Tom Edrington

Tom Edrington spent the first 10 years of his misguided youth as a sports writer for the Tampa Tribune. His career brought him face to face with many of sports greatest stars -- Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Muhammad Ali, Don Shula, countless Hall of Fame NFL stars, more PGA Tour players than he can count. In 1980 he was honored by the Golf Writers Association of America for writing the best news story that year, his coverage of Jack Nicklaus' U.S. Open victory at Baltusrol. Today, 36 years later, golf is still a great part of his life, thanks to competitive playing days and the wonderful people he has met on this fabulous journey.

    It’s a disgrace Svensson picked up 37 OWGR points for winnings this 3rd rate PGA tour event, while Rahm only got 21 OWGR points for winning the DP World Tour Championship. The change in the rankings system this year to favour size of field rather than strength of field has not been a good one. Golf can’t help shooting itself in the foot at the moment..

      No argument there. If you went on strength of field, Tiger’s Hero Challenge has the strongest field year in and year out, I don’t know if it still gets ranking points, it did for a while but it took them a long time to go through the application process….guess that’s what happens when everyone “demands” an overhaul in the system, say hello to the new system.
