The article I posted was correct and my comment is still correct. You're attempting to erroneously project the future upon a prior post about a latter tournament. No one can predict the future very well, but I can make one. You're tenure on WRX will come to a premature end if keep trolling.

And I was right- great move shifting the Fedex playoffs away from the NFL:

 

"Final round coverage of The Tour Championship, the final event in the PGA Tour FedEx Cup, averaged a 2.9 overnight rating on NBC — down 34% from last year, when Tiger Woods won (4.4), but up 93% from 2017 (1.5). The 2.9 trails only last year as the highest for the tournament in a decade (2009: 3.3).

 

Prior to this year, the tournament took place in September opposite regular season NFL games. This year’s telecast faced zero NFL competition."

> And to me that's the beauty of real playoffs where regular season results don't mean anything(other than perhaps a first round bye). Get in and win, no points carryover, getting strokes, etc. Round 1-top 125 points earners get in. Round 2-top 75 finishers in round 1 tournament. Round 3 TC-top 30 finishers from round 2 tournament. Winner of TC wins it all.

 

I have had this same thought and can't figure-out why the PGA Tour did not think of this. Give the top 10-20-30 a first round bye (making the season standings/points actually mean something) and then (removing points for the playoffs) just have cuts at the conclusion of each of the playoff events. This thing of starting players with a 10-stroke lead is ridiculous, especially when there is $15M on the line. The players starting 10 strokes back don't stand a chance so we're really just watching a tournament between a few players (umm, millionaires) vying for a $15M 1st place prize. I wish they would give a little less to the players and either cut their costs for fans or donate a good portion.

Pointless lining of already well endowed pockets IMO.

Golf is fine with four meaningful tournaments a year, not our problem if he can’t win them anymore and he has to make Monty like comments...

Do you think that every tournament played except for four are meaningless?

If Rory started the Tour Championship at even par (instead of -5) he would have tied Justin Thomas for the lead. Rory over the four rounds beat JT by 10 shots. It absolutely can happen. What if DJ were leading going into the Tour Championship? Rory beat him by 26 shots over the four rounds. Small fields can provide some crazy scoring swings over a 4 round no cut event.

Every tournament involves money grabbing. Read how the players pushed the USGA for bigger payouts for the US Open. Do you think they only care about the prestige?

Of course not, they don't only care about the prestige.

LOL! Some people think that all the players care about is the Trophy, legacy and prestige. Nothing could be further from the truth, they gave the commissioner a mandate to grow the game as well as growing the purses.....

The PGA Tour is doing a great job, when 2018 the #50th on the money list raked in approx. $2.5M.

Tiger is the one to thank for the purses. What exactly is the PGA Tour doing to grow the game? If they are growing the game then I'm not hearing about it.

For most events during the year, I really wonder how many fans are even thinking about the impact the event is going to have on the Fedex Cup standings. I know I for one don't really even think about it until it gets close to the end of the season and then I really couldn't care less truthfully.

“If, again, the FedEx Cup wants to create a legacy that lasts longer, it doesn't need to be about the money. It should be about the prestige of winning an event that you’ll be remembered for.” - Rory McIlroy

 

So if McIlroy is being honest with us, then I would agree and I don't think it needs to be all about the money. They could easily drop the total purse amount or spread it out across more of the field and still keep the sense of accomplishment that goes with season long accomplishment. I for one, actually might care more if I thought it really wasn't just "all about the money."
