Welp a bit anti-climatic but here we are.
If we do a true reset we are down to pretty much 5 people who can win. If there is no reset then it is down to two.
Once the final numbers are set I'm sure someone will put them in the normal final grid that the Fed Ex uses.
GL all!
On a side note, this is one of those courses -10 is a given. -12 is a good mark but to win you are going to have to hit -14, -15.
I made a spreadsheet to show the final points and positions after a reset and I'll set it up and keep track in this last week. I know if someone who has qualified isn't backfilled but I am not sure if they get 0 points or just last place points? Anyone know that rule?

63-63-57-62 - 35 under total
Trolled by the greens in Rounds 1 & 2. Round 3 was good. Round 4 was OK.
Farewell TGC2 - it was an interesting ride

I really wanted to play well. The high winds on the course was the exact opposite direction that could have made this course play so much better for all the rounds. I played okay golf the first round, got some weird bounces on the second. More bounces in the third made me wonder what we ever liked in this game and I was mailing it in by the fourth, just wanting to get it over and done with. I have to say my putting was something special in the first two rounds as I'm normally not a hole-cup-speed golfer and I made several nice putts that just went over the lip and when I missed I was within a grid. Still it was an interesting game with its many quirks. I'm happy I made the Tour Championship which means that every one of us 30 who did should auto qualify for all majors and other special events, that is if Doyley is fair and honours it like he did after TGC 1. Finishing top 30 for the season, especially considering where I started off as low as wgr 60 and end up 16th really shows that I improved and grinded every tournament. I have officially deleted the game from my computer, tho I kept a backup in case I'm ever nostalgic and am ready to move on. Good luck all!

I had very little motivation to play this except for the fact that I earned the right to do so. Been playing 2019 quite a bit so I feared I would struggle coming back. I didn’t feel like practicing so I jumped in cold and thought whatever happens. The winds were not very friendly and the greens were brutal at times. I had a 4 putt from 6ft. Anyhow -29 and am still glad I finished. Good luck!

Reset points for Fed Ex Tour Championship
Benefits for making final 30: All 30 of the pros competing this week already know they will be playing in the Masters, U.S. Open and British Open. In addition, Entry into the WGC-Cadillac Championship, Arnold Palmer Invitational, RBC Heritage, The Players Championship, Colonial, the Memorial Tournament & AT&T National.
*For the record, Brad was behind Steve by 465ish points. So if Brad wins the Tour Championship or takes 2nd and Steve doesn't win, Brad would win without the reset. This tho is the Tour Championship and the Fed Ex should be reset so here ya go. These thirty folks are technically the top 30 in Rocher Points for Season 4. If they don't play there isn't any back filling.*
Congrats to everyone!
1 Steve Sloan-------- 2000 2 Brad Garcia-------- 1800 3 Scott Fulton------- 1520 4 Mark Custard------- 1296 5 Mitch Barnett------ 1280 6 Justin Smedley----- 1120 7 Jack Oliver-------- 960 8 Albert Fargo------- 800 9 Jim Brown---------- 640 10 Rob Dallas--------- 480 11 Griffin Ray-------- 384 12 Nathan Bedell------ 368 13 Chris Hrabec------- 352 14 Mike Smith--------- 336 15 Fred Tilmant------- 314 16 Ian Sweeney-------- 293 17 John Glenwood------ 272 18 Steve Garrity------ 251 19 Ron Duncan--------- 231 20 Bobby Anderson----- 219 21 Josh Cassiday------ 206 22 Alan Sutherland---- 194 23 Oliver Haas-------- 182 24 Matt Comley-------- 170 25 Bob Balzhiser------ 161 26 Fabrizio Costa----- 151 27 Chris Baumi-------- 142 28 Daxon Blaze-------- 133 29 Dale Buger--------- 124 30 Steven Smyth------- 115

So I haven't been around much lately. Just saw I am in the field for CC-AM this week?
And does anyone know when the disc-based version of the new game comes out? I've always been a physical media junkie...

Mailed in my four rounds.
Hope in return my check is mailed to me.
Bye bye Rocher. I'd like to say it was fun, but...

Doyley Looks like the scoreboard is a bit off this week. Scores under par are being based off of a par 72 course, but this one was par 70. Just a FYI, though I will take -43 instead of my -39 if it's being offered

Well, I wasn't planning on playing the last tournament, but then thought, I probably should as it's pretty awesome to be in the top 30 players at the end of the season. BUT...I suck now because my swing is so different...blah blah blah...anyway, tried my best , struggled A LOT, but powered through a season ending -29. Congrats to everyone who made it this far. Congrats to Steve and Brad...awesome seasons guys. Bye TGC 2. Moving forward with the new game...I AM STRUGGLING. Don't know if I'll ever be the player I was in TGC 1 and TGC 2, but it will be fun trying. My goals for the first season are pretty simple at this point...remain in the PGA, earn one million dollars for the season, get a top 10 finish. Those may not sound like big goals, but I'm basing them on my play thus far which is very wishy washy. I have rounds where I'm -14, and then follow that with -4 on the same course. My swing is good for a round and then it's gone. I've seen guys already shooting -50's in tournaments and I can tell you I'm NOWHERE near that...my goal is to break -30 for now. SO, hope to remain in PGA, but looks like I will be the middle of the road guy for a while. Good luck to all in the new season
