Tour championship scoring

I had no idea that the scoring was going to be done were guys start out with a score based on the past season.
Scheduler not a big fan of it. Feels this is not the best way to determine who the number one is.
For example. Player A start at -10.
Player B at -4 and so on.
Kind of odd a couple strokes can be given based on an entire year of play.

It’s been this way for the last 2-3 years at least.
I like it, means the guy who “wins” the season wins the final tournament, even if they did have a handicap.
It was always strange when the winner of the tour championship and the winner of the FedEx cup were different people
ETA: also gives everyone at least a shot at winning. Previously the guy who was in 30th essentially had no shot at winning the FedEx cup and was basically just playing that tournament for shits and giggles (and $$$). Now it’s at least possible even if highly unlikely

Going to be brutal out there. I live about ~20 minutes from East Lake and I thought about going out there Thursday/Friday. Then I saw this...

I've got a heart condition that I have to take precautions in situations like this. But, thanks for your concern...

I agree the tour championship as it is now is a bit odd. I don’t like giving the guys head starts and handicapping this event. I’d love it if they changed this to a match play event. 1 plays 30/2 plays 29 and so on and so forth. Winner take all.

I understand your position, I’m a diabetic and haven’t played in almost a month. We have been In upper 90’s all of August.
Gotta take care of health before we do anything.

I don’t know why they can’t pay everyone out 80% of the fedex money based on the standings right now to reward season long success.. and then let them all start at Even par tomorrow for the remaining 20% of money and call the winner the fedex cup/Tour champion.

What I don't like is the massive gap between #1 and #4. Needs be tiered better IMO. Rahm winning 4 tournaments this year including a major with a runner-up finish in another being 4 strokes behind Scheffler with 2 wins due to the weighting of the past 2 tournaments just seems wrong. Even Hovland having a 2 stroke handicap on Rahm with half as many wins and fewer top 10s seems ridiculous. There being a 2 stroke gap between 1 and 2 doesn't seem right either. If they're going to handicap the tournament, I'd probably have #1 at -10, #2-5 at -9, 6-10 at -8, etc.
The system IMO just rewards play more over a few weeks too much comparative to the entire season.

Yeah this is what Scottie was explaining.

Now this is a great idea.

Until you end up with a final of Sepp Straka vs Adam Schenk on Sunday, or the match is over on the 11th hole

Possible but not likely. Still makes it for good tv when the winner is getting a brinks truck full of cash.

They already have a match play event on tour and Scottie was the winner in 2022 and runner up in 2021.

Ok! And your point is what? We’re discussing how to make this a bit better as handicapping the event is a bit odd. So changing this to a match play event would make this a bit better. Oh, and I’m sure dissolving the del match play tournament would happen. This event should be bigger than it is.

It's gay.

If they're hell bent on stroke play then take the top 30 and randomly draw for pairings. The only need for seeding is a match play format.

It seems like their scoring system has worked out exactly like they hoped this year. Guys like Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy didn’t play that great, but since they started so many strokes ahead they are still in the mix. That’s exactly what the tour wants, the big names at the top of the leaderboard. An added bonus for them that it was Morikawa making the move yesterday

Match Play would be stupid considering 98% of the tournaments are field play. So you change the championship tournament because you don't like the way it's played? Stupid.
Scheffeler isn't even the leader after Day 1
