(AP Photo / Mel Evans)The Tour Championship kicks off this Thursday at East Lake in Atlanta and someone will be going home 10 million dollars richer. With the new system this year, the point standings have been reset, allowing more players to have a legitimate chance this week.
The top five:
Tiger Woods - 2500 points
Tiger looks for his seventh win on tour this year and his second Fed Ex Cup title in the past three seasons.
Steve Stricker - 2250 points
Stricker has been consistent all year, and has grown accustomed to playing with Woods in pressure packed situations.
Jim Furyk - 2000 points
Certainly not a flashy player, he still seems to constantly be on the leader board. We shall see if his steady play can earn him a Fed Ex title.
Zach Johnson - 1800 points
Johnson will look for his biggest win since the 2007 Masters
Heath Slocum - 1600 points
Slocum started the playoffs in 193rd place but shocked everyone by winning at the Barclays. He proved he can handle the pressure by sinking a 20 foot par putt at the eighteenth hole to win and avoid a five man playoff.
