The Tour Championship: 40 years of success and failure

from 50 Things That Changed Golf · host Golf Digest

In 1987, PGA Tour commissioner Deane Beman announced the first-ever Tour Championship, and 20 years later, new commissioner Tim Finchem kicked off the first-ever playoff series. What problem was it trying to solve, and where has it succeeded or failed in four decades of change? On this week's Local Knowledge, we assess the state of the tour's Super Bowl and explore where it may go in the future. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
