The winner of the Tour Championship stands a good chance of winning the FedEx Cup - is guaranteed to win the FedEx Cup if he's in the Top 5 right now (which means Matt Kuchar, Dustin Johnson, Charley Hoffman, Steve Stricker and Paul Casey) - and the winner might also determine the PGA Tour's Player of the Year race.
And it's possible that Charley Hoffman, a guy who failed to qualify for a single major in 2010, could walk away as FedEx Cup champ. Is that a bad thing? Is that a sign of major problems in the FedEx Cup structure?
Well, they do call these "playoffs," and odd things happen in playoffs sometimes. Favorites get knocked out, lower-ranked players force their way into the conversation.
So guys like Hoffman, Martin Laird and Kevin Streelman are at the Tour Championship, while guys like Rickie Fowler, Rory McIlroy, Stewart Cink, Ian Poulter, J.B. Holmes - and some guy named Tiger - aren't.
