Fed Ex Playoffs

Who ever has the most points at the end of the 4th playoff event, wins the Fed Ex cup and becomes the so called “best player.”
Unfortunately, the schedule and method of play is a failure. There is little excitement generated with the way the schedule is now played. It is my view that there should be only three tournaments, with the final playoff being a match play event.
In the first half of the 1900's, most tournaments were match play. Match play is more exciting, and excitement is what golf has been lacking.
