JERSEY CITY, N.J. – With the skyline of New York and the Statue of Liberty creating the perfect background, the PGA Tour’s FedEx Cup playoffs are set to begin Thursday at Liberty National Golf Club. The top 125 players on the FedEx Cup point list qualified to play in this event, and 124 are here to compete. The top 70 after the conclusion of play Sunday qualify for next week’s BMW Championship.
At this point in the season and with so much at stake, most golfers are not making major changes to their equipment setups. They are going with gear they trust.
Golfweek’s equipment guru, David Dusek, was on the range and in the practice areas Tuesday and Wednesday and spotted plenty of interesting clubs.
