Last Week’s Results
Fitzy emerges from the pack Sunday to bag his first PGA Tour win — the 27 year-old with braces looked in total control all day Sunday. Shout-out to the four smart FGL members that earned the huge $3.15M payday with the Brit this week… enough to move a couple people up over 100 spots in the standings! Well done.
POTW
The FGL Playoffs
Friendly reminder that we are just three weeks away from our “FGL Playoffs” side-contest starting up! We’ve got the Travelers this week, John Deere next week, then a double-pick week (Scottish Open + Barbasol)… and after that the top 64 in the overall rankings will find themselves qualified for this year’s playoffs, which will kick off with The Open Championship.
Rules Refresher
With six weeks left in the FGL season, the top-64 ranked participants in the season-long standings will qualify for The FGL Playoffs, which will take place over the final 6 weeks of the season. (This side-contest is in addition to the normal season-long one-and-done contest and does not replace it. Think of this like the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup… the tournaments every week still matter but there is another contest going on in the background based on the results of each tournament.)
These 64 participants will be placed into a single-elimination bracket based on their ranking and compete in a head-to-head match-up against their competitor according to the bracket & seeds. The winner of each match will be determined by which participant's chosen golfer for that week performs better (again, this will be your normal FGL pick for the week, not an additional pick for this side-contest).
If both selected golfers in a match-up miss the cut, the participant with the golfer that has the best score relative to par will advance. In the event of any tie, the better-seeded participant will automatically advance. This gives an advantage to qualifying for the playoffs with as high a seed as possible.
