First tournament of the FedEx Cup Playoffs this weekend. Patrick Reed is the defending champion here and he's actually won this event 2 of the last 4 years. However, we're at a new venue for this event this year in TPC Boston. Familiar stomping ground of a different playoff event.

 

Bryson DeChambeau won the event two years ago and with his increased distance he's apparently found a new swing thought to increase his accuracy following his best finish in a major at the PGA Championship two weeks ago.

 

We've had some fantastic tournaments since the reset. Hoping the playoffs continue the trend.

 

Cool moment on the range today when Tiger congratulated Collin Morikawa on joining the major club.

Brooks has withdrawn with a knee injury. He's outside the points for next week's event so this is the end for him in the playoffs.

Yep

That’s sad but perhaps he’s resting up for the other two majors?

Watched the NT Charity Challenge; a 9-hole game of Wolf.  Cameron Champ won over Charley Hoffman, Marc Leishman, and Abraham Ancer.  None of them putted very well, but it's early yet.  Champ hit some long drives in the fairway and was closest to the pin on the shots I saw.  It would be fun to see a Champ/Bryson pairing.

He only really cares about majors so not surprised if that's the case. I don't think he wants to get to the US Open and still be needing mid-round treatment like he got at the PGA.

This is my least favorite time of the golf season.  The NASPGA playoffs... 🙄

But, this year is ‘ok’... since we will be rolling in to two majors that are far more exciting than the race for the FedEx cup.  
 

But... I am picking the BAD man to win the whole thing.  He will drive anything under 370 yards, and be done with it.  Ancer might surprise us with a W somewhere in the next few events to make things interesting.

Here's who I got to win this week.

1) Bryson: why? No one likes him... well he hits it far and is figuring out his irons/wedges with the new weight/strength he stumbled upon one day. If he can keep his drives in the fairway, watch out.

2) Jason Day: Have you seen his results from the past 4 tournaments? You haven't? Well its 4th, 6th, 4th, 7th. He's playing alright.

3) Don't be surprised if Matthew Wolff or Sungjae Im are up there on the leaderboards. Boom or bust since the restart.

Looking forward to watching along this weekend.

I like Bryson but it seems I'm in the minority lol. He's already pretty accurate, especially considering how far he hits it, but he also said he did a couple marathon range sessions to find a new swing thought that will improve his accuracy throughout the bag. He said he found it, so it's a matter of seeing whether he's able to bring it to the course consistently.

Really enjoying seeing Jason Day playing good golf again. Sucks seeing someone so talented struggle so much with such a significant injury.

Feels weird having playoffs with one major played, one cancelled and two yet to be played but it is what it is I guess. Just hoping for some good golf.

The Biggies are here, and lots of other talent showing up recently.  How can it not be good golf?

I'm picking RORS but the X-man may take it.

Scottie Scheffler going low... as in 59!! 👏  Joining a club with very few members.

And... no sooner than I hit the post, I see DJ shot a 27 on the front 9 😮.  This course is getting shredded.

Whatever swing tweak Scottie Scheffler made from yesterday to today (59) , I hope to God someone wrote everything down. I am interested. 😀 And DJ has got possibly a more impressive round going--see if he holds together down the stretch. Those guys have to be having fun in a round like that. I did it once. On XBOX Tiger Woods 14 I think.... years ago. 😄

Rory and Tiger tee off together at 8:30am tomorrow.  Do you think they will say "Let's go get 'em!!" ?  Sometimes a pairing will get hot together... then again, sometimes they go the other way.  Can they get close tomorrow?

Should be fun to watch, but I'll be on the golf course.

I was very wrong about Bryson. It was tough to watch him 3 putt multiple times from inside 20 feet. My boy Matthew Wolff up there, hopefully he can go low on the weekend! 
 

I’m proud of DJ not wanting to steal the spotlight away from Scottie today. Pro move.

DJ is not messing around... he let the PGA slip away... now he is playing like a maniac.

Yes he is.  22 under par through 3 rounds is just not right.  It's very likely he wins this at 26-28 under.  Perhaps this track is another one that has simply outlived its day for PGA Tour venues.

Just catching other highlights from today. Rory and Tiger seemed to be feeding off one another... and not in a good way 😬.  Rory visiting areas of the course most of us are familiar with. And watching Tiger walk up inclines, out of traps, etc. is making me wince - he looks stiff.
