Maybe part of the problem is the fact that the Fed Ex Cup only reinforces the isolationist attitude of the PGA. Three internationally sanctioned events spread throughout the season; perhaps Dubai, China and one European; with a grand final in the USA, might create more drama and do something poistive for World golf.

jonners, surrey,

they all have paid managers, they all have lawyers making money off them and they did not know about the details? Fire them all I would.

How can you call something a playoff when some of the players don't play all the events.

Let's see now. $10,000,000 devided by whatever number of shots is a lot more money than 99.99 % of the people in the world earn. Shut the hell up and hit the ball !

It not a playoff. Should be set up that you must play in each of the final 4 events or be eliminated. Reduce the field for each event. And what about the caddies? How will they collect their share? The only interesting thing about the final 4 events is watching good golf.

Three things, 1) the TV coverage in USA is pathetic. Do they not understand that there are more than two or three players in the field each week who seem to get full time coverage at the expense of the rest of the field. 2) The USPGA needs to speed up play. For a threesome to take more than 5 hours a round is ridiculous and lastly would there be any chance the field could be dosed up with happy pills. If I were playing and earning what they do I would have a smile on my face 24 hrs a day and be dancing down the fairways.

Ernie Els is full of it. It's been documented how frequently the Tour disseminated information on the FedEx Cup to the players, and consulted the top ones. They wanted an earllier end to the PGA Tour season, and they got it. Now, when they realize they have to play a lot of golf, they don't like it -- despite the fact that when combining the purses and the FedEx money, they're playing for $63 million (US) in four weeks.
What a tough life they have. Play a lot of golf. Make a lot of money. Must be like working in a Malaysian sweatshop.

Who cares? Tiger, Phil, or anybody else who chooses not to play in the "FarceEx" Cup. Somebody is going to win $10,000,000. You can bet, "that somebody" will be playing their butt off for it. I'll be watching, wishing it was me.

I'm conflicted. On one hand I like seeing the players stick it to "The Man". On the other I realize they're all multi-gazillionaire whiners with private jets who freakin' PLAY GOLF for a living!!

Right. So a group of multi-millionaires are complaining that in order to have a chance of winning a $10m bonus, they have to play golf on too many consecutive weekends. I can really see their point.

A Martin, London,

I think giving a prize of 10 Million dollars to tour pros is like awarding a cake to the winner of the hot dog eating contest. Money is the last thing they are inspired by.

aaatob, Newport, RI

I can't feel sorry for the tour or the players. They both make obscene amounts of money - so who cares? I love golf and hope the PGA doesn't go the way of pro basketball and baseball. But if it does, so what. I have lots of other things to do in my life, including playing the game rather than watching it.
