Presidents Cup Points Glitch News Prompts One And One Question Only: There Is A Presidents Cup This Year!?

An unbylined AP report says Robert Streb and Charley Hoffman "now have more work to do if they want to make the Presidents Cup team for the first time."

Goose bumps!

I know it comes as a shock, but there is a Presidents Cup this October in Korea where Jay Haas and Nick Price are captaining squads that, outside of a few fun first time participants, would rather be somewhere else.

A computer error caused the PGA Tour to readjust the U.S. standings Thursday. Streb had been in 11th place, 365 points behind the 10th spot to automatically qualify. Now he is No. 16 and 881 points behind. Hoffman went from No. 12 to No. 15.

The U.S. standings are based on FedEx Cup points for the 2015 team. Tour officials realized this week that double the points had been awarded starting with the Frys.com Open in October. Points were not supposed to count as double until the first event of 2015 at Kapalua.

Live by the reset, die by the reset.

Rex Hoggard reports on the situation for GolfChannel.com and says the Tour did not respond to requests for comment.

“I got a text [from a Tour official] and I thought I did something wrong. I was like, what did I say? Did I say the wrong thing to somebody?” said Billy Horschel, who moved up from 14th to 12th. “He told me I lost some points, which I knew I didn’t lose many because I didn’t play many events and I didn’t play well in the events I was, and he told me I moved up two spots.”
