Tim McDonald: Fed Ex has a "sitting" champion in Tiger Woods?

I blogged the other day about how the Fed Ex Cup needs to be tweaked, and how the penultimate tournament, the Tour Championship, should be winner-take-all.

Now, it comes to light, after the math geniuses analyzed the complicated numbers that no one other than Stephen Hawking understands, that Tiger Woods could have spent that week on his yacht with wife Elin and STILL won the Cup.

I have no problem with the Fed Ex being a season-long points race, if that's what they want it to be. But, to call these "playoffs" is ludicrous and misleading. It's generating fake excitement.

Why not have the three "playoff" tournaments, with maybe a week off in between at least two tournaments, so Tiger can get his much-needed play time, then have everyone start on an even playing field for the final tournament?

That would be exciting. It would be a golf Super Bowl, not this watered-down, complicated, anti-climactic debacle.
