hey guys
just a question on the fedex cup
what is it and how is it scored lol i dont watch much golf just play heeps i love it

all about points, 4500 points if you win in regular season, 9,000 points in the playoffs, basically anyone inmside top 144 has a chance of winning the TEN MILLION DOLLARS

ok cool thats awesome i hope to win the fedex cup i could use a nice 10mill in my pocket lol

Ha, but even if you win it, golfpro12, you don't get 10 mil in your pocket, unless you are already retired. Because the award isn't a check, it is an annuity that you cannot access until you are at least 45 years old, and cannot get full access until you are 65.

Which does raise a very valid question in my mind, normally caddies are paid 10% of the pro's winnings... how does the caddy get 10% of an annuity?

They call it a $10M 'compensation package'. I do not know the exact details, but something about that prase tells me that the winner might not end up with all of the $10M in his pocket immediately.

so u get some of it when u win and some when u get older
