Champion" for all time.
While all of this is correct, it's not as simple as choosing to call it a world championship. The fact that sponsors recognize this as the world championship both in bonuses and signature discs validates that this is the world championship.
It would be one thing if the PDGA said "no this is the world champion" and no one outside of them recognized it.
