JuniorGong 1,317 Posted August 20, 2018 Share Posted August 20, 2018 So the Captain’s picks for Furyk should be interesting but I consider Tiger and Phil to be locks so really only leaves Jim with two choices. Tiger has been openly lobbying for DeChambeau and he finished 9th in the standings so I would think he is one of the favorites for the last two picks. The one guy I don’t really hear anyone talking about is Kevin Kisner. I think he could be a smart choice giving that he is an elite putter which would add a lot of value over the first two days. If I had to guess I would say Furyk goes Kuchar but I suppose he waits to see if someone gets real hot over the next couple of weeks. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

That one guy 2,162 Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Anyone seen the new “playoff” structure announced by PGA? Upon initial review, it sounds absolutely horrendous and unappealing. Spotting players strokes, essentially giving pros a handicap based on points?

Upon initial review, it sounds absolutely horrendous and unappealing. Spotting players strokes, essentially giving pros a handicap based on points? Gross https://www.golfchannel.com/article/golf-central-blog/fedexcup-gets-massive-overhaul-next-season/ The overall FedEx Cup title kind of works this way anyhow - Patton Kizzire (#30) would have to be DeChambeau (#1) by several strokes this week to overtake him for the Cup, so DeChambeau is effectively getting some # of strokes vs the field in terms of the year-long title. He can win the Cup without winning the tournament, as long as the actual winner isn't one of the top few behind him (happened last year, as the article says). So I get the concept - wanting the guy who wins the Tour Championship tournament to win the FedEx Cup - but agree this feels like a clunky way to do it. But I don't know of a better way to do it while still treating it as a year-long "super event". The guy who was the best all year up to this point should have some advantage.

He was going to be in 25 events as he planned on the Tour Championship as one of those 25, but since he didn't qualify and there aren't any other tour events left, he is in violation. He also could've avoided this by playing in a different tourney that he didn't play the year before. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jefferson the Caregiver 928 Posted January 5, 2019 Share Posted January 5, 2019 So I'm late to this news but I see that Dechambeau plans to leave the pins in when putting this year, if the pin is fiberglass and not metal. Another reason to hate this guy. I'm sure he thinks he's outsmarted the tour,. Hoping it backfires literally. In the event that he is right and this is a great strategy, I don't know why he gave out the fiberglass info so early, unless he is just trying to brag, which I think he is. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
