Fedex Cup, why these 7?

These seven rank lower on the number of top 100 money winners in the ecvent

Buick Open*$ 4,800,000
Deutsche Bank Championship*$ 5,500,000
U.S. Bank Championship in Milwaukee*$ 3,800,000
BellSouth Classic*$ 5,000,000
FedEx St. Jude Classic*$ 4,900,000
Bell Canadian Open*$ 5,000,000
John Deere Classic*$ 4,000,000

Than these six.
Booz Allen Classic*$ 5,000,000
Chrysler Championship*$ 5,300,000
Cialis Western Open*$ 5,000,000
FUNAI Classic*$ 4,400,000
Michelin Championship*$ 4,000,000
Buick Championship*$ 4,400,000

Why have they chosen to take the first seven over the second six. I can understand the Bell Canadian Open, but not the others. It obviously is not because of the money.

From wisconsin let me give you my 2 cents worth, This may be a way for tournament like Milwaukee to draw some name players they alway struggle to get name players, Phil and Tiger are always no shows vjay is a no show hopefully this will give some name power

Well, I think two of those will now be opposite field events, so that takes care of those. The Western will still be played as one of the three big money events at the end of the season. The Deutsche Bank is a new event and Tiger's event as well...you can forget nixing that one. But it really comes down to choosing one poorly attended (by the top players) tour stop over another...and those other 5 just got the short end of the stick.
