Fedex Final Thoughts

Hello. Congrats to Tiger Woods for winning the Tour Championship and the Fedex Cup. If I started listing all the milestones and records Woods set with this win, my fingers would be bleeding. The best word to summarize is WOW!
The Fedex Cup is easier to summarize. It was good for the end of "real" season. There was some drama. But the bottom line is, 4 weeks is too long. Very few guys play that many tournaments in a row, especially the top players.Tiger said it best in his post-round interview - too many players made the playoffs. In other words, start with 120, then go to 70, then 30 if you have to.
What would I do? Get rid of the Barclays if you have to as a playoff tournament. Keep it as counting the same number of Fedex points as the playoffs count. That way, guys who are on the fence can decide whether they will play it or not.Will the field be good? I think so. Someone like Phil Mickelson may play it to try to get closer to Tiger. And many more guys around the 30 mark would play in it.I'll be interested to see what it looks like next year. Here's hoping the sponsors want to stay.

Regards,
Steve
