I don’t know what you are referring to about not playing but yes, he made it. 

He didn't play today because he didn't do well enough last week.  They said he was at his parents house in Annapolis.  

At one point, he was above #30 but I guess some people dropped and he moved up as a result.

Good Lord, man. 

First of all - you're talking about Daniel Berger.

Second - you get 0 points for withdrawing/not playing - you can't "back your way in" to the final weekend. It's a cumulative points total, not a rolling average like the OWGR. You get more points for coming in last than for not playing.

Gotterup was all over the early coverage because he was right there on the bubble. They probably showed 15 shots from him.

Scottie is just inevitable.

I know if I had to choose Scottie or the field next week, I'm taking Scottie, and I think the majority are with me. No idea who is pick for second.

Length of time it took to fall reminded me of this amazing shot...

 

My best friend was on the 16th hole when that occurred. Have alot of memorabilia from his time on the course. His oldest brother brought his three other brothers and father and paid for everything. Back in the day, I can’t count the number of times watching the Masters at their home. Back in the day when only the back nine was televised,

Probably the consensus 2nd best player in the world that has 3 Tour championships.

Not that Rory was very good this week.

He played today and finished and went to his parents house nearby. 

Oh okay so he was talking about 2 different golfers.

In the backyard of his parents house in Annapolis?

They need to fix the god awful format of the playoff. Give the people what they want and make the last event match play. Keep the first 2 events the same if you want, dwindling down the player count to 30 players and then the last event in East Lake should be match play where 1 & 2 seeds get first round byes. First round 14 matches, 2nd round 8 matches, etc. and you can have the 2nd to last and last rounds on Sunday kinda like they did with dell match play so you can squeeze in more commercials to appease the TV people. Highest vs lowest seed format. 1 & 2 seeds would only need to win 4 matches and everyone else would need to win 5 to win it all. That way, it really feels like the best man wins and gives us a format we don’t get any other time during the year where it’s more direct competition. This years format is idiot cause if bridgeman goes out and has the tournament of his life, is anyone going to be content watching that? What’s the point of beating everyone in cup points all season if it gets you no competitive advantage at the end. Idk how the people at the top can get away with allowing such a shitty format to go off like this.

this all makes sense to make it match play and I agree, but TV hates it.  They are guaranteed 4 straight days of the top 10 players on the tour, and likely in the world, playing.  what happens if scottie, rory, rose, cantlay get beat in their first rounds?  TV numbers go to shit.

Here’s a breakdown of what the world No. 1 has earned this year, including bonuses (in italics):

$23,962,883: Official PGA Tour earnings

$10,000,000: Season-long FedExCup leader

$8,000,000: Comcast Business Tour Top 10 winner

$5,000,000: FEC leader after BMW Championship

That’s a total of $46,962,883, thanks to his on-course performance in 2025.

Playing for $10M next week, I believe. So that could be ~$56M. Add in another $30M in endorsements and its not hard to see Scheffler fucking around and ultimately becoming a billionaire.
