Yep. Thought it would have started already, but seems the start was delayed by a storm. Not the strongest field, possibly due to the Olympics
Yep, 8 hour delay in place after the tropical storm Debby will dump a ton of rain. For sure the Olympics affected the field but it's the last chance for players to secure their spot in the playof f s so should still be some good golf if they can start!

Bugger! I changed Rai to Si Woo Kim at the last minute, and now it looks like the cutline will be at -4 if round 2 ever finishes.
Looks like Toxic will have a healthy lead going into the playoff events.
Very close comp this season, was anyone's game for a lot of the season, good to see. :)

@HimothyTaranto , hey mate, in the Golf comp, you just need to keep an eye on who makes the cut after round 2, then drag and drop the bench players into your starting 4, you can still do this for round 4 but you've missed round 3.

Great tip - only took me 6 weeks to update my PGA App to make it happen 😆

Hey guys, well it's the final week of our Fantasy Golf comp, and from what I can see, it's a very close 4 Horse race to the final victory with the BMW Championship this week.
It'll be all guns blazing for me this week to try and make up that point deficit and catch Toxic who still sits atop the leaderboard...but with plenty of points on offer, all top 4 of us have a chance to do it.
Winner - 200 points
Second- 120 points
Third - 76 points
Fourth - 54 points
Fifth - 44 points
Sixth - 40 points
Plus the added bonus points of low round of the day and second low round, so it'll be an interesting finish, good luck to all! :D(y)
Great to see a new member join up, Phil's Phenoms aka Himothy Taranto, great score this week mate, nice warm up couple of rounds for you for the coming new season.
It'd be good to get even a few more newbies joining up to get to about 10 regular players or even more is better!
Cheers guys and good luck this week.

I thought there were two events to go. Trying to get us to not enter the final event to give yourself a better chance of winning? ;)

Haha no, there's actually no points for the Tour Championship for the players...so I assumed it didn't count, but I scrolled back to last year and you said, you were 100 points ahead of me before the Tour Championship and we had the same players...
Wish I could look back on past years in PGA Fantasy, the Golfers must get the usual birdie, par, eagle points etc but no bonus points for placing because the players don't earn points... just money in the Tour Championship.
So, we're in the Penultimate event haha.

Ok guys, sorry about the confusing post before, I wasn't really sure what was going on regarding the Tour Championship because the players don't actually receive fedex cup points for that tournament, so I assumed neither did we.
Anyways, turns out it's all in the rules on the Fantasy site and here's the relevant information.

So, although there aren't any actual fedex cup points allocated to the real players in the Tour Championship, we, Fantasy players, get the points as per the same as the previous two playoff events, which is this.....

So sorry about the confusion!, now I'm the full bottle, I'll have to adjust my picks! :LOL::censored:

Happy to help. You did have me a bit worried that I had saved up too many of my better players for an event which didn't count though. I was fairly sure the final still gave out full points, and with only 30 participating in that event, it's fairly easy to get a decent points haul from your selections. I was hoping most of you have burned through all the good picks so I can come from behind for the win, but I don't think that's likely.

It's likely, I know you have 1 Scheffler and 2 Schauffele's left,
And I can tell you that the other two in the top 4 don't have any left of either.
I may or may not still have some cards to play ;)

Can guarantee I've burnt through all the top seeds, hail Mary's for next 2 weeks

I can still select anyone from the top 20 of the cup standings across the next two tournaments, as I haven't used any of them up completely. 13 of the 20 I can select in both tournaments if I really want. :)

Seeing as I'm 4th in the league, I have been far too conservative with selections this year and probably left my run too late (you know it's hard to make up ground late from last year), but I should at least be able to finish off strongly with who I have left to choose from.
