A brief bit of my 2 cents worth ....

The Fed Ex Cup Points System -- while very flawed as it is currently administered -- nonetheless operates very much like official tournament prize money did when that was the exemption standard.

With money then and points now, it is a matter of consistently compiling wins, Top 5's, Top 10's and Top 25's each season. The more times a player does this, the more  likely he will be at or near the top of the standings by season's end. Otherwise, he is on the outside of any or all of these -- the Top 30 (Tour Championship), the Top 125 (playoffs and full exemption next season) or the Top 200 (Web.Com Finals). Back in the Money Days, the penalty for missing the cut (or else a withdrawal or disqualification) was no money earned. The same is true now for points. There is no  need to even consider creating what would be a very confusing and convoluted penalty system. 

My two pennies are spent -- your turn now!

Thank you.  That's great reporting!  I do believe in playoffs, which I assumed was understood.  My money list method would be used only to identify those players who would be eligible.  And it would be extremely easy to understand, as opposed to the present point system.  And I believe that you have proved here that the result would be just about the same.  

They're almost identical. More $ = more points.

The FedExCup system is pretty darn easy to understand. Particularly during the regular season.

I sincerely hope the OP didn't attain a career in the criminal justice system. He sounds like the kind of guy who would sentence you to life in front of a firing squad for jaywalking! 

Jesus dude! You miss the cut, you get zero points! And that's not good enough for you?! You want to kick guys in the balls even more? 

If I ever met you, I don't think I'd like you!

      Agree. The next omission needs to be that ridiculous team concept. Nobody cares about a team when they really don’t represent anything except being a group of diminished morality and/or washed up pro golfers. Or wait, we’ve also got total nobodies who’ve accomplished nothing who now get a participation trophy! Doesn’t that sound invigorating!

      LIV moving to 72 holes is a subtle admission that 54 holes was nothing but a joke all along.

      Is This Club Blatantly Sandbagging?

      By imsys0042 ·

      I was going to start a thread, but this seems like the place.  Yesterday I played my matchplay match at my local club.  My opponent is a notorious sandbagger by reputation.  The pro once pulled his tournament rounds from the past several years and said that it is impossible his tournament rounds are legit based on his handicap. here is what happened last night.  I am getting 4 shots from him.  His current handicap index is 15.3 i shot 45 on the front.   Was down 4 after nine, he had three birdies and shot even par. I was closed out on thirteen, we halved with a bogey.  That bogey put him one over par for his round.   He then took a triple on 14 and then left. As if that wasn’t bad enough, he lied about his score.   I wrote down on my scorecard what the score was.  He put higher values that didn’t affect the outcome of the match to pad his score and apparently make it not look as obvious.   He shot 36 on the front, but claimed 40.  The higher values for his score were in the online scoring app our club uses.  He did it this way: I won #7. He had a 2 foot putt for par that if he made would still lose the hole.   He picked up and said it didn’t matter since I won.  He took a 5 instead of a 4 after picking up a gimme. on #8 his approach shot on this par 4 was 8 inches.  I verbally conceded the putt but I had hit into a hazard.  I finished the hole with a 6.  Instead of birdie he put in for par. on #9, another par 4, his approach was to 18 inches.  I missed my par putt and then knowing how close I verbally conceded the putt.  I missed my bogey putt, he never conceded mine.  Instead of birdie he put down a bogey. He padded his score by 4 shots on the front.  And then did again on 10.  I rinsed one and made 6 on a par 4.  I putted out and he was fishing balls out of the lake so I drove off to the next tee.  He had 15 feet laying two but claimed a 5.     love to know the odds of a 15 handicap being even thru 12 holes on a round of golf.

      They've been chuckling since they hooked the shark. I think Greg doesn't realize the jokes on him.
