Scottie Scheffler hasn’t performed all that well in the PGA Tour’s postseason, so you can understand why he isn’t exactly attached to the three-week FedEx Cup Playoffs as a year-ending competition.

The PGA Tour released its 2025 season season schedule on Wednesday, the eve of the 2024 FedEx Cup Playoffs.

Lefty finished 34th […]
