Re: Post your suggestions to improve the Fedex Playoffs
Make it a real playoff, first week only best 120 qualify for next week etc. You carry your score with you for the following weeks. But if you are not playing you are out.
The fed ex points system is then only used for qualifying, all is scrapped before first week. But the points system should be be more like 300 points for a win, dropping a few points each place down to a handfull of points for 70th place each week. Then the advantage of winning a few events is taken out, and the top players will have to consider how many tournaments they can afford to miss during the season. The real top players will not have to play every single week to qualify, but they need a good handfull of top positions to qualify.
Then you would have a pressure on the top players to play many tournaments during the year (which the tour would love) and you would have no absentees for the playoffs (which is a huge problem now, as Tiger and Phil has shown ever so clearly).
