Post your suggestions to improve the Fedex Playoffs

Here are my two to start.

1. Firestone (poster) noted that only two players climbed into the 120 in the 1st tourney, and only 2 climbed into the top 70 in the 2nd tourney. That is way two restrictive. This should be loosened up a bit (so that maybe 5 can typically advance in each tourney). I mean no matter where Rich Beem originally ranked, he shouldn't need to take 2nd place to advance to the top 70. That's silly. However, they still need to make the regular season meaningful.

2. Because the regular season carries so much weight in the playoffs, you don't want players like Tiger and Phil skipping events. While you can't really dock them points IMO, why not give all players who show up 2000 points per event (or some carefully calculated number of points). It basically changes nothing except for dropping guys in the rankings who skip events. So, if you don't show up, maybe you lost 15 or 20 places before the tourney even starts???

3. Stop calling it a playoff.
