Well as of right now, the PGA Live Points Projection looks like this for the top 10. By the looks of things, the projections show that Tiger & Stricker are the two at the top of the pack after this tournament. There's lots of guys who have been hot here in the playoffs, so it's really hard to tell who will come through next week. What do you think?

Keep in mind that while Tiger and Stricker will have a huge advantage if they stay #1 and #2 going into the tour championship, because the points are being reset before the last event, all players have a mathematical chance to win. The top five will all win if they win the tour championship, and 30 could win…but only if everyone else completely throws up on themselves.
Good point Ken. Did they reset the points prior to the last event last year, or is that new for 2009? I swear it feels like you need a magic decoder ring to figure out the Fedex points system.

they did reset the points but it was alot different from the way they have done it this year
Agree with Ken points, Tiger and Stricker both are the backbone of the Golf after all. we can’t trust to other players in such a critical conditions.
