Ranked 25th in the FedEx Cup standings, Day will start the handicapped, $75million Tour Championship at one-under, nine shots behind leader and world No.1 Scottie Scheffler.Join now and start streaming instantlyScheffler topped the season points race and thus earned a two-stroke lead over his nearest rival, Viktor Hovland, for the 30-player showdown, starting Friday morning .
“I mean, I get it. It’s made for TV. It may be more exciting for the fans to have this type of format. But as players it’s not the best identifier of who is playing the best throughout the year.”Last week’s playoff winner at Olympia Fields, Hovland, is the closest starter to Scheffler at 8-under. “I don’t think it’s the best we can come up with,” Rahm said. “I did like the old format where, if you came in number one, you really rarely ever fell out of the top three.The Spaniard sees it as the “easiest to understand” format but one that falls short.
“If anything, Scottie this year, he probably should have more of an advantage than a two-shot lead. But it makes it an exciting week if guys feel like they have a chance to win.” “Simply making match play at the Tour Championship would become an accomplishment for the resume,” Rapaport said. “People would say, ‘Oh, this guy has made match play three of the past four years’.“The FedEx Cup would then have a strong identity as not just the richest tournament but the match play tournament. Let’s make it happen.”As for how it currently works, the FedEx Cup standings after the BMW Championship sets the starting scores for the top-30 players who qualify.
