World No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler may be all but a lock to take home the FedEx Playoffs, but he says he isn't a fan of the 'silly' postseason format.
Scottie Scheffler is all but a lock to take home his first FedEx Cup — but all it takes is a bad weekend to screw it all up. And that's why the reigning Olympic gold medalist isn't too fond of the PGA Tour's current playoff format. 'I talked about it the last few years. I think it's silly,' he says.
Scheffler knows all too well that one bad tournament can ruin it all. In both 2022 and 2023, he began the Tour Championship at East Lake at 10-under, thanks to his previous performances. But bad final rounds in both tournaments kept him from being named the FedEx Cup Champion. The Top 70 golfers are in the first leg of the playoffs.
McIlroy, though, did admit it may not be the 'fairest reflection of who's been the best player of the year.' 'But I think at this point, we're not in for totally fair. We're in for entertainment and for trying to put on the best product we possibly can,' McIlroy said. The playoffs begin on Thursday with the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis at TPC Southwind.
