OK, so how does the Tour Championship work now? I seem to remember Tiger Woods and Justin Rose both standing victorious last year.
You remember correctly, but those days are over. Now, there can only be one — kind of like The Highlander — with the victor at East Lake also being crowned FedExCup champion. Unlike in the past, when the Tour Championship was staged as its own event, the season finale at East Lake is now a four-round, weighted tournament to identify a single champion.
So what is the point of playing the Northern and the BMW if the player who wins at East Lake is crowned the winner of the playoffs? What am I missing here?
Sorry Bill ,missed this question earlier , it is all about positioning now. The tier is strokes relative to par. Here is a really good article detailing how it will work.
For our competition we will crown our regular season champ then reset points for tour championship
