Rolfing On Why FedEx Cup Is A Success: "I gauge my enthusiasm for thing by how I'm feeling going to Kahului airport. This week, I couldn't wait to get here."

Mark Rolfing, the noted Tim Finchem fishing companion, Hawaiian tourism board chair emeritus, brilliant pronouncer of Fred Funk's name and NBC roving reporter spoke to a group of PGA Tour "partners" and as Bob Carney reports, is beating the FedExCup drum no matter how ridiculous it sounds.

"It's amazing the change I've seen in the players." Judging from player reaction in early years, said Rolfing, "You never would believe guys would be checking out the leaderboard to see how Charles Hoffman was doing." The FedEx Cup is causing players to make different choices, too. "Paul Casey shows me what the FedEx Cup means because he's not playing the Ryder Cup. You know the FedEx cup is working if you can make Colin Montgomerie mad."

Oh that's some logic there.

And yes, as the headline says, Rolfing knows it's a big event because he gets a feeling at the Kahului airport. There are several jokes I'd like to make here, but I won't.
