US and British Opens Asked To Use FedEx Cup Points For Exemptions
September 19, 2007
In an attempt to make the FedEx Cup more important, Tim Finchem has asked the US and British Opens to use FedEx Cup Points for exemptions.
If the USGA and R&A have any integrity at all, they’ll turn it down. The USGA should remember that it’s motto is “For The Good of the Game”, not “For the Glorification of the PGA Tour.”

Well said. The PGA Tour is BIG business now! There’s a lot of money floating around and money brings greed. Greed as we know doesn’t result in anything good!

I agree. I don’t think the R&A;or the USGA will consider fed ex cup points. And pardon the pun, but it’s pointless as long as the points awarded are proportionate to the money awarded. There’s very little difference in the points list and the money list.

I’m sure that the reason they use the FedEx Cup Points and not the money list is that FedEx can sponsor it. Someone else may have the rights to the money list ... or it may be that they couldn’t copyright the money list.
