Tour Championship

Though the FedEx Cup playoffs have been criticized a whole lot since its’ inception, the final event of the playoffs, The Tour Championship, pretty much always gives us some interesting storylines and finishes. That was the case today, as it came down to one putt for Jim Furyk, and the veteran dropped in the par putt on 18 to hold off Luke Donald, and win the tournament. But that wasn’t all. Furyk’s win also put him at the top of the FedEx Cup standings, and he is your 2010 FedEx Cup winner.

Well ladies and gentlemen, the final event of the 2010 FedEx Cup playoffs is upon us, as The Tour Championship is about ready to get underway at East Lake in Atlanta. We’ve had some great tournaments in this year’s race for the FedEx Cup, and this one usually never disappoints, as defending champion Phil Mickelson will be looking to repeat here, and try to be a factor in winning the cup. However, Matt Kuchar and Charley Hoffman are your top two right now, and will certainly be trying to win their first ever FedEx Cup trophy. Let’s get right to [...]

Yep, that’s right ladies and gentlemen. It appears that Tiger Woods and Padraig Harrington have been put on the clock once again. Where? At the Tour Championship this past weekend. Remember when the two were playing together in the third round on Saturday? That’s apparently when the clocking happened. Ahhh, those pesky PGA officials. Always looking to stir something up.

Now that the FedEx Cup playoffs have come and gone, it’s time to look back and decide whether or not it was a success. I would have to say that despite some of the negativity coming in about the format and other things of that nature, this year’s FedEx Cup would have to be considered a success. Most of the tournaments were exciting, and the only real surprise of the whole thing was Heath Slocum winning The Barclays.

We all thought Kenny Perry would be the feel good story today if he could hold off Tiger Woods at the Tour Championship. Someone did hold off Tiger, but it wasn’t Perry. It was Phil Mickelson. Mickelson, after being over par for the tournament after round one, finished at 9-under for the championship, three shots ahead of Tiger. I said in my predictions this week that I just hoped Phil would be in contention on Sunday, and he did me one better. He won the whole thing.

Being a huge Kenny Perry fan, I was excited to see him shoot 64 today at East Lake, and put himself atop the leaderboard after round three of the Tour Championship.

After a good round yesterday, there was little doubt that Tiger Woods would make his way towards the top of the leaderboard today. Tiger is your leader after two rounds at the Tour Championship, and looks to have all the confidence in the world heading into the weekend.

The Tour Championship got off to a great start today in Atlanta, as the best players in the world kicked off the final tournament in the FedEx Cup playoffs. And fans were not disappointed, as some excellent golf took place in round number one.

The Tour Championship is finally here, golf fans! The action gets underway today at East Lake in Atlanta, with the FedEx Cup trophy on the line. It should be a great weekend of golf, even if you don’t like the whole playoff format. You can check out my predictions for the week as well, and make your predictions on who you think will win in Atlanta. Here’s the TV schedule for the week:

Well after a week off for the PGA, it’s time to kick things into high gear as the Tour Championship is upon us. Whether you like the whole playoff system or not, this will still be an exciting tournament, and will offer some suspense I’m sure.

Well ladies and gentlemen, the Tour Championship will be getting underway next week, which will mark the end of the FedEx Cup playoffs. Some of you may like that, others may not. But we will have a FedEx Cup champion after the tournament at East Lake next weekend, as for who that will be…..that remains to be seen.
