I'll definitely provide more thought and insight on this topic over the next few days, but for the time being, Doug Ferguson of the AP breaks down the latest development in determining a winner of the FedEx Cup:
Under the new formula, points that previously had been reset at the start of the four-tournament playoffs will not be changed until the Tour Championship, meaning all 30 players who qualify for the finale will have a mathematical chance to win.
Finchem said the top five in the standings at East Lake would win the FedEx Cup with a victory, while the next five in the standings also would have a reasonable chance by winning.
It's a shame that match play couldn't have been incorporated into the plan, but hey...there's always next year.
