The TWeaks Work! The TWeaks Work!
/Bob Harig reporting on Tiger committing to the first of four "playoff" wins, all leading up to the rivetting mathematical possibilities at East Lake:
The year-long points system has been tweaked to make it more difficult to skip tournaments and win the FedEx Cup. Points earned at each playoff event will be five times greater than at regular PGA Tour stops.
See, it's the new points system! Wait, what?
After a week off, there is the Tour Championship (Sept. 24-27), where the top 30 in points advance and will be re-seeded.
Oh there is that week off thing. But I'm sure it was the pressure of losing points-ground that ultimately drove Tiger to play The Barclays.
