The leader started at -10, NOT 20
2nd place started at -8, 3rd at -7
it was only places 26-30 that gave the leader a 10-shot advantage, he only had a 2-shot lead over #2. It wasn't perfect, but since it is billed as "The SEASON LONG race for the FedEx Cup" why shouldn't the players that outperformed the others have some advantage in the final?
Scottie won 4 tournaments including 2 majors. Rory won the Players and The Masters. Under this new system the person who finished in 30th by having a 3rd, a 5th and 2 other top 10 finishes gets to play even up? Fine, but then it's not a "season long" race for the FedEx Cup, at most it's a season long race to the top 30 and a single tournament for the Cup
