Last year in the Tour Championship Tiger Woods was the best player in the (limited) field, scored the best in relation to par, and notched his historic 80th win. It was a huge moment, and despite the field size no one is discounting his win.
Under the new format, the player that scores the best during the week doesn't necessarily walk away with the win. Under these rules Justin Rose would have won the event last year. Were that to happen again this year, let's say Brooks Koepka wins by one shot, but doesn't shoot the best score during the week, should this count as another tournament win? Or should the FedEx Cup be regarded in its own light but given the scoring changes, no longer count as an "official win?"
