Sneakylong That said they could still tweak the FedEx Cup playoffs to make it better. For awhile there a person could skip one of the playoff tournaments and still win the FedEx Cup.🙄

It's even worse on the 'Senior' Tour - One year, Bernie won everything and some duffus won the last
event to win it. Langer Rule. 🙄

      He won 2 of the 3 "playoff" events and finished Top 20 on a course that doesn't suit him and lost
      LOL
      Cheater long putter Scott McCarron is the doofus I believe.

          Spuzz Cheater long putter Scott McCarron is the doofus I believe.

          Agree....LOL....that is what my wife calls him. 🤣

            Spuzz Should wins by golfers using long putters even count? Who would want the Legacy of being known as old Broomstick Billy?

                Subsonic Right? Who wants to be known as a Long Putter Larry?

                PGA : Mr. Mcarron, you're not allowed to anchor the grip of your putter against your chest. That is cheating. Stop it.

                Dufus McCarron: I'm not anchoring. It just looks like I am.

                PGA: Ok, then. Carry on.

                  Subsonic Who would want the Legacy of being known as old Broomstick Billy?

                  Haha. Well in Bernhard Langer's case if he were to die on a park bench tomorrow, the opening line of his obituary would be two-time Masters champion. That's the opening line of his professional golf legacy. I doubt anywhere in the obit would there be mention he used a broomstick putter. lol

                      Subsonic Maybe to you. I think to the rest of us there will always be an * next to those wins.

                      Haha. I guess we'll just have to wait and see if in his obit they use an asterisk. lol I doubt it though. Same with Wes Simpson and Keegan Bradley.

                      Opening line in their obit is U.S. Open champion and PGA champion. That’s their professional golf legacy.

                      No mention of belly putters. Because just as with Bernard it was legal when they won.😉

                        Subsonic I think to the rest of us there will always be an * next to those wins.

                        Then, what to do about Sam Snead, the all time win leader ? The PGA even banned him
                        from a putting style. As long as they comply with 'current' Tour rules, I suppose there
                        would be no * 🤔

                            Subsonic

                            Snead was great no question. Too bad he never won a U.S. Open (runner up 4 times). And he and Tiger are tied with most wins with 82. Although some of Sam’s wins would be considered ticky tack wins against inferior fields. Still 82 wins is 82 wins.

                            Story Harvey Penick tells in his book is when he was on the range and heard the sound of Snead’s ball coming off the face he decided then to be a club pro. Lol

                                Sneakylong Sam’s wins would be considered ticky tack wins against inferior fields.

                                I wouldn't want to play against Hogan, Nelson, etc.... Some of Snead's records are untouchable.
                                And, it is very hard to compare different eras.
