The biggest fight of the week?
Oh yeah, we had ourselves a Spieth and DJ playoff in the playoffs on Sunday!
What a way to kick off the FedExCup Playoffs!
A crazy extra-hole bout for their 4th victory of the season.
Congrats to Dustin Johnson on his 16th career win at the NORTHERN TRUST – overpowering
Jordan Spieth in search of his first FedExCup after it narrowly slipped through his fingers
last year.
Maybe he was in a New York state of mind…
DJ tweeted that he was dialed in and feeling recharged heading into the week…
But I think it might have been his Real Housewives of New Jersey meeting that got him in the zone.
Before this week got underway on Long Island, Spieth made a pit stop at Liberty National
to get in a practice round for the upcoming President’s Cup.
Fellow Class of 2011-member Daniel Berger and Spieth take their preparation very seriously
and played through the President’s Cup Media Day event.
“Don’t mind us, just playing through!
Carry on!”
Some of their potential fellow teammates arrived to the P-Cup site in style.
Rickie Fowler and Justin Thomas took a chopper ride in.
Oh to be young, rich and…famous?
Gary Woodland got a kick out of a restaurant getting JT’s name wrong and we did too.
Congrats JP!
But it wasn’t all fun and games.
These guys meant business as they kicked off the playoffs.
Even so, Rickie Fowler found some time to give back to one of his biggest fans.
"What does it mean to get a ball from Rickie Fowler?"
"It means everything. It's so cool. Yeah, I can't believe it."
During Thursday’s round, 12-year-old Sam got what he thought was the ultimate prize
– an autographed ball from Fowler…
But Rickie got word and wanted to give him even more.
Caution, this will give you all the feels.
Now they are the two best friends that anyone could have…
Rickie even brought him into the locker room Sunday and gave Sam President’s Cup tickets!
Defending FedExCup champ Rory McIlroy also took a timeout to give back to the St. Jude
Children’s Research Hospital with a homerun of an event at Yankees stadium...
Meanwhile, Brooks Koepka “met up” at a Mets game
From bad puns to puppies!
Griff the golf course dog helped get Glen Oaks ready this week…
From grounds keeping… to tending the range…
Adorable!
Way cuter than those solar eclipse glasses…
Those guys look like they could be in a boy band together.
Billy Horschel among them, the 2014 FedExCup champ rang in the New York Stock Exchange
early-week…
But don’t worry, there were no gavels involved this time.
Remember last year?
Patrick Reed breaking the gavel was one of the best Trending On TOUR moments of all time…
Buckle up!
The FedExCup Playoffs continue this week at the Dell Technologies Championship.
But double-check the schedule, because we have a Labor Day finish in Boston.
The event and PGA TOUR LIVE kick off on Friday.
I’ll see you then and each night for a recap in The Takeaway.
Have a great week!
