So we have made it to the home stretch of another great season on the PGA Tour. With the first event at hand, 125 players have qualified for the opportunity to win the 3rd FedEx Cup trophy and the $10 million annunity that goes along with it. This week, the tour comes back to the tri-state area, specifically Liberty National Golf Club in Jersey City, New Jersey. Once an area of abandoned warehouses along the Hudson River, course designer Tom Kite and his team brought together a great course in an urban setting that provides great views of the NYC skyline, the Statue of Liberty along the river shoreline.
Without going into how the points system works or who finished in the top 125, http://www.pgatour.com provides easy access to the complete list as well as how the scoring system will work for each event. What happens from here? The top 100 in points after this week will be qualified for next week's event, the Deutsche Bank Championship that will be held at TPC Boston. From there the top 70 move on to the BMW Championship at Cog Hill G.C. just outside of Chicago. The Tour Championship, presented by Coca Cola is the finale. The top 30 in points will compete at East Lake G.C. in Atlanta 72 holes, no cut with the winner with the highest point total walking away with the top prize.....
All of the top 125 will compete this week for the most part, including many of the top 20 players in the world. Tiger, Phil, Vijay, Padraig and all 4 major winners from this year, Masters' Champ Angel Cabrera, US Open Champ Lucas Glover, Open Champ(and FR's favorite)Stewart Cink and PGA Champ Y. E. Yang join the party to get "the playoffs" underway.......

He made me laugh posting that twitter pic yesterday of the players lot with the bridge in the background......
Hoffa? LOL!!!
I wonder what they did to get rid of all those pollutants. That must have been a daunting task.
Webb Simpson?? Well alrighty then!!!
Looks like tomorrow could be a whole lotta fun if the winds kick up as expected!!
Lots of star power lurking and the certain one is 8 back. Speaking of Tiger, the fact the he and Phil committed to play next week at the Deutsche Bank is a good thing. Good that Amy and his mom are doing well and that Tiger wants the Fed Ex Cup too. With there being a 2 week break in between the BMW and the Tour Championship, I wouldn’t be suprised to see all who can play, play all 4 events....
