PGA Tour Championship - FedExCup Down to Five Hopefuls

Just 30 golfers are set to play in the PGA's Tour Championship, which will tee off Thursday at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.

Of those 30, only five have a shot at the $10 million bonus that goes with winning the FedExCup. Those five golfers are Tiger Woods, Steve Stricker, Phil Mickelson, Rory Sabbatini and K.J. Choi.

Woods, getting 3/2 odds to win the Tour Championship, won the BMW Championship on Sunday to reclaim the top spot in the FedExCup rankings

If Woods wins the Tour Championship, he wins the FedExCup. The same goes for Stricker. The rest need help in the form of their competitors placing down the leaderboard.

For Woods, however, the math is a moot point.

"You just go play," said Woods. "You try and win the golf tournament. As I've always said, winning takes care of everything, so you don't have to worry about it if you win."
