Tiger Woods has put himself in the driver's seat for winning the FedEx Cup. But there are 29 other guys who want to bump him out of the way. The difficulty of overcoming the field is what motivates him to play golf.

"The challenge of just trying to pull off a shot and the challenge to try and beat all the guys in the field is exciting for me. That is my rush when I play," Tiger Woods said.

That proves those down the list have a chance if they play well, particularly in Haas' victory.
