FedEx Cup playoff format draws criticism from prom
Golf has tried a lot of postseason iterations, and it's apparently starting to take its toll.The FedEx Cup playoffs, in their current form, are a series of three tournaments that determine the season champion. They have their own rules and quirks baked in, such as the leader from the first two events starting at 10 under Jose Osuna Jersey par in the finale.The tournaments consist of the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the BMW Championship, and the Tour Championship.But, as the battle for golf's soul rages on between the PGA Tour and LIV Golf, the format is drawing some scrutiny from current players, including the defending champion Patrick Roberto Clemente Jersey Cantlay."It seems to get tweaked every year, and Im not nece sarily sure why," Cantlay said after talking about the difficulty of setting a postseason in golf, "We went to the everyone starts at a different score to par a couple years ago. That still feels strange to me. It is a little clearer to watch on TV because you only have the one tournament going on, but you lose -- the fact that its the Tour Championship is kind of gone, which I think is a shame really."MORE:Cantlay also isn't keen on the cumulative nature of the FedEx Cup standings, since it can encourage schedule-packing.I think definitely with all the changes come January, youll see guys play a lot more in a condensed period of time, especially because - Chad Kuhl Jersey - another one of my gripes with the FedEx Cup is its an accumulation game. So literally the more events you play the better opportunity youll have for being in the top because theres no penalty for mi sing any cuts."Jon Rahm was more pointed in his gripes about the uneven par system.I have Jason Martin Jersey made my position clear on that in the past. I dont think its the best system," he said after he was called "gracious" for accepting the system. "You dont get to the Super Bowl and the team with the better record starts with a two-touchdown advantage. I think its absolutely ludicrous, but its the best choice we have right now. Or (Novak) Djokovic didnt have a one-set advantage over (Nick) Kyrgios at Wimbledon. I understand thats how the playoffs are made and I understand its easier for the viewers and us to know Richard Rodriguez Jersey whats going on."MORE:These criticisms ring particularly loudly with players defecting for LIV Golf, and some of the complaints are directly addre sed by the Saudi-backed breakout league. With every tournament existing in a vacuum, it does start players on an even footing.Heading into Wednesday, Will Zalatoris leads the FedEx Cup standings with 3,680 points with Scottie Scheffler and . Cantlay is currently in seventh and Rahm is 14th.
