The Annual Plea to Make the FedExCup About Par, Not Points
Before the FedExCup ever began in 2007, I was offering suggestions for how the system could be improved. After each of the new schemes have been introduced, I've offered other suggestions. When the season ends, I usually tack on a couple. I've made too many at this point. I have none more to offer,...
Defending Kevin Streelman and the FedExCup Top 30
Every year, someone does it. Someone sneaks into the top 30 on the FedExCup points list via one good week in the three Playoff events. Marc Leishman did it last year. This year, it's Kevin Streelman. The difference? Last year, Leishman was lauded for the one week that defined his season and saved...
Stewart Cink Has Officially Inspired Jackassery in Golf
Stewart Cink is a man. (He's not 40.) Earlier this year at his charity pro-am in Alabama, he let someone tee off a golf ball from a specially designed codpiece he was wearing. He let a trick shot artist - a trained golf stuntman, if there is such a thing - handle the execution. Flash forward to now...
Great Moments in Phil Mickelson Whining to Get His Way

FedExCup Win is Pyrrhic Victory for Tiger Woods
The final putt of Tiger Woods' last round in the Tour Championship yesterday was devoid of emotion. It was a nice up-and-down for par following a poor tee shot. It was the proper conclusion to the day for Woods, who shot an even par round of 70 and finished in second place to Phil...
