The reason that upsets in the FedEx Cup aren't likely to happen doesn't have anything to do with a flawed points structure, it's just the simple fact that players who loiter around #100 in the rankings very seldom win tournaments where most of the top 10 players enter. Tiger had two wins and a second in the "playoffs" last year - is it the points system's fault that a lower-ranked player didn't pull off an upset???
You assume I cared enough to watch!
I would love to see someone like Sutherland get hot, and play another solid two weeks, get in East Lake and have a clean shot at the $10 million. I think it'd be fun and more exciting than what they have now.
And you don't fool me, of course you were curious enough about Ridgewood to watch it!
