FedEx Cup Post Mortems

Consensus seems to be building that it was all worth it, and now it's on to the major tweaking.

What's more intriguing is what he is saying in private to FedEx, Barclays, Deutsche Bank, BMW and the TV networks. Very important executives with those companies made very expensive decisions to fund the playoff, ostensibly on the assumption that all the best golfers were to play all the time.

One wonders whether he told sponsors that during his sales pitch.
