Reading through the Associated Press coverage of Phil Mickelson’s stirring victory over Tiger Woods and the field over this Labor Day weekend, one truly comes to a simple realization - the AP is not going in for any of this FedEx Cup stuff whatsoever.
In the AP coverage of the Deutsche Bank Championship, the words “FedEx Cup” came up exactly once - and that was in a quote from Mickelson. If not for that, you would never know that PGA Tour Commissioner Tim Finchem’s master playoff plan even existed.
Mickelson’s victory over Woods wasn’t stirring because of how it affected the FedEx Cup points standings mind you. The truly interesting part was that the Lefty of old had reappeared and left Tiger in his wake. This is of serious interest to any and all fans of the PGA Tour.
But still, whether you consider the FedEx Cup a contrived piece of nonsense, the most exciting innovation ever, or something in between, the fact is it does exist.
Just not to the Associated Press, it seems.
