Season starts Thursday with the new FedEx Cup. Discuss, and add if you like, to my four questions for the year:
Biggest mark made: Assuming Phil Mickelson is over his second half meltdown (and I think he will be), he's my answer. If that doesn't count as is he's already very established, I think Adam Scott will regularly be mentioned among the top five by the end of the year.
Biggest drop-off: Ben Curtis isn't this good.
Biggest unanswered question: Besides the obvious FedEx Cup system, I'm intrigued as to what will happen to the First Tee program, or if something similar will start up after the US gets smoked by the Internationals at the President's Cup, led by a resurging Mike Weir.
Two cents: I'm very interested to see what kind of scores are posted to win the Tour Championship, with the late summer heat in Atlanta and players potentially playing six weeks straight. I've no problem with the FedEx Cup, but hope winning it won't overshadow winning a major.
