Tour Championship

Agree that this is a great tournament to watch. The course is compact sou you can get around pretty quickly, except for a couple of bottlenecks. The gallery is not as large as it is at other tournaments as well.

If you live in Atlanta and have a choice between attending this tournament or that abortion up at Sugarloaf, you choose this one every time.
 
...and gives it back on 4. It looks like he 3-putted from 4 feet according to the Shot Tracker at PGATour.com
 
This is a good chart with the FedEx Cup scenarios:

Or if you want to do your own math,

Points coming in (The points reset to a pre-determined amount after last week. This is the second year of this system, and I like it. It's not "fair" to a dominant golfer, but much better for the fans. I think the year Vijay Singh just needed to finish all 72 holes of the Tour Championship to win the FedEx Cup spurred this change):

Webb Simpson - 2,500
Dustin Johnson - 2,250
Justin Rose - 2,000
Luke Donald - 1,800
Matt Kuchar - 1,600
Brandt Snedeker - 1,400
Nick Watney - 1,200
Chez Reavie - 1,000
John Senden - 800
Jason Day - 600
Gary Woodland - 480
Steve Stricker - 460
K.J. Choi - 440
Phil Mickelson - 420
Mark Wilson - 400
David Toms - 380
Jonathan Byrd - 360
Bubba Watson - 340
Adam Scott - 320
Keegan Bradley - 310
Hunter Mahan - 300
Jason Dufner - 290
Vijay Singh - 280
Geoff Ogilvy - 270
Bill Haas - 260
Charles Howell III - 250
Aaron Baddeley - 240
Y.E. Yang - 230
Fredrik Jacobson - 220
Bo Van Pelt - 210

Points for this event:

1st Place - 2,500
2nd - 1,500
3rd - 1,000
4th - 750
5th - 550
6th - 500
7th - 450
8th - 425
9th - 400
10th - 375
11th - 350
12th - 325
13th - 300
14th - 285
15th - 280
16th - 275
.
subtract 5 for each spot
.
30th - 205

So any of the Top 5 coming in are guaranteed the FedEx Cup with a win here.

.
subtract $5,000 for each spot
.
30th - 175,000

Other finishers also got money. There was a slight decrease for each spot all the way down to 54th place, 55th-70th got $110,000, 71st-80th got $80,000, 81st-100th got $75,000, 101st-125th got $70,000, and 126th-150th (these guys didn't even make the playoffs) got $32,000. $35,000,000 total payout.

Come on down son. I am sure deepdish has an extra.
 
Thanks for posting that UMTerp. Is a little strange that people get $ down to #150.

I think the last place finisher in this tournament gets about $125,000.

That's nuts to think Webb could have a putt Sunday on #18 not to win the tournament, but to win the FedEx Cup. A $7,000,000 putt.
 
The Deacon Curse shows up again. Come on Webb.
 
Justin Rose in an even bigger freefall +6 today (playing with Webb?)

Who does Webb actually have to beat to win it all?

It depends who wins. Look at the numbers I posted earlier in the thread - it's a little complicated. Taking two random scenarios from guys near the top of the leaderboard right now:

If Adam Scott wins the tournament, for Webb to win the Cup:
- Webb would have to finish solo 12th or better.
And if Webb finished 12th exactly,
- Johnson would have to finish 5th or worse
- Rose would have to finish 4th or worse
- Donald would have to finish 3rd or worse
- Kuchar would have to finish 3rd or worse
- Snedeker would have to finish T-2nd or worse
And the better Webb finished, the better Johnson, Rose, etc. would have to do to beat him obv.

If Jason Day wins the tournament, for Webb to win the Cup:
- Webb would have to finish 4th or better, plus a bunch of other stuff.

Simpson just went birdie-eagle to get back in the red!
