  • Zach Johnson has a chance at winning three tournaments this year in the state of Georgia when he tees it up this week at THE TOUR Championship presented by Coca-Cola. Earlier this year, he won the Masters Tournament and the AT&T Classic. If he does so, he'll be the first TOUR player to win three events in the same state in the same season since Tom Watson captured three titles in California in 1980. Also worth a mention: Johnson's only other TOUR victory was, again, in Georgia. He won the 2004 AT&T Classic there in 2004.

  • More on Johnson: If he wins this week, he'll have two wins this season in Atlanta. The last player to win two events in the same city in the same year was Tiger Woods who won twice in San Diego in 2003. By the way, Phil Mickelson won twice in Atlanta back in 2000.

  • Only two players have recorded Top-10 finishes in each of the three PGA TOUR Playoff events Steve Stricker and Rory Sabbatini.

  • This week's field for the final PGA TOUR Playoff event for the FedExCup features 30 players who hail from nine countries. There's one rookie (Brandt Snedeker) and 24 players ranked among the Top 50 in the Official World Golf Ranking, including the top 13 players.

  • There are eight first-time participants in this week's TOUR Championship Aaron Baddeley, Jonathan Byrd, Hunter Mahan, Justin Rose, Heath Slocum, Brandt Snedeker, Camilo Villegas and Boo Weekley.

  • With his victory last week at the BMW Championship, Tiger Woods now has seven tournaments that he's won at least four times each. He has six wins each at the World Golf Championships-CA Championship and Bridgestone Invitational. He has five wins at the Buick Invitational and four each at the PGA Championship, Masters, Arnold Palmer Invitational and BMW Championship.

  • More on Tiger: He has six wins this season, marking the fifth time in his career he's had at least that many wins in one year. Only Sam Snead, who won six or more events in a year six times, has done it more.

  • The top four players entering this week's TOUR Championship presented by Coca-Cola Tiger Woods, Steve Stricker, Phil Mickelson and Rory Sabbatini finished in exactly that order earlier this year at the Wachovia Championship.
