Oh, the trials and the tribulations of the PGA tour regular season is over.

Welcome into a very special FedEx Cup playoff edition of the early edge. It's hard to believe,

but we've arrived to the three-week race to the FedEx Cup and more importantly, to $15 million.

So let's bring in the star of the show. You know him. He is the award-winning host of the

First Cup podcast right here at CBS and Sportsline. Rick

G. What's up, man? Coach, it's the playoffs. Good to be back. This is the sprint to the finish

line. Lots of money, lots of great players. This is just, I'm stoked about it. I am too. I am too.

Now, for those people who don't know at home,

so we have news people watching us every single week,

the rotation for the first round of the playoffs goes from TPC Boston to Liberty National.

This year it's Liberty National.

So educate our people at home on what this course, this event, and the players are all about.

Yeah, absolutely. So this course, Liberty National, as coach mentioned, haven't played it since

2019. Patrick Reed won that year. It is just outside of New York City. It's technically in

Jersey. But you can see the Statue of Liberty. It looks like it's on the course. Tons of great

views. That's right. And it really does require you to be in complete control of your game.

I don't think this is going to be a birdie fest. I think it's going to kind of be one of those 12 to 15 under par victories.

And the big storyline out of this field coach is how strong it is. Literally, this is the strongest

non-major, non-player's championship field ever since they started

calculating strength of field it's stronger than this year's masters it is just absolutely

jam-packed with players and because it is the playoffs because it is based on your fedex cup standings

coach basically all of these guys are playing well because you kind of have to to make sure you get yourself into the playoffs.
