]]> The second annual FedExCup PGA playoffs begin this week with The Barclay’s Tournament in Paramus, New Jersey. The FedExCup spans four tournaments and rewards the top finishers with an extra bonus of up to $10 million. The FedExCup period this year spans five weeks instead of four as the Ryder Cup event falls within September and is not a part of the playoff event.

Beginning the playoffs, the top ten players are:

  1. Tiger Woods
  2. Kenny Perry
  3. Phil Mickelson
  4. Padraig Harrington
  5. Anthony Kim
  6. Stewart Cink
  7. Vijay Singh
  8. Justin Leonard
  9. Ryuji Imada
  10. Geoff Ogilvy

Of course, Woods will not be competing in any of the FedExCup events due to his having knee surgery earlier in the season.

For a detailed look at the PGA Playoffs, see this Fedexplanation from the writers at the Golf Channel.
