FedEx Cup playoffs system's debate focuses on rewarding best player and potential improvements.

The FedEx Cup playoffs system in golf, which determines the FedEx Cup champion, has been a topic of debate among players and fans. Critics argue that the format doesn't always reward the best player of the season with the title, but adds excitement to the final events. Some ideas to improve the system include a computer formula that determines a player's lead at the Tour Championship based on their performance, or allowing the top-seeded player to start with a significant lead. No perfect solution has been found, and the focus is on providing entertainment and creating the best product for fans. Some players, such as Rory McIlroy, believe the current system makes the Tour Championship more exciting for golf audiences.
