Two down, two to go.
Laugh if you must, but watching Phil and Tiger battle to the finish Sunday at the Deutsche Bank Championship, I found myself actually giving a damn.
I can't be certain if it was the eventual outcome of the FedEx Cup that interested me or merely the chance to see another good nip-and-tuck showdown between the two best players in the game. But I felt it, it was there -- a small twitch in my give-a-hoot muscle.
After sniffing at all the bells and whistles that make up the FedEx Cup, I also confess that I have checked the points standings after the Barclays and the Deutsche Banks. More than anything, I enjoy seeing who failed to advance to the next week.
Also, I'm starting to think Tiger skipping the first week was a good thing. Next year, to make things fair, maybe the PGA Tour ought to write him skipping the first event into the rules and regulations.
Still, the FedEx Cup has problems, starting with the four straight weeks of play-offs. I know most sports fans think four straight weeks of golf sound like a vacation, but four straight weeks on the road is a slog.

People don't realize that every tournament is a road trip, imagine the Phillies on a four week road trip.
Watching yesterday's final round left me feeling like a day when the Cowboys beat the Eagles. It just leaves me disgusted for the week. I don't even want to look at the Golf Channel because I just know it's going to be all about Phil. I'm not saying it shouldn't be about Phil, I just don't want to see it.
phil and tiger are a good show...enjoy the ups and downs and the competition. Tiger wins too many times
