I’m not sure there’s a really good, satisfying way to end the season long Cup chase and a tournament called the Tour Championship at the same time.

My jury is still out on the current system...work all season long to just get small advantage on the last weekend? Meh.

But I do like it better than last year. Somebody gets a trophy for winning the Tour Championship and somebody else gets a trophy for winning the FedEx Cup? Nahhh. Just like the PGA, I didn’t like it a bit.
