The Tour Championship field
presented by Coca Cola.
I am sure the PGA tour would want me to mention their sponsor. They are playing just outside Atlanta Georgia. The winner takes home $1,260,000 yet again. And no the winner of the Fed Ex cup which there are only really about seven golfers that have a good chance unless someone gets hot and Tiger finishes 30th. I guess anything is possible but the winner is most likely coming from someone in the top seven in Fed Ex points coming into the last playoff tournament. The winner of the Fed Ex Cup will win an additional $10,000,000. But this additional money is not counted towards the money list so it is not counted as earning for our purposes. When a person thinks of playoffs they think the season is over. This is not the case on the PGA tour. There are tournament to get divis until early November or there abouts. Adam Scott was the winner last year. Allenby, Robert Austin, Woody Baddeley, Aaron Byrd, Jonathan Calcavecchia, Mark Choi, K.J. Cink, Stewart Clark, Tim Els, Ernie Furyk, Jim Garcia, Sergio Harrington, Padraig Howell III, Charles Johnson, Zach Mahan, Hunter Mickelson, Phil Ogilvy, Geoff Rollins, John Rose, Justin Sabbatini, Rory Scott, Adam Singh, Vijay Stricker, Steve Verplank, Scott Villegas, Camilo Weekley, Boo Wetterich, Brett Woods, Tiger

HELL YEAH it does!
Now....BIG problems at East Lake this week. They have been suffering from a drought and NOONE is allowed on the greens until tournament time. Practice rounds...they are allowed to hit tee shots and 2nd shots to unreachable par 5's. Those that paid BIG $$$$ to take part in the Pro-Am are S.O.L....they get a clinic and lunch with their pro.....BLEAH! Not for that kind of dough. The tournament officials are saying that they feel MOST of the greens can be brought back to satisfactory conditions but I can tell you...from the desriptions I was reading I can just about guarantee y'all that they will still have severe enough problems with enough of the greens to cause a problem. I can here the bichin' now...and rightfully so. It is a travesty that the big wind-up to this new Fed-Ex cup playoffs has to end under these conditions.

Thank you Rich for the information Rich. Those sound like tough conditions.
Maybe the pro am people should get free lunches at the clubhouse for the rest of the year. It is just my own personal observation from afar that the Fed Ex Cup has not exactly gone as planned so far at least from the PGA Tour perspective. I think I have only seen Tiger play one hole in the two playoffs tournaments he has played in so far. I usually see Tiger play at least a few holes at least two round of each tournament he plays. If it is a major I can watch around nine holes or even more if it is very dramatic. This whole Fed Ex Cup seems to "gimmicky" to me. One of the reasons I think this way is if golf is going to have playoffs people are going to watch doesn't Tiger have to play? I think in the first three tournaments so far at least one of the "big names" has not played. Thank you Rich for something else as well.

Peter..IMHO the Fed-Ex Cup, with a few tweaks, will be SUPER. The golf has been fantastic all three weeks. I doubt that all players concerned will end up being required to play in all 4 events.not unless they space them out somehow....JUST for the exact kind of reason that kept Phil out in Chicago....we shall see. I can guarantee we'll be hearing chnges by early next season.

I tend to take a more opportunistic view of it. Dont screw it up completely this first time through, but learn enough to make it, as Rich put it, a far superior event for the future.
I do understand why they wanted the "playoffs" in NYC, Boston, Chicago, and Atlanta though. Nothing like prime media markets to try to enhance it
