Apparently, both the number one and number two players, Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy could both skip 2 of the 3 playoff events and just show up for the third event and one of them could take home the cup and the $10 million prize. In my opinion, this is a major screw-up in the FedEx Cup rules.

The tour is only interested in more and more money from crowd attendance and spending. There is no reason for McIlroy to be playing, he earned the pass.
