The end of the PGA tour golf season has pretty much come to a close with the exciting end of the FED EX Cup playoff style tournament. I really don’t know what to call this playoff style tournament as it still seems to be in beta testing stages in terms of a playoff system. I applaud the PGA for trying to build up their brand with a playoff style/world series of golf tournament. I honestly don’t know what to think of the FED EX Cup and I know I am not alone as there are numerous reports of the PGA players not understanding the points and scoring system that the playoff system follows.
The basic concept of the PGA playoff system did work pretty well this year as the best player in the four tournaments did win the final $10 million dollars. I know what your thinking because I was thinking it as well….. $10 million bucks for playing golf Like Tiger Woods needed that money, he earned it though. He was clearly the best over four tournaments that counted for the FED EX Cup.
Which leads me to another question, seeing how Tiger Woods won the biggest prize ever for a championship and he did manage to win 6 tournaments in his comeback year from knee surgery. Do all those accomplishments for golf season qualify as a successful season if he did not win one of the major tournaments. I see the golfing blogs talking about the idea that this was not a successful “Tiger Woods year” because of the fact that he did not win a major golf tournament this year.

I guess I can see both sides of the golf coin so to speak. Tiger Woods has made it clear over the years that it is all about winning those major tournaments and matching the seemingly unattainable record of Jack Nicklaus for major golf tournaments won at 18. So yes I suppose I would have to agree with the golf higher ups who think if you don’t win one of the major golf championships in a year than it’s a so-so year. Even if you win six other tournaments plus an extra $10 million dollars for coming out on top of the golfing playoff system.
I am certain that anybody that has ever played the game of golf would love to have an off year like the one that Tiger Woods had this year Seriously though people cut the man some slack he did also come back from major knee surgery this year. So what if he did not win any major golf championships this year. Tiger Woods was a big boost to the PGA this year and when you compare the game of golf last year with out Tiger and this year with him. There should be no question that win or loose the game of golf is better off having Tiger Woods on the course.
Major Victory Or Not Golf Is Better Off With Tiger
