Format still kinda sucks, but anything to get rid of the starting strokes nonsense.

Is this so golf has some kind of playoffs?

What did they go off of before the fed ex cup?

All players within 3 shots of the leader should advance to Sunday.

What if you have 5 tied for the lead and 3 more one shot back? Will there be a sudden death to knock out someone so only 4 advance?

Although having a foursome play the final day together would be interesting.

I don't see how any of that makes it more appealing. If there are no starting strokes, why do we care how many make it to the weekend? What if the #1 player has a tough first two days? How does that make it better that they won't be there at the end?

Maybe I am misunderstanding. I am still holding out hope for match play.

There is no fair way to do this. You can’t have a year end playoff system that’s exciting while also being fair to the guy who had the best season

Yes you can. Currently, the Tour Championship has a $100M purse. Take $75M of the $100M purse and pay out the guys based on season standings before the Tour Championship.

Then have a normal golf tournament Tour Championship with a $25M purse, which would still have the largest winner’s share of any tournament.
