“Team golf is the answer” – Fans dismiss Xander Schauffele's claims that the Tour Championship scoring format is 'confusing'

American golfer Xander Schauffele is dissatisfied with the 2023 Tour Championship's scoring system as golfers competing in this week's event will begin with varying scores.

The FedEx Cup leader will begin the tournament with a score of 10 under par, followed by the second place with 8 under, the third position with 7 under, the fourth position with 6 under, and the fifth position with under 5.

Players ranked 6-10 begin with under 4 scores, 11-15 with under 3, 16-20 with under 2, 21-25 with under 1, and 26-30 at even par.

NUCLR Golf recently shared Xander Schauffele's comment on Twitter with the caption:

"Xander Schauffele on the Tour Championship scoring format: “..I still believe that when I talk to some friends they still feel a little confused on how it all happens. I think this is supposed to be our most important event all year. It kind of comes down to this moment. And, like, for people to be a little bit confused, it's still not a finished product to me in that sense.”#FedExCup"

Fans jumped into the comments section to give their solution.

"Team golf is the answer," wrote one fan.

"I think it is cheesy……..no other golf tournament is played like this…..It’s not worth watching when the best player in the world gets strokes. Yuck!!!!!!" jotted another,

"Not sure the answer but starting even doesn’t seem fair either. If they all started the same and Scheffler and let’s say Speith lapped the field and Jordan won by a stroke wouldn’t seem right him being named the champ," another fan wrote.
