And, to be honest, it was easy to see this coming.<\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-7fa0i6\">With the changes to the TOUR Championship\u2014starting strokes are now a thing of the past\u2014there\u2019s no upside to him trying to overtake Scottie Scheffler. Everyone starts at even at East Lake. <\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-7fa0i6\">Like Dan said above, it\u2019s going to be hot as hell at TPC Southwind next week. I wouldn\u2019t want to play a meaningless\u2014for Rory at least\u2014four rounds of golf in that stuff. AC sounds a whole lot better.<\/p>\n<p class=\"chakra-text css-7fa0i6\">Plus, it\u2019s just another week to rest at home and prepare for the BMW Championship in Maryland. I wouldn\u2019t be surprised if a few other big names follow in his footsteps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rory McIlroy, who sits in the No. 2 spot in the FedEx Cup Playoffs points standings, is skipping&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":112479,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[47],"tags":[1430,62,67,132,68],"class_list":{"0":"post-112478","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-golf","8":"tag-golf","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-united-states","11":"tag-unitedstates","12":"tag-us"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/114958172449684984","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112478","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=112478"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/112478\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/112479"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=112478"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=112478"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=112478"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
