To make an impact in the FedExCup points race, it helps to be the guy holding the trophy on Sunday afternoon. But even if you aren't winning PGA TOUR events, producing solid performances each time you tee it up will help you rise in the standings.

So which players are making the most of their FedExCup points opportunities?

By taking a player's actual FedExCup points won and dividing it by the maximum number he could have won in the starts he's made on TOUR this year, we've calculated a player's FEC percentage.

For instance, despite coming up short at the PGA Championship, Tiger Woods has won more than 52 percent of all the possible points he could have won in his 13 starts this season. Meanwhile, the 200th name on this list, Brendon Todd, has won just under two percent of his possible FedExCup points in 2009.

Here are the top 200 players going into this week's final regular-season event, the Wyndham Championship, who are getting the most out of their potential FedExCup points this season.
