Golf Blog: Fedex Cup Fan
The FedEx Cup playoffs have started this week, and it is safe to say that they still a topic which divides opinion.
And, having read my fellow GM Blogger Lewis Pacelli's post this week about the downsides of these events, I have to say I respectfully disagree.
They bring together the world's best players at a time that would otherwise see a massive lull in high quality golf.
As for the money, I do agree that it is a bit over the top and is definitely the driving force behind the world's best taking part.
Even if they are there just for the money, it gets them on the tee. The public get to see the players they want to see perform, at a time of year when they probably wouldn't otherwise.
Yes, they don't need the money, but it does add something to the events in that it replaces the prestige and tradition that makes winning the Majors so special.
I for one and looking forward to watching the game's best compete, even if it is only for money.
