Tour Confidential: Scheffler’s dominance, ‘silly’ Playoffs format

Scottie Scheffler’s dominance has been the defining storyline of the 2022 PGA Tour season. After winning four of the first six events of the year, including the Masters, Scheffler has continued to play at a high level, winning the Arnold Palmer Invitational and the Match Play Championship and claiming the top spot in the world ranking.
But while Scheffler has been the undisputed No. 1 player in the world, the FedEx Cup Playoffs format has been the subject of much debate. The current format, which awards bonus strokes to the top players in the standings, has been criticized for being too confusing and for giving an unfair advantage to the top players.
In a recent interview, Rory McIlroy called the format “silly” and said that it needed to be changed. McIlroy’s comments have sparked a debate about the future of the FedEx Cup Playoffs.

But he holed an eight-foot putt for par on the last to seal a famous victory.

“It’s unreal,” said Norgaard. “I’m absolutely lost for words.”

Scheffler pads lead, 18 holes away from $25M

Scottie Scheffler maintains his dominance at the Masters Tournament, extending his lead to three strokes entering the final round. The World No. 1 put together another impressive performance, carding a 3-under 69 on Saturday to reach 9-under par overall. Scheffler’s nearest challengers are Cameron Smith and Sungjae Im, who trail by three shots. Scheffler is chasing history at Augusta National as he seeks to become the first player since Tiger Woods in 2002 to win the Masters and the Players Championship in the same year. A victory would also earn him a record-breaking $25 million prize, as the PGA Tour announced earlier this year that the winner’s share at the Masters is increasing by $2.5 million.

The rules penalty that may cost Sahith Theegala millions? Here’s his side

Sahith Theegala has apologized to the Valero Texas Open after being penalized four strokes for an errant drop in round two of the event.

The American was assessed the penalty after video footage showed he did not drop his ball from knee height during the first round.

Theegala signed an incorrect scorecard, and under the rules, he was given a two-stroke penalty. The additional two-stroke penalty was added because Theegala’s playing partners did not notice the incorrect drop and report it to an official.

The penalty dropped Theegala from a tie for second to a tie for 11th. Had he been aware of the penalty during the final round, he may have taken a more aggressive approach and earned a better result. The prize money difference between second and 11th place is over $1 million.

Theegala’s situation serves as a reminder that even seemingly minor rules infractions can have a significant impact on a player’s tournament standing.
