How to eliminate PGA Tour purgatory and improve the FedEx Cup playoffs

He has missed the cut at this tournament in five of the past eight seasons, including previous year (5-over-par 147). The handsome thing about the next couple of weeks is that any of the 125 golfers can come away with the FedEx Cup.

The skinny: This will be the ninth consecutive season Moore has advanced to the FedEx Cup playoffs.

Only the top 125 players on the FedExCup points list qualify for the first event, 100 for the Deutsche Bank Championship, 70 for the BMW Championship and 30 for the Tour Championship.

The playoffs have been the scene of upsets, so it is possible neither Spieth, nor Day will emerge triumphant in the Tour Championship in Atlanta, on September 27. Woods won the FedEx Cup that year.

Now fourth on the Challenge Tour moneylist, he is well placed to secure his European Tour card, as the top-15 at season’s end do. That man is Sergio Garcia, famous for his non-winning of majors.

Day, now on third place in the world golf rankings behind Northern Irish golfer Rory McIlroy, will start the four-tour progressive elimination playoff series in second place, the highest an Australian has ever began the playoffs.

Lee previous year entered the playoffs a tenuous 116th, of 125. Brooksie is one of the longest hitters on TOUR coming in ranked at seventh and he cracks the top ten in greens in regulation, two of the most important stats associated with winning golf tournaments.

But Day had hardly any time to himself today at the Plainfield course, finding himself congratulated at every turn by his fellow competitors, officials, caddies and spectators.

Koepka has been knocking on the door of a breakthrough and I think he gets it here in the postseason.

Lee past year finished 38th in The Barclays to survive the first cull. Once the final tournament arrives, Brooks will be ready for a win.

In Lee’s case, she needed a strong performance as well this past week at the Canadian Pacific Women’s Open in Vancouver, British Columbia.

America’s number one bachelor, Danny Lee, has been on fire as of late.

Second on the FedExCup points list is PGA Championship victor Jason Day of Australia, 27, with two-time Masters champion Bubba Watson third in the standings.

“It was just unbelievable”.

After an impressive three wins this season, Day has a huge chance to make history at the FedEx Cup and bag a huge prize of US$10 million (AU$13.8 million). “But it happened kind of at the start of the year and I just didn’t prepare for the season as well as I need to”.

August 6, 2015; Akron, OH, USA; Justin Rose reacts to missing a putt on the green of the tenth hole during the first round of the World Golf Championships – Bridgestone Invitational at Firestone Country Club – South Course. A win by any of the top five seeds will guarantee the FedEx Cup title outright.

Jon Curran has not had the best season on the PGA Tour.

The Englishman’s combined score for the major season was -34, which was the best of any golfer not to win in the last 30 years. His best finish since was a tie for 14th at the U.S. Open in June, where he was tied with eventual champion Spieth for the 36-hole lead. He’s had seven top 25 finishes in 24 starts but never cracked the top 10, finishing a best tie for 11th in March in the Texas Open.
