These trends are small in effect compared to the drop in tournaments played by golf's top players… which could mean a strange situation for the FedEx Cup.

There's one big flaw with these numbers. The courses that they are playing later in the year do favor the bombers more, thereby they will be hitting it harder. Some of the courses that they play will be harder when we're coming out of the wetter season, increasing roll and distance. So, they guys are hitting it shorter now off the maybe because some of these have played in some of the courses are tighter. I'd love to see this article again at the end of the year. The results will be different. Well, it's very hard to compare the tournamnets that they're playing now with the numbers at the end of last year. There's one big flaw with these numbers.

Wet fairways weren't a rare occurance...
