With Half the Field Set, Looking Ahead to the Tour Championship
On Golf Channel, Kelly Tilghman just confirmed what one could probably predict mathematically if they were so inclined: any player entering Cog Hill in the top 15 in the FedEx Cup standings is already qualified for the Tour Championship. So, since guys sixteen through 30 that get into Tour...
A Brief Thank You For The FedEx Cup
Yesterday, I dug into the FedEx Cup 3.0 format - basically trying to say it still fails to meet the Rorschach Test. In other words, if you blot the word playoff onto a piece of paper, the patient on the couch wouldn't identify FedEx Cup as the phrase that comes to mind. For as much as players,...
He Missed. Tiger Freakin' Missed It. The World Is Ending.
Office Space made popular the concept of The O Face. I'll leave it to you to know, imagine, or otherwise research what that is. But in 2009, Tiger Woods has suddenly and surprisingly reinvented the face Drew was going to show to the new girl from accounting. Tiger has just not been clutch this...

Ridgewood CC Will Host 2010 The Barclays
The PGA Tour sent out a press release this morning announcing the next two sites for The Barclays Traveling Circus of Golf as part of the PGA Tour Playoffs for the FedEx Cup. The 2010 host will be Ridgewood Country Club and the 2011 edition will be at Plainfield Country Club - both in New...
The Barclays Cannot Seem to Find a Home
Westchester Country Club used to be the home of the Barclays for the better part of four decades. Then, after a falling out between the Club, its membership, and the PGA Tour, Westchester was out as host of the event for all but one year between now and 2012. The 2008 rendition of the tournament...
