SEASON IN REVIEW: The high point of McIlroy's season would have to be his eight-stroke triumph at the PGA Championship, which was his second major and returned him to No. 1 in the world. But his performance so far in the Playoffs has been equally impressive as he picked up his third and fourth wins of the season at the Deutsche Bank Championship and BMW Championship -- holding off an all-star cast that included the likes of Louis Oosthuizen and Tiger Woods at the first and Phil Mickelson and Lee Westwood at the second. Long forgotten in that late season surge were those three missed cuts in four starts after he lost in a playoff at the Wells Fargo Championship that had tongues wagging and pundits questioning McIlroy's desire. -- Helen Ross

ALBERS’ QUICK TAKE: Fred Albers, on-course correspondent for SiriusXM PGA TOUR Radio, provides a quick look at McIlroy:
The best player in the world right now. Probably the Player of the Year on the PGA TOUR. He creates so much torque in his swing with a complete turn and lag. He may not win the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola but has to be the favorite.
