Holly G is in the studio in the studio on the eve of the Tour Championship with special co host Mike Jamison from the International Network of Golf and the Examiner.com. 


Mike just returned from Chicago  fundraiser the Freedom Golf Association. The organization that works with special needs golfers and was started  by amputee EQ Sylvester. The event was at Cog Hill. After that event there was a Wounded Warriors Project with special guest Rory McIlroy. After the events, Mike came away with a
lot of respect for Rory and both organizations


After recapping the BMW Championship, Mike and Holly talk about Player of the Year. Jordan Spieth or Jason Day?

Although Day has been on a hot streak, Holly thinks it should be Spieth.
Mike said that today people have a short memory so that factors in to the decision. He feels if Day doesn't win the Tour Championship that it should be Spieth hands down. The two talk about the whole season as a body of work. 

Holly mentions how the season started for Spieth and then
his run in the 4 major championships and what he has accomplished throughout the season that started in the fall of 2014.

Bob Harig, ESPN.com, is the show's first guest and starts the Tour Championship conversation with The Golf Insiders .The final event is down to 29 Players now that Jim Furyk had to withdraw for a wrist injury.

Holly asks Bob about Jason Day’s response he made in the press conference recently about what he'd do with the $10
million FedEx Cup check? Day said he'd buy a few V-necks from Target. Bob said it’s "funny money" now
for him, given that Day has won 4 times recently and has probably over $5 million in winnings.

Holly brings up Jason Day's life story. Day said he's a simple man. Bob said
that Jason said he used to think about the money at first because he didn’t have much money before and it was important for him to make money.  But Bob said once Day
stopped thinking about the money, golf seemed to become more easier.
You have to come to a point
where you don’t think about money," Harig said. "Just perform and the money will come."
Mike, who was in Chicago and watched the players on Wednesday, said that it was very windy but Jason Day has played some incredible
golf this past week and made it look so easy. He asks Bob if he recalls anyone having this kind of run recently? 
"It’s reminiscent of
Tiger and the rolls he has been on ... 2007 or 2009," Harig said. We have sort have been waiting on this type of play from Jason for
the past couple of years. 

Holly asks if Jason has a big advantage because of the
points lead?

Bob said "No." He feels that Day has a lot of confidence and is a very, very good
situation heading into the final FedEx Cup event.

Holly asks Bob about Daniel Berger a rookie who is now 9th in the standings. Bob pointed out that Berger got  to the Tour Championship in his first year and that
means a lot, more than just the money. Bob said Berger is also is "playing with
House money and should have a nice FedEx Cup bonus no matter where he finishes in the Top 30.

Holly asks Bob about a long shot coming out of the pack. Bob said that the FedEx Cup is set up so everyone can win, but those out of the Top 5 would need a lot of things to happen. 
The Tour's nightmare scenario is
if Henrik Stenson wins the FedEx Cup without winning a tournament all year ... but would need Jason Day to finish no better than 11th and need other guys to fall
off.
Holly, Mike and Bob then discuss Player of the Year.
Jordan Spieth has had 3rd best year in the modern year of the majors. Ben Hogan and Tiger Woods ... no
one else has won 3
