The Barclays field
This is the first of four events of the Fed Ex Cup playoffs.
Aren't the playoffs at the end of the season usually? I only ask because there are PGA tour events after these next four. I think this confused me last week when I said there were whatever number I said and I don't remember but it was not four it was around seven that was a part of the Fed Ex Cup. Vijah Singh was the winner at this tournament last year. They may need a truck to carry the money they win home. I don't know the exact amount though.  I think in the first tournament in the Fed Ex Cup it is around a million dollars and the money keeps getting bigger after each tournament. The winner of the Cup does win $10,000,000 for their retirement fund but it is not counted as part of player's money with regards to the money list. The golfer can not take the money out of the fund until they are 45 I believe. They are playing in Harrison New York which is just north on the mainland of a long island in eastern New York.  I will put an explanation of the Fed Ex Cup at the end of the thread but it kind of confused me at first. There is one thing I have to do first though. How the PGA supposed to have a playoff and Tiger is not even playing?

I hope this answers at least some questions except for how many points does Tiger get if he is not even playing in the first tournament?
FedExplanation: Understanding the Cup By GOLFCHANNEL.com Team - August 21, 2007 FedExCupThe PGA TOUR enters uncharted waters this week, as the first of four PGA TOUR playoff events gets underway. The Barclays Classic at Westchester Country Club will commence the TOUR’s inaugural FedExCup playoffs. The series will include four tournaments, culminating with the TOUR Championship. The player with the most points accumulated after the Atlanta conclusion will be awarded a $10 million bonus, which is deferred to their retirement fund (which can't be accessed until they turn 45) and does not count on the Official Money List. One-hundred and 44 players, who qualified via a season-long points list, will compete in the Barclays. The field size will be reduced to 120 for next week’s Deutsche Bank Championship in Boston. Event No. 3, the BMW Championship outside of Chicago, will have 70 participants. And the finale, the TOUR Championship, will be cut down to the final 30 points earners. Points are not carried over from the “regular” season. Instead, each player’s year-long points total determines where he is positioned entering the playoffs. For instance: Tiger Woods led the season-long FedExCup points list. He falls into the No. 1 position entering the playoffs, with a starting total of 100,000 points. Vijay Singh, No. 2 in the season standings, is No. 2 entering the playoffs with 99,000. Here is a breakdown of where the top 10 players, as well as some notables, stand heading into the Barclays: FedExCup Positioning 1. Tiger Woods 100,000 2. Vijay Singh 99,000 3. Jim Furyk 98,500 4. Phil Mickelson 98,000 5. K.J. Choi 97,500 6. Rory Sabbatini 97,250 7. Zach Johnson 97,000 8. Charles Howell III 96,750 9. Brandt Snedeker 96,500 10. Adam Scott 96,250 30. Stuart Appleby 93,250 70. Sean O'Hair 90,250 120. Matthew Goggin 86,500 144. Jeff Gove 84,700 And here is how the points are distributed for the four playoff events: (Continued) Playoff Points Awarded First Three Events 1. 9,000 2. 5,400 3. 3,400 4. 2,400 5. 2,000 10. 1,350 30. 340 TOUR Championship 1. 10,300 2. 6,200 3. 3,900 4. 2,800 5. 2,300 10. 1,550 30. 395 Anyone inside the top 144 has a mathematical chance of winning; though, it won't be easy. In the TOUR's mock trial, no one higher than 13th won the Cup title. While the winner will receive $10 million, second place will net $3 million. Overall, $35 million is being paid out to the top 150 players on the points list (yes, even six players not in the Playoffs will get paid). Whomever finishes 144th is guaranteed at least $32,000. All monies earned via the FedExCup is in addition to what is earned from the event's purse. The winner of The Barclays will receive $1.26 million of official money, in addition to a big boost in claiming the $10 million prize. Link to story here
