text size

The field is now set for THE TOUR Championship presented by Coca-Cola, the final event in the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup. Over the course of the Playoffs, the FedExCup points standings shifted dramatically.

Below is a summary of the movement in the standings:

• Two players moved in and out of the top 30 at the BMW Championship:

Played in:
Dudley Hart (67th to 14th )
D.J. Trahan (35th to 25th )

Played out:
Geoff Ogilvy (30th to 32nd )
Brandt Snedeker (29th to 34th )

• Ten players moved in and out of the top 30 from the Barclays through the BMW Championship:

• Through the 2008 BMW Championship, 107 players have moved more than 10 positions up or down since the Barclays. In the 2007 Playoffs (through THE TOUR Championship), only 14 players moved more than 10 positions.

• Although Vijay Singh has clinched the 2008 FedExCup title, there is still much to compete for. Consider that second place will pay $3,000,000 and tenth will play $500,000 -- a difference of $2,500,000.
