Team Nationwide members Brandt Snedeker and Boo Weekley didn't finish up the PGA TOUR Playoff for the FedExCup quite as strongly as they had hoped, but both can be proud to have finished the inaugural FedExCup season in the top 25.

Snedeker finished 20th in the standings after tying for 29th at THE TOUR Championship presented by Coca-Cola on Sunday. He never quite got untracked on an East Lake course not in its best shape, and carded rounds of 71-72-68-71 for a 2-over 282 total, and finished the Playoffs with 97,907 points.

Weekley had a similar experience, posting scores of 70-67-68-71for a 4-under 276 total. He amassed 96,399 points to wind up 25th in the FedExCup final standings.

Both players remain eligible to play in the remaining Fall Series events over the next two months, but neither needs to. Both are exempt on the PGA TOUR through the 2009 season after their respective victories earlier this season -- Weekley at the Verizon Heritage in April and Snedeker at the Wyndham Championship in August.

Next up for many of the Team Nationwide players is the seven-event Fall Series in which they and the rest of the players on the PGA TOUR will be trying to earn enough money to keep their playing privileges for the 208 season. The top 125 players on the money list at the end of the Fall Series -- the final event is the Children's Miracle Network Classic presented by Wal-Mart at Walt Disney World on Nov. 1-4 -- are fully exempt for 2008.
