HOT 🔥 FIRE REPORT:: Tour star lays into FedEx Cup format, explains why he ‘fundamentally disagrees’ with Rory McIlroy….. information below 🔽🔽🔽
It seems everyone has an opinion on the FedEx Cup-ending Tour Championship. Notably, the format.
If you don’t know, the top 30 in the season-long standings head to East Lake and begin the tournament on a pre-determined handicap score from 10-under for the leader down to even-par for those at the bottom end. It derives from the American obsession that all sporting calendars must end with a playoff system that sees one player or team rewarded for an end-of-year burst of form.
And it has seen the PGA Tour come under some fire from fans, pundits and stars alike. Indeed, Scottie Scheffler, despite heading home from Atlanta $25 million richer than when he arrived a few days prior, described the process as “silly”.
It means that, with that FedEx Cup jackpot, the $10 million Comcast bonus, and prize money, Scheffler has banked just north of $62 million in the past eight months.
Good work if you can get it and all that.
