Just curious if statistically Tiger can still win the Fed Ex Cup? I assume winning the last 2 events would allow him to be the Fex Ex Cup champion? Can a top 5 and a Win do the same?

Just wondering.

if he wins this week he'll more than likely be in the top 5 in the standings (probably 2nd/3rd) meaning it will be in his own hands in a couple of weeks, so yes, its possible

With the points reset before the Tour Championship, all the 30 players in the last event got a mathematical chance to win the cup.

Getting as high as possible in the BMW will give anyone a better shot at winning the cup.

As bad as Anthony Kim is playing missing all the cuts, how come he is at 34th which is much better than Tiger? I still don't understand this FEDEX cup point system.

Uh, didn't you realize that when Orion's Belt is at its brightest, and the sun shoots out a solar flare at 15,344 miles in diameter, and there is am embedding solar eclipse...you gain 21 positions in the FedEx System?

god...everybody knows that!

Because the FedEx Cup is a year long system. For every tournament you play in (and finish at some position), you get FedEx Cup points. AK has gathered more than Tiger because he's got more top finishes.

AK: 1 win, 1 2nd, 1 3rd, 4 top 10. TW: 0 wins, 0 2nds, 0 3rds, 2 top 10.

Yeah, it's tough to figure out. We're not sure where we are or how we got here, and we sure don't know where we'll end up.

It doesn't strike me as the kind of event that FedEx would want to sponsor.

      -9 Day One at Arnold Palmer

      Are these course getting easier? are the players getting better? should we not worry about tournaments that used to produce single digit winners are now producing course records year after year.  I am not talking roll back I am just curious why scores are so much lower than five to ten years ago.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      I've posted plenty of positive things about Tiger over the years. I just like to play fair.  But if you want to see me praise TW some more here you go: 12 wins by 7 shots or more - Jack had 4 3 separate win streaks of 5 or more in a row - Jack won 3 in a row once It took Jack 172 more events and 9 extra years to reach Tiger's 71 wins by 2009 TW is the only player since 1900 to win a major by double digits and he did it twice 30% peak win rate is even higher than the previous record holder Ben Hogan (25%) 11 time PGA Tour Player of the year - Jack had 5 12 times lead the Tour in wins - Jack 6 10 times money list leader - Jack 8 Jack officially has 73 wins, but 2 of them are team wins with Arnie. You could argue he should be listed with 71 and I wouldn't disagree.

      Jack vs. Tiger: Who's the Greatest Golfer?

      By Golfnutgalen · Posted

      I mean that's clearly an opinion.  The funny thing is I never even attacked Tiger, I just pointed out that the other poster had a point when he mentioned that Jack had a longer career. Tiger basically had 5 years when he could have been winning more tournaments if not for his injuries. 2010-2011 and then again 2015-2017. Hard to make the argument after his final win because not many players win a ton after age 43.  If those numbers support the fact that Jack had a longer career so be it. Don't take that as an affront to Tiger.

      Even injured Tiger had a more impressive career than Jack against much stiffer competition. This was confirmed by Jack quite a few times. You want to ignore that, but it’s fact.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 5amZ · Posted

      Day 201 3-5 Wider backswing and higher. Practiced consisted of mostly backswing today. Wrist arching through downswing still a focus on full shots with a pause.  Will probably have a 2nd practice tonight blending wider backswing into more of full swing without pause at the top.
