Tour Championship this week
OK, so we've run into this before and I want us all on the same page.
The Tour Champtionship for the PGA starts tomorrow...2 things to pay attention to that aren't like other tournaments (besides the fact it's such a limited field). 1) They start out with descending scores based on current standings. Patrick Cantlay is leading, so he'll start the tournament at -10...but that doesn't impact his stats HERE, we still go by a golfer's daily stats. i.e. Dustin Johnson finished at -21 last year, but his actual score was -11 2) Money. The overall purse last year was a whopping $46million, which of course is dramatically larger than a normal tournament and would result in some ridiculous divis here- Dustin Johnson won $15,000,000 last year, double what many entire purses are. For OUR purposes, it's illogical to give these guys those earnings for this coming Sunday because they've actually earned much of it with their play for the season, not just this tournament. What we've done the last couple years since they started this is use something similar to the purse and percentages they'd used prior. To simplify things, I'm proposing we just use a standard $10,000,000 total purse that breaks down like this: 1 20.484% $2,048,400 2 12.404% $1,240,420 3 7.852% $785,220 4 5.576% $557,620 5 4.666% $466,580 6 4.125% $412,525 7 3.841% $384,075 8 3.556% $355,625 9 3.329% $332,865 10 3.101% $310,105 11 2.873% $287,345 12 2.646% $264,585 13 2.418% $241,825 14 2.191% $219,065 15 2.077% $207,685 16 1.963% $196,305 17 1.849% $184,925 18 1.735% $173,545 19 1.622% $162,165 20 1.508% $150,785 21 1.394% $139,405 22 1.280% $128,025 23 1.189% $118,921 24 1.098% $109,817 25 1.007% $100,713 26 0.916% $91,609 27 0.882% $88,195 28 0.848% $84,781 29 0.814% $81,367 30 0.780% $77,953 This splits $10mil into a typical-ish breakdown more fitting for our purposes. Make sense? FYI last year we split an 8.5mil purse.

Makes perfect sense, and seems very reasonable.
Thanks for giving us a heads-up warning so we know how to play PGA this week. You're the best!

BTW......I do NOT like this system by the PGA. It is conceivable that the guy that shoots the lowest 72 hole score could NOT win the season championship.

This whole thing is set up as more than just a 'who has the best 4 days' thing. Golfers who didn't earn their way to a top seed should have a tougher hill to climb in that case then. It really wouldn't be fair for the #30 player to outplay everybody in one tournament after NOT outplaying the 29 above him all year....and still be called the champion. They seed team sports in the playoffs, giving a team an advantage in each round.....same kinda thing.

Respectfully disagree. You really can't, IMO, compare team sports to an individual sport like golf. I get the analogy but ........
Team sport......win lose or draw, you still get paid. Golf...not even close. You play crappy you make less than anyone above you. Play real crappy and you simply get paid nothing. The 3 or 4 guys that were multiple winners this year got paid more than anyone else in those tournaments....and they deserved that . They were the hottest players those weeks. I'm not convinced that they should get an advantage in the championship as well. I think NASCAR might be a viable comparison to golf.
