There are four events remaining before the season-ending Tour Championship, and that means a lot of golfers will be scrambling to finish inside the top 30 on the PGA Tour money list. I've picked out four guys who are currently outside the top 30 but are capable of getting into the top 30 when things are said and done. You will have to read tomorrow's Thrash Talk to see my picks. I'll leave a question or two here though.

1. Which golfer currently outside the top 30 would you like to see make a serious move to get into The Tour Championship?

2. Should The Tour Championship be a main goal for the world's best, or should they just shove it to the side like Phil does every year?


As for question #1, I'd obviously love to see CHIII make a run to The Tour Championship like he did late last season. However, he isn't one of my four guys I picked to get the job done. :/
Awards, Achievements, and Accolades

1. Chris DiMarco (45) He's had a tough year with injury & family loss - still he fights on. Great example.

2. Charles Howell III (53) I keep waiting for him to reach his potential . . .

3. Corey Pavin (57) Boy I like seeing Pavin competing again! Enjoyed his win earlier this year! One for the short hitters!!

4. Ryan Moore (85) this far down needs to win to get there. As an ex UNLV player with a ton of potential - I'd like to see him have a coming out party on this stage. Probably have to wait till next year though for any parties.


#2. Seems like a prestigious honor to me & a chance for even more money. I guess Phil is now outside the need for money and his focus is saved for majors.

Definitely Ryan Moore. That guy has game. I read that he doesn't even use a yardage book. All feel. That's impressive.

    • Hopefully this one is better  
    • Patrick Cantlay's strokes gained from 2024: I wonder if he takes more time on approach shots given that was the worst part of his game last season. And then here are his 2023 stats: Much better ball striking season. I wonder if there are any differences in his times between these two seasons. I tend to think he's just slow in general, but it'd be interesting to see his time differences.
    • Not sure, I think players have their own pace. Speith was always slow, regardless if he was in contention or not. Well, more so when he was in contention. It might be a push there on that question. 
    • Without knowing the study at all, this could be more of a reflection of who is tournament ready and who isn't. If you have a quick trigger, it could mean your swing is working really well. Fidgeting, lots of rehearsals, maybe means your swing's not functioning as well as you'd like it to and you need more time to feel it all out before you hit your shot.  
    • A study done by the European Tour shows spending less time over the ball produces better shots.  This makes sense. I can see where if you are over the ball a long time you lose the ability to make a more athletic swing. There is also the possibility of just overthinking the shot while over the wall as well and not being in the right headspace.
