FedExCup Playoffs

This week we go to Cog Hill in Illinois for the BMW Championship and for the Fedex points. This is an important tournament because there will only be 30 players who will go to the Tour Championship the next week which is the final playoff event.

With Lefty's win last week he is now sitting in the #1 position with 108,613 points. Steve Stricker is second with 106,200 and lurking in 3rd is Tiger with 103,733 ... the BMW will be a great tournament! There are a lot of GOOD players that are sitting below the 30th spot and they will really have to make some movement this week to keep in the hunt.

The winner of the FedExCup will be the player who has accumulated the most points throughout the Playoffs, not necessarily the winner of THE TOUR Championship. Each week, every player needs to finish as high as possible - not simply to stay in the field for the next event, but to have a chance to win the FedExCup.

What does this mean ... a trophy crafted by Tiffany's and $10 million to the winner and another $25 million going to the rest of the placings.

Yea, it is a big thing!
