Can Tiger Woods Still Win the Fed-Ex Cup?

This week, for Tiger Woods, it’s all about moving up the points list.  At the start of the Deutsch Bank he had 734 points total.  After two rounds, he was projected to finish with 929 points.  But points are not awarded after two rounds.  Woods still has two days to climb farther up the ladder to see how high he can get.

Despite the importance of the points, priority number one this week is being in the top 70 on the list so that he can advance to the BMW Championship next week.  Right now, he’s in 65th place.  

If Woods maintained the status quo, he would get to Chicago.  However, there are 35 guys trying to make sure that they get there instead.  That means it is sure to be a nerve jangling final round on Monday to see who advances and who stays home to watch college football, clean out the garage, paint the guest room, etc.       

While it is a good bet that Woods will make the BMW, does he still have any shot at all to win the Fed Ex Cup? The whole thing.  Another $10 million.  

A victory this week would boost him to 3234 points and he’d surely be in the top five headed to Chicago.  But he may not need to win this week to win the Fed Ex Cup. 

Because of the way the points are stacked—great reward for top finishers in the first three weeks of the playoffs—Woods simply needs to advance with enough points to get himself into the top 15 after the BMW Championship.  That’s because after the first three weeks of the Playoffs, all the points are thrown out and there is a whole new point reset.  

After the BMW, the points leader gets 2,500 points. Second place gets 1,500.  Third, 1,000, and so on to the 30th place, which has 205 points. 

The Tour stats people say that anyone from sixth to 15th has a chance to win if they win the Tour ...
