I had some time, okay a lot of time given my dial up access, so I compared the PGA Tour Money List to the Fed Ex Cup points list (both are through the Barclay's Event). It's been my contention that the same top thirty on the money list will end up at the Tour Championship this year, just like always, despite the Fed Ex Cup points system. Well, I'm right except for 6 people (three spots on the list). Money list has Henrik Stenson, Jerry Kelly and Trevor Immelman in the top thirty and the Fed Ex Cup points list has Jonathan Byrd, Heath Slocum and Stuart Appleby. Stenson and Kelly are 31 and 32 on the points list, Immelman is 37. On the Money List, Byrd is 38, Slocum is 33 and Appleby is 31.
We have a couple more tournaments to go to see how it all turns out, but it will be interesting to compare the two lists the week of the Tour Championship. See if this Fed Ex Cup points system really makes a difference. It doesn't look like it does.
