About the author

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.

    Nobody wants a head start.
    The guy that got the head start did not even want it.
    I’ve been saying it but PTIs tony agreed; the top 30 play for the cup.
    It’s as hard as ever to make the top 3o. Anyone in the tour championship deserves to win it all.

    Then there’s the other playoff events. Make players finish top half to move on; with some byes for top regular season guys, major champs, etc.

    Rory deserves to be player of the year.
    Won two the Players in addition to the Tour Championship against the best competition in the world.
    That plus the fact he has way more class than Koepka should cinch it.

      Rory would get my vote but I’m wondering if the PGA Tour players might hold a slight bias because he’s the face of the European Ryder Cup team?

        No brooks edged Rory. Majors rule. It’s that simple.
