Great discussion, guys. The closest comparison to the Fed Ex Cup as it is now is the Tour de France. The general classification winner can have a big time lead going into the final days of racing and he only has to keep his major competitors from gaining a bunch of time on the final race days.
In theory, for the Tour Championship, make the strokes a little tighter, use the previous 3 tournaments Wyndham, Fed Ex, and BMW for players to earn strokes back through strokes gain avg vs the field, that way every shot in those playoff events have even more meaning, especially for players who are top 30. currently a player like Lowery had zero chance to win the tournament.
Love you guys the best golf show by million miles. Agree fedex playoff is borring. Matchplay would be fun. Why not make it topp 20 goes to playoff . 4 groups 5 players all play each other . 4 best goes to semifinals. That should be the best that goes to the finals or ?
My tip is the captains picks for the international team will be close to chalk from the owgr rankings . Conners , Davis and min woo lee and Taylor Penrith are guaranteed . Than two out of si woo kim, cbaz and hadwin. You can't pick nixk taulor .. it's giving points away ... he just is not in good enough form
Thank GOD you had the good sense to include Min Woo Lee ... to not include that would just be absolutely ridiculous. He's a young star and would bring HUGe energy to the crowd . Plus he is actually great at matcholay .. he won the us junior amateur . Also you are not giving min woo lee anything .. he is ranked 9th !!! To not take him would be a huge call
Great episode! Great year! Can’t wait for the interviews and the CFB talk in the offseason! Smylie, you missing Coach O?
Gosh I love this podcast! Thankful for you guys.
Great discussion today…
Thanks for the shout out! I love the match play idea. I don't think TV likes the match play if the top players lose early.
Lets lock in on the pick em boys
Again, great episode boys!
Just joined! Super excited!!!

Idk why people keep comparing it to something like the nfl playoffs where it isn’t a “season long race”
At a Masters interview, Scottie saying, "golf is what I do, it's not who I am". I found that to be pretty cool.
Hopefully y’all can make more content like you did at pebble, love the course vlogs

Here's a great idea, FOR ME. If you were shouted out TWICE, on The Smylie Show, you should get to go to the President's Cup!
He said he was taking one week off and going straight to getting ready for the presidents cup.
Let’s go pick em I’m down. U know cold calling for dummies is an OG
