Is The Fall Series Working?

Hello. Is the Fall Series working? Yes and no.
Yes, because there are some great stories out there. Every week some guys are winning enough money to get safely into the top 125. And of course the winners are getting to go to Hawaii and have a two-year PGA exemption.
Also, some top players are playing, which may not have happened before. Phil Mickelson is coming out this week because it's in Arizona, where he spent his college days. Mike Weir played last week, and is planning to again. Both these guys have no-showed in the past because they can, really.
However, in a lot of other ways the Fall Series is not working. There are many Europeans who are now going back to that tour to compete because of the weaker tournaments here. The press coverage is obviously lesser now that the top of the money list is secure. And when the Fedex Cup was hyped up so much, with the main reason being to avoid conflict with the football season, indirectly the PGA Tour was saying everything following the Fedex Cup was anticlimatic.
Can something be done to boost the Fall Series? More Monday.

Regards,
Steve
