3. Because it's the last
major of the season
Sure, the FedEx Cup
playoffs — and their
$10 million first
prize — now cap the
season, but the format
has been tepidly
received. The majors
are the majors, the
place where legends
are cemented, and, in
the case of the PGA,
where player-of-the-year
honors and
Ryder/Presidents Cup
teams are often
decided. No other
major holds that clout.
