The Ryder Cup comes too quickly after the FedEx Cup Playoffs

The event was too close to the end of the regular season, and nearly everybody was exhausted, but the Euros seemed to bounce back better.  Now this is another way that the event would be better if the PGA of America and the PGA Tour could kiss and make up. Just don’t show us any Jay Monahan and Seth Waugh shots like the Molinari/Fleetwood bromance. We’re not ready for that. It would be WAY too much information. And let’s face it – people WOULD talk.

For certain, the Ryder Cup won’t be shoehorned into the FedEx Cup schedule in 2020 because in the new season, the FedEx Cup Playoffs will end in August. A couple of weeks into September would be perfect for the Ryder Cup. Golfers will have time to take a breath and rest a week before getting themselves fired up for the event.
