SI Golf’s writers and editors debate the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup title chase and unusual ruling on a cracked driver.
Welcome back to SI Golf’s Fact or Fiction, where two screens are now in effect in our living rooms for golf and football.
Once again, we’re here to debate a series of statements for writers and editors to declare as “Fact” or “Fiction” along with a brief explanation. Responses may also be “Neutral” since there's a lot of gray area in golf.Even after the boosted points of the first two FedEx Cup playoff events, Scottie Scheffler leads by nearly 1,100 points over Xander Schauffele and 2,700 over third-place Hideki Matsuyama. He also has more than double the points of fourth-place Keegan Bradley.
Speaking of Matsuyama, he withdrew after the first round of the BMW with lower back pain. Injuries are part of sports and sometimes come at bad times—due to that withdrawal, Matsuyama shouldn’t be allowed to play the Tour Championship.. The system allows you to move on without playing and the Tour is careful not to force anyone to compete. I’m surprised more guys who have their place at the Tour Championship locked up don’t skip one of the first two events.
Sunday at the BMW, Matt Fitzpatrick cracked the face of his driver but was not allowed to replace it as PGA Tour rules officials said the driver was not “significantly damaged” though the crack was visible. Fitzpatrick was furious, calling the ruling “outrageous,” and he’s right.There is a reason it was handled this way due to the nature of club design and pushing the envelope of what is legal. The rules makers thus hold a high standard for a damaged club. But common sense should prevail.
