First round is underway. 30 players playing for a 45 million dollar purse with the winner getting 15 million. I'm not sure that I like this scoring format with Cantlay starting out at -10.

This is why the "Playoffs" is so stupid.

If you make the cut each week, you're in for the next week. Everyone should start at Zero. All year points are going toward getting into that first playoff tournament.

I don't like the format either but looks like beautiful weather in Atlanta this weekend and a pretty nice field of golfers.

Did y'all see his comment about this yesterday?

quote:

He made it pretty clear what he thinks of the Tour Championship.

“I think, frankly, it’s not a good format,” he said.

He stuck up for his buddy Xander Schauffele’s 72-hole low score at East Lake last year.

“I think the fact that Xander didn’t get a tournament win for beating the field by two or three shots is absolutely criminal,” he said.

Don't like the format either.

I know why they don't do it (TV, sponsors, etc), but I would love to see a 32 player match play final.

Every time they show DJ with his shaved face, I try to figure out who it is

They should get rid of the scoring format for the championship then adjust the purse to
$20m for season winner (season long performance)
$10m for tournament winner (hot today)
$15m for playoff winner (hot over the last three weeks)

I wonder if had Jon Rahm had won the Memorial, would he have been in first place going into the Tour Championship and therefore had a lead on Cantlay?
