All times are Central

Camilo Villegas, Jim Furyk, Anthony Kim
Tee time: 12 noon
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 15
Why you should watch: This is a no-brainer. Villegas has led at the end of every round this week, and, as always, he is searching for his breakthrough win on TOUR. Add to the the fact that he's a Playoffs powerhouse (despite a missed cut at The Barclays), and you've got a guy you can't take your eyes off of. Furyk has had a heck of a year for a guy who hasn't won yet, but he's not going to settle for great finishes; he wants a win. He starts the final round only one shot off the lead after catching Villegas with a 62 and a 66 on Saturday. He's one threat for the lead that Villegas should take seriously. Kim has quietly crept up the leaderboard this week with a 68, a 67 and a 66 to slink in three shots behind Furyk. The two-time winner in 2008 has a big shot deficit to make up in the final round, but if anyone can do it, he can.

Tim Clark, Brian Gay, K.J. Choi
Tee time: 11:50 a.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 7
Why you should watch: Don't forget how close Clark came to the magical 59 just last week at the Deutsche Bank Championship. He fizzled out a little after that, but he's back in the mix again this week tied with Kim at 9 under. Wouldn't he love to get his first win in the middle of the Playoffs? Gay broke through with his first TOUR win earlier this year and has had three top 10s and three top 25s since then -- all in all, a great year for Gay. Can he hone in on a second win? Who knows, but he has a four-shot deficit to overcome if he wants to try. Just one shot behind Gay and Clark sits K.J. Choi, who fired out the best round on Saturday with a 6-under 64. He's five shots off the lead, but if he can pull off a win this week, he'll put himself in contention for the FedExCup. Vijay Singh would need to finish fourth or better to eliminate Choi from the Cup, and that's not going to happen.

Tim Herron, Sergio Garcia, Lucas Glover
Tee time: 11:10 a.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 12
Why you should watch: Tim Herron hasn't lost momentum since playing his way into the BMW Championship last week at TPC Boston. If not for his 1-over 71 in the second round, Herron might be even better than his current 6-under par for the tournament. He's going to need to channel the player in him that shot the first-round 66, not the second-round 71, if he wants to advance to next week, though. At the start of the final round, he's projected to finish 38th in FedExCup standings -- not good enough to go to Atlanta. Garcia needs to pull out the round of his life on Sunday if he wants to challenge Singh for the FedExCup. The Spaniard is second in points standings, but he's 12,225 points behind Singh. It's a big day for Garcia. Lucas Glover has had a strong showing at the BMW Championship, but he entered the field 62nd in the standings and, at the start of the final round, is projected to move only up to 55th, so he won't be making THE TOUR Championship field. Still, why not go out on a high note?
