PGA Tour needs a true playoff


Over the weekend, Phil Mickelson won the "Tour Championship" yet Tiger Woods won the Fed Ex cup, all in one weekend. This is what's wrong with the PGA's playoff system. No one wants to celebrate a 2nd place finish in a tournament, but Tiger did because he finished with the most points and earned the Fed Ex Cup. So While Phil actually won the tournament, Tiger also won by finishing 2nd. Plain old stupid. The PGA tour needs a real playoff, with a SINGLE champion crowned at the end. I suggest a single elimination match play tournament over a few weeks. Match play is so fun to watch, would bring in big sponsors and spectators to increase revenue as well. The final match should be 36 holes, a true mental and physical test. Thats just my 2 cents. I had to let it out. One love.
