Have you seen the amazing shots that have been made week in week out? Guys holing out chips left and right. For the most part, all the tournaments have been close right down to the wire. Watching guys jockey to make the cut for the next week has been dramatic. Seeing Rory win 3 out of 4 has been a thing of beauty to watch. And even with all that success just about every time he's paired up with Tiger, Tiger rises to the occassion and outplays him. I really enjoy watching the friendship between Tiger and Rory on the course. Love watching the short game play of Snedeker. Watching Phil scramble. Seeing guys like Garrigus come out of nowhere to challenge the big boys.

Its just been phenomenal golf in my opinion and I have loved every minute of it. Got home from work and watched all 5 hours of coverage yesterday, can't wait to do it again tonight.


Right; it's been great golf because the biggest names are playing well at the same time. I agree with you. It has been awesome to watch.

But what happens when the current point system prohibits Tiger, or Rory, or Phil from playing in these events? They could have played great golf all season long, but because of how the points are awarded suddenly Tiger or Rory doesn't "make the cut" to be entered into the next stage.

Suddenly, all of that great golf you've been enjoying is lost because of a point system.

That is where the system is flawed.



I don't see how that can happen. If you're playing well you will have enough points to qualify. Who played well this year and didn't make it? All the big names are there.

I don't see the problem with the pt sytem. Points are awarded all year based on how you play so what's the problem? And then in the playoffs points are worth more, as they should be since its the playoffs. In every other sport the playoffs are more important than the regular season so it makes perfect sense that you should get more points for doing well in the playoff events than in the other events. If guys don't play well in the playoffs and get eliminated even though they played well all year then how is that different from any other sport?

I'll admit I'm new to this FedEx Cup, this is the first year I've followed it so maybe I'm missing something, but I don't see any of the flaws you allude to.

Ugie thinks its flawed because Tiger wasn't automatically declared the winner after he won the Arnold Palmer invitational. :P

Rain showers early, but mostly sunny the rest of the day. High of only 63 though. Might be chilly but not too bad.

His putting has dipped considerably on what seems like an annual basis. Even his stats show it.

He used to be automatic on those. Now seems like he misses 1 or 2 of those a round just like everyone else.
