Fedex Cup

Here we enter into the 2nd year of the 'so called' playoffs in golf as the quest for the fedex cup has begun.

I think the PGA definitely has the right idea with this to get ratings out of golf after the last major and there are definitely still kinks to iron out. That being said, the unfortunate thing is I doubt the players really care about the fedex cup.

Tour players care about winning tournaments, plain and simple. What we're going to see in the next couple years during this playoff run is complaining from the golfers about just how unfair some things are with it for the guys on the cusp. You know, the guy who is ranked 150th in money and is angry because he didn't get a chance to advance beyond the first round yet still made $1.5 million for the year.

As I said, there's still a lot to iron out in the format and they might have a foundation for something successful. They're always gonna miss out on one key ingredient, players who actually give a shit. They're millionaires folks, just for playing a game.

Until there's more emphasis on the fedex cup it'll never be more than a post major side show. The PGA is trying to broaden the dynamics of the Tour and have everyone's support except the players. Of course the players will tell you how great it is and that they love the competetive atmosphere of playoff golf. But they don't. They don't because there's nothing in it for them. Except money but not enough by their standards.

The tour members care about winning tournaments and that's it. Granted, that's all they were supposed to care about but the playoffs will be more about excuses and 'woe is me' than it will be about golf. That is for the next couple years until they iron it out.

The tour is onto something with the playoff idea and maybe in 15 years it'll be something great. Until then, the tour members will keep telling you the stuff that's wrong with it.

Just remember this, they're millionaires who will never have to work a real job for the rest of their lives. Do not, and i repeat, DO NOT feel bad for them.
