Do the playoffs need a "Rory Rule," PGA Tour history shams, and Keegan's Ryder Cup status

Do the playoffs need a "Rory Rule," PGA Tour history shams, and Keegan's Ryder Cup status

It's time for the playoffs! Andy and Brendan are thrilled to discuss the most important three weeks in golf, kicking off this week at TPC Initech in Memphis for the FedEx St. Jude Championship. 69 of the top 70 players on the PGA Tour will tee it up in the first round of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, with only Rory McIlroy skipping out. This has caused plenty of commotion and Peppy Peter says a new "Rory Rule" may be implemented to force all who qualify to play the three playoff events moving forward. Speaking of the playoffs, Brendan discovered that the Wikipedia article for this first round has become an a minefield of past sponsors and jumbled histories, not unlike the PGA Tour's winner list that deems Cameron Young as "Mr. 1,000." Mr. 1,000 is in Memphis, searching for another strong finish that would place him ahead of Keegan Bradley in the Ryder Cup standings. The calls for Captain Keegan to not pick himself as a player are growing louder by the day, so he'll need to play well in the postseason to silence the doubters. Elsewhere on the schedule this week, the Champions Tour is back stateside in Seattle, the DP World Tour's notable list is... something, and the U.S. Women's Am heads to Bandon. In news, the Creator Classic is returning to East Lake and an SGS favorite announces his last start on Tour.
