Take a look at some of the FedExCup effects from last year's Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.

• Charley Hoffman's 4,500 point win last year at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic comprised 76 percent of his regular season total of 5,941, good enough for a 46 seed.

John Rollins benefited from the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic.

• John Rollins obtained 28 percent of his total 2007 PGA TOUR Regular Season points at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic last year with his second-place finish. His total of 9,708 made him the 16th seed in the Playoffs.

• Without those second-place points last year, Rollins would have dropped from 16th seed to 26th.

• Several other players helped their seeding significantly at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic:

→ Scott Verplank was the 11th seed. Without his tie for eighth in the desert, he would have dropped to 26th.
→ Heath Slocum was the 29th seed. Without his tie for fourth at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic, he would have dropped to 44th.
→ Jeff Quinney was the 41st seed. Without his share of fourth, he would have dropped to 55th.

• By the end of the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic last year, Robert Allenby had 1,425 points, 19 percent of his season-long total. He has none so far this year.

• Boo Weekley played the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic last year but missed the cut. With a top-three finish in the event, he would have been a top-10 seed in the Playoffs. (He was 17th.)

• Woody Austin played the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic last year and finished tied for 53rd. If he had managed a top-three finish instead, he would have moved up to the eighth seed from 14th.

• The regular season-ending point total for 70th place in 2007 was 4,580, meaning a win at the Bob Hope Chrysler Classic would virtually lock up a spot in the Top 70.
