Please note the early send outs on Saturday and that we are back to J-League notes on Friday "afternoon", at least for this week.
US Open Tennis starts on Monday and we will be covering that, but, as usual for a grand slam event, from the second round onwards.
UEFA Europa League:
I previewed two Europa League matches for subscribers today, but an unable to share my notes on those on the website , I might put up some match previews tomorrow.
I can finish the notes today by setting the scene for a month of some very exciting golf action ........
PGA Tour: 2015 FedEX Cup Playoffs:
Play off season est arrivé !
We have a virtual knockout format, with 125 golfers, playing down to 30 over the next three weeks, they will all then do battle in the "final" with mega money on the line.
Top 125 players on the FedEx standings are eligible to compete and play in the first event, which starts today......The Barclays.
After this week, the top 100 in the standings are then eligible to play in the Deutche Bank Championship.
Following that, the top 70 move on to the BMW Championship and finally.....
Just 30 will feature in the season ending Tour Championship.
There is no halfway cut in the final two events, all four have big prize money, but the top 30 who make the Tour Championship will also share out some huge bonus payments ($35m !) .
This always makes for some interesting scenarios with people busting a gut to shoot low over closing holes despite being way off the pace, just moving up from 101st to 100th spot could be vital, it would mean playing next week, when it would start all over again, but more importantly, keep the dream alive !
We will definitely be returning to this on Sunday morning and see if the oddsmakers have given this massive incentive, enough weight.
Last year eight of the players ranked 101-125 make it into the top 100 and played at the Deutche Bank Championship and anyone currently outside the Top 50 could even guarantee a place in the final 30 by finishing top 2 this week.
So, an awful lot to keep our eye(s) on over the next few days !
Good Luck.
