Tim Finchem is a lost little puppy. He has no business being the head of anything. What the PGA desparately needs more than anything is a leader who says "enough" already with the circus atmosphere that people want to infuse into the game.

If we had anything like an administrator with a pair then he would have said "noway" to the Michele Wie show and myriad of other nonsense schemes that are being dreamt up.

Until Finchem is replaced you are going to see the type of stupidity like the FED-EX cup continue. I'm waiting until the day comes when he agrees to put lights all over the golf course so that they can tee off at 6 PM and play well into the dark.

[...] Despite relative health, there are some big issues in golf this year. Some are reoccurring, others are recent developments, but all may have an impact on the game in coming years. I've distilled the biggest issues to five. See what you think… Number Five: FedExCup Like little chipmunks storing nuts for the long winter, PGA Tour players have been busily collecting FedExCup points. The Golf Channel has faithfully reported to us how the whole things is progressing and, to our utter surprise, most people don't care. Didn't we predict this? [...]

This has been hyped so much this year, it seems I can't go an hour of golf TV coverage without hearing the words FedEx Cup at least 3 times. As you pointed out the points during the season won't mean much. So basically all I see it as is the Tour Championship played over 4 weeks instead of one with a bigger field and a cut after week 3. Am I missing something here? I wouldn't really care what they did to the Tour Championship but I hate to see a few of the better tournaments we have now go, like The Western, because they have to make room for this thing.
