World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler isn't particularly fond of the PGA Tour's playoff format.
Pat McAfee reacts to Scottie Scheffler's miraculous final round that led him to a gold medal for the United States in Paris. But as the PGA Tour's three-event playoff starts Thursday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, Scheffler was asked about the trophy that has eluded him so far in what has otherwise been a stellar career -- the FedEx Cup.
"I talked about it the last few years, I think it's silly," Scheffler said Wednesday during a news conference at TPC Southwind."You can't call it a season-long race and have it come down to one tournament. With six victories, including in four of the eight signature events that awarded elevated FedEx Cup points, Scheffler has 5,993 points. He has a nearly 2,000-point lead over"I love this format because if it wasn't this format, then none of us would have a chance against Scottie because he's so far ahead," McIlroy said."So I really like this format."
There will be two FedEx Cup playoff events played before the Tour Championship. Scheffler has played well just about everywhere over the past three seasons, but his results haven't been great at TPC Southwind. The top 50 golfers in the FedEx Cup points standings after the FedEx St. Jude Championship will advance to next week's BMW Championship at Castle Pines Golf Club in Castle Rock, Colorado. It's the tour's first stop at that course since 2006.
