*Top 16 Players & Ties Make Playoffs
*Points Carry Over from Regular Season into the Playoffs
*Playoff Events- Point Totals Quadruple (Win-100pts, 2nd– 80pts…)
-The Northern Trust (Quarterfinals)- Top 12 + Ties Advance to Semi-Finals
-BMW Championship (Semifinals)- Top 6 + Ties Advance to Finals
-Tour Championship (Finals)- The FedExCup points leader after the first two playoff events will begin the TOUR Championship at 10-under par (plus handicap strokes). The No. 2 player will start at 8 under (plus handicap strokes). The No. 3 player starts at 6 under (plus handicap strokes), the No. 4 player starts at 4 under (plus handicap strokes), the No. 5 player starts at 2 under (plus handicap strokes), Player 6 starts at Even (plus handicap strokes).
Example: This is how everyone would start off #1 tee for the Tour Championship.
#1 Seed (Lahey-7 Handicap) (-10) + (-7) = -17
#2 Seed (Ricky- 15 Handicap) (-8) + (-15) = -23
#3 Seed (Julian- 13 Handicap) (-6) + (-13)= -19
#4 Seed (Bubbles- 4 Handicap) (-4) + (-4)= -8
#5 Seed (Randy- 11 Handicap) (-2) + (-11)= -13
#6 Seed (Ray- 9 Handicap) (0) + (-9)= -9
Notes
If a player can’t make it during one of more of the playoff weeks, there will not be a replacement.
The whole point of this is threefold…
-
More players are involved, engaged and make the playoffs. This gives those players who may only be able to play 5-10 regular season events a chance to qualify.
-
Builds in an advantage for players who have been more successful during the regular season.
-
This is how the PROS play!
Don’t worry I will do the math and it is not that hard to keep track of. A voting poll has been posted on the website. Let me know how you feel about this by voting. Let’s go with “majority rules”. (51%+ wins the vote.). The poll is to the right in GREEN. (If viewing this on your phone, you may have to scroll all the way to the bottom!).
