Scottie Scheffler blasts PGA Tour for ‘silly’ FedEx Cup Playoffs.full details below 👇
Scottie Scheffler hasn’t performed all that well in the PGA Tour’s postseason, so you can understand why he isn’t exactly attached to the three-week FedEx Cup Playoffs as a year-ending competition. Rory McIlroy, for the most part, disagrees.“I talked about it the last few years, I think it’s silly,” Scheffler said Wednesday at his press conference ahead of the first playoff event, the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis.
“You can’t call it a season-long race and have it come down to one tournament.”The top 70 in the FedEx Cup points race qualified for the St. Jude. The top 50 finishers in Memphis earn a spot in the field at next week’s BMW Championship (and, crucially, eligibility in the eight Signature Events in 2025). The top 30 in Colorado advance to the Tour Championship at East Lake.At the TOUR Championship, the golfer leading in points starts at 10-under, two strokes ahead of second place, and so on from there. Scheffler has opened the past two Tour Championships out front, but failed to maintain his lead.
