‘Perform when it is more important’

If the golf fans thought that the starting format of the start of the tour championship was unnecessary and confusing, they were not alone.

Just ask the players.

PGA Tour announced changes to his tour championship and FedEx Cup’s Play Offs and finals, and starting this year they will Discard the “Initial Attacks” format And return to a 72 -holes in the stroke, which is the format used before 2019.

“I think when you are looking at a golf tournament, I think the best way to identify the best player during a tournament is the 72 holes in a really good golf course,” Scottie Scheffler Said Wednesday in the memorial. “I think when you see a good golf test and you have to compete over four days, I think this is the best way to crown the best winner for that week.”

Prior to 2019, the PGA Tour would ever crowned two different winners at the end of the tournament, the winner of the tour championship and the champion of FedEx Cup (though most of the same players won both). But the double-trophy presentation seemed anti-Albanian and confusing Rose won the FedEx 2018 Cup, though that year is remembered for Tiger Woods winning the tournament-which is what led to Strokes Start’s Tour format.

However, this brought about its problems. With the start of the field in different results, the format was still confusing for casual fans and seemed more a gang help than a solution.

Collin Morikawa would have won the Tour Championship and FedEx Cup Title without using initial blow last year. Instead he ended second. He is not upset about it, but he does something that the difference is good.

“I think when I started approximately even par or one under you are like, man, I just became in the ball,” Morikawa said Wednesday in Memorial. “Like, I went crazy. Hope I have four crazy days and we’ll see. But now, like any other sport, you have a chance to win your championship essentially. And that’s what you get here.”

Previously, the best were sold the idea that their success in the regular season, as well as the conclusions on the first two or three events of FedEx Cup’s Play off, properly helped them through the start of shocks in the tour championship. Now that angle is changing. The change seems to be more like a regular season and a more separated play -off from one another. Basically it is what you see in other team sports. Both scheffler and Max HomaAt special press conferences on Wednesday, the New York giants brought by beating a tireless New England Patriots team at the Super Bowl Xlii during the 2007-08 season.

“(Patriots) had a great year and they did not win the Super Bowl,” Scheffler said. “At the end of the day you have to perform when it matters

Homa said the previous format never made much sense to him and approves the difference.

“I really like everyone starting,” he said. “Still is still incredibly difficult to do it in the last 30th. It’s a sign of an amazing year. So if you are there you know you have to have a chance in the title, in my opinion. So I like what they have done.

“Again, there’s a million different things you can, but just starting at zero is easier to digest. It just felt like it got to the Tour Championship at the Vent Under – One Year I Played Great All Year and I Think I Back of Scottie – and It didn’t feel hyper compatitive, and it just feel like the year year you would have two or three people on the weeks had a chance, and that not excites. our most exciting. ”

In addition to changing the format, the tournament also announced that it will make adjustments in the course configuration to encourage more risk/reward moments to increase drama and gain results even more.

“I think it’s our most difficult tournament to qualify, just being 30 boys and 30 boys behind a one -year -old race, I think it’s a kind of adaptation to make it not win 30,” said Xander Schauffle. “I think it makes sense to make it difficult. So it is said, I mean, Pin’s locations, grow roughly, make the smallest roads. I mean, to just start making small roads and growing harsh, make the greens strong and fast. It will be quite difficult.”
