Just doesn't make sense why we wouldn't follow what the PGA Tour actually does. I don't believe this week's event even has a cut... even so, it's top30 in points after the event... This weeks cut is 30, next weeks is 15. I'm referring to the real PGA tour, the one we're supposed to follow... but we aren't...

Seems very odd to follow the exact weighting of Fedex points throughout the season, to then disregard them when it comes to the playoffs to have some odd system that's essentially a crapshoot. I can't see why we have the Fedex formula up to the playoffs, then not just follow it in them. With this system, someome who only bothered to play the playoff events could get to EL, yet my body of work for 40 events is deemed meaningless because of a few lipped putts in 2 rounds at Medinah.
I will add though, that being 22nd in the Fedex and looking like missing the cut this week, means I am lets says a touch biased π

Yeah by my reckoning there are a slack handful of folk registered for both events.

It's one thing to not earn points for the week due to missed putts, but why does someone that makes it on the number trump all you've accumulated for 200+ hours of TGCT time? I just feel like if nothing is said, nothing will get improved. /endrant

Well, at least there is some form of a playoff. Last yearβs playoff was a waste of time.

Best to wait for Doyley to answer...but I'll say this year's real life PGA playoff was going to be way too complicated to program in for such a small number of events.

Hey Jeff, will WD's be the same for everone next season? Nothing against Tyler but he's had 14 this season, 6 at the start of the season but never got demoted. Players like Ian and Nathan did, just curious why some get demoted and others dont?

Why is the field for this 97 players?

Yeah Tyler had 2nd at The Masters, 5 Top 5's, and 11 Top 25's and the controller isn't working? When I suck I just suck it up and play.
Seems he just found his stroke come playoff time. How convenient.

I've had great fun improving from a string of missed cuts, to getting a couple of Top 5's. In the last 2 months I saw I was about 40th in Fedex and my aim was to make EL, thought it would be a nice acheivement in my 1st season, and it made the last few tournaments even more enjoyable as I crept towards, and then finally, right at the end, into the Top 30. Yay I thought! π Only to see, that the Fedex points accumulated didn't really matter, just needed to make 2 cuts. Kinda felt like the rug had been pulled under my feet. All that said, had a great 1st season and look forward to the next! Thanks to everyone who puts in the work behind the scenes, makes the game so much more enjoyable π

I'm unsure of the cause of this bug but I think it is related to PGA players earning promotion marks but not promoting anywhere. You get 2 demotion marks for a withdraw so if he had enough promo marks stockpiled, he may not get demoted despite all the withdraws. We probably need to have some cap on promo marks earned so that demotion marks actually mean something.

Ok, he did have 6 wds at the start of the season when he wouldn't have had any promo marks though. The same was with Dutch Dean last week, had 3 WDs and every other event DNP for the whole season but played last week.

In a practice round for pin1 on soft/mod/mod, I was -11 through 13 or 14 holes. In the real event, I was +1 through 3 and -11 at the end of the round.
This is why I don't play practice rounds.... On another note....since I know this is a de-facto "end-of-season" event for many, just wanted to say...
I think getting through this PGA schedule and staying in the field, without API pulls, is a meaningful accomplishment given the unique season that it's been. I imagine it'll seem selfish since I'm in that group, but I don't mean it to be. It's merely something I've kept in mind throughout the season once I began realizing that these DQ's were happening without any impact outside of the week in question, and that there were guys winning/top5/etc events and then DQ'ing the next week, or DQ'ing before a win/top5/etc., or - most demoralizing of all (because those 1-off things can happen I suppose) - getting multiple DQ's yet still jumping others in WGR or performing in a "boom-or-bust, top 5/10/15 or API-DQ" way that ended up having an impact on the larger group of other players who had never had FPP related issues.
Anyway, not trying to stir the pot (I promise ) but I don't think those of us who have gone through the year without API-related issues get due praise for doing what should be assumed, battling it out all year with the ups-and-downs we all inevitably have, against others who can't say the same of themselves (for whatever reason). So in short - kudos guys, and a well deserved congratulations on your season for those who won't be advancing past this week, best of luck to those moving on, you have my upmost respect (for whatever it's worth, so likely not too much ).
