Whats your oppinion of the Fed Ex Cup?

*Clubswinger21*

To tell you the truth I could care less. I dont know much except the winner gets 10 mill. I would've cared if there was a tournament seperate for the top 10 on the list or something like that. But isnt it just winner has the most accumulative points after the playoffs end? I pay attention to money list and world golf ranking more than anything.

What is the FedEx Cup? Does it have any relation to NASCAR's Nextel Cup or whatever it's called?

Seriously, I know little about it, and care even less than that. If that's possible.

I agree that it's not really much of anything exciting. Ultimately it's still the top 125 on the money list that get their exemption for the next season.

I think its pretty awsome, its like a nice finish to the year instead of finishing off with a boring old tournament, it should be exciting.

Huh- there's a FedEx Cup?

I know about it, but don't care

My sentiments exactly. The way I look at it is that it is still basically the top 125 on the money list, I don't even think the players are really buying into it all that much.

The one thing as a fan that I like is that it should make for better golf after the PGA Championship is over, we shall see. Typically after that last major you can just see the guys all but packing it in for the season, some (Phil Mickelson) make no effort to hide it, they're done til Feb/March.

The whole point system instead of just using the money list seems kind of useless, but the whole playoff aspect (and 10M prize) should prove interesting.

The point system is useless. So Tiger's number one, by a long shot. Say he gets 2,3,5, and 6 in the final four tourneys. I believe, and I could be wrong, as long as those 4 tourneys each have a different winner, he would win the Cup. Is anyone gonna care? I highly doubt it..........people care about who actually wins the tournaments, not some fabricated points race.

Won't the whole "seeding" business make it somewhat more possible for someone else to win? Seeing as how he will only be leading the 2nd place person by 1,000 going into the playoffs?

From wikipedia:
After the Wyndham Championship, points for all eligible players are reset. With this scale, the first place regular season points leader will get 100,000 points, second place will receive 99,000, and then a sliding scale through 144th place receiving 84,700 points. The top 144 players will advance to the playoffs. The points on the reset scale will carry over into the playoffs. This is the equivalent of "seeding" as players who have performed better during the regular season will more likely advance past the first tournament in the playoffs.
