Well, Tiger has played in two FedEx Cups, and won both as of today.

His winnings in these two events alone ($20 million) is incredible.

Amazing that he can play consistantly enough to win the cup without winning a major and playing in as few tournaments as he does.

Great showing by Phil too. I'm glad to see him finish the year on a high note with all he's been through.

I’m happy for Phil as well. Nice way to end a tough personal year.

As much as I’m in awe of what Tiger does, I have always enjoyed watching Phil more. I like his rollercoaster style and his personality on the course. I still enjoy watching Tiger and I know his intensity and competitiveness makes him great, but his bad body language, throwing clubs, etc. gets boring to me.

Good work Lefty.

As for the FedEx Cup. Hate it. Seems as though the points system is too loose or tight. Whatever it is, it appears that some events are awards more points than others.

I would love to see points awarded as 140 for a win, 139 for a 2nd. That is based upon a normal field of 140 players. Only points awarded would be for those that made the cut. Think this would tighten up the standings a lot more, and could offer more potential of ties, playoffs etc.

Now the gap between 1st and 2nd is so large that you win the cup, even though you skip events, or finish 2nd or 3rd.

As for a 30 person final. WTF boring! Wouldlove to see more in the field.
