Oh No, Not Another Wacky FedExCup Scenario!

Larry Dorman features some interesting comments from players about the current system and the meaning of the word playoff, and tantalizes us with the (somewhat slim) possibility that Matt Kuchar would win the whole thing without winning a tournament (playoff or otherwise):

Matt Kuchar, who has two second-place finishes among his nine top 10s this year and is third in the FedEx Cup points standings, could conceivably walk away with most of the money and the Tiffany-designed silver FedEx Cup by finishing second this week and next week at the Tour Championship.

Finishing second two weeks in a row is almost as difficult as winning two weeks in a row. But Kuchar’s mind-numbing consistency over the past two seasons, during which he has 20 top-10 finishes in 47 starts, makes it a possibility. And he did finish second in the FedEx Cup last year.
