I don’t think that PGA Tour officials had the following in mind when they devised the new season-ending series of tournaments called the Fed Ex Cup:

Before the FedEx Cup can run with the big guns at the NFL and major league baseball, it’s going to first have to crawl better than Little Leaguers.
On both Saturday and Sunday, the Woods-free Barclays on CBS was beaten by the Little League World Series on ABC. The World Series final Sunday between Georgia and Japan drew a 3.5 overnight rating, while the golf got a 2.1. On Saturday, both the International (1.8) and U.S. (2.2) finals bested The Barclays (1.7).
The Barclays did fare better than a tournament of few stars the week before, the Wyndham Championship. The Wyndham drew a 1.0 on Saturday and 1.3 on Sunday.
