Ho Hum…Vijay Wins The FedexCup…Villegas, Phil, Kim and El Nino Fight For 2nd Place

This year’s Fedex Cup ended with a ho-hum victory for Vijay Singh…hat’s off to the old man for pulling this last big win out of his career before heading to the Champions Tour soon….with Tiger back on tour next year, I doubt that we’ll see much of Vijay in the winners circle. Everyone on tour this years has agreed…the Fedex Cup still needs more “tweeking”….having your winner in place before the final event even takes place tells us that this system needs more work….the idea of the Fedex Cup was to increase the competition and excitement level of the game….they’re on the right track, but need much more work….I like the idea of a multi-event playoff system where you have to consistently win to move forward..forget about the points system….let everyone, like an Open, try to qualify from any club or tour (4 Handicap or lower can apply), play and move forward in a series of tournaments….local qualifiers for the big PGA events…we could see some unknown great golfers peak at the right time and give the pro’s a run for their money. I envision a Jason Gore-type player, peaking at the right time and moving into the final tournament, giving Tiger, Phil, Sergio and Paddy a run for the big money….and in regards to money…since this is the most important event of the year, it should also be the biggest cash payout…how about $2million cash and the remaining $8 million in an Annuity….

Atlanta saw some excellent play this week….Sergio looked great all week….Villegas stumbled out of the blocks but had a fierce finish and win….Phil was Phil..in contention, but he didn’t seem to have the hunger in this one, having come from the big win at the Ryder Cup last week…..Anthony Kim was the highlight with Camillo…what a great duo shootout….this kid will keep us watching for a while now….at least they gave us an exciting finish for 2nd and 3rd……
