Fall no longer afterthought, even for Tour's big names

ST. SIMONS ISLAND, Ga. – As a rule in professional golf, the fall has not normally been a time when dreams come true.

The time after the Tour Championship has traditionally been the realm of newcomers or journeymen looking to start something special or salvage a season, respectively, but one word has changed all that – wraparound.

With the introduction of the wraparound schedule on the PGA Tour last season, these once competitive afterthoughts have become something greater than the sum of their parts.
