What is the FedEx Cup?

From the Mercedes-Benz Championship (January 4-7, 2007) to the Wyndham Championship (August 16-19, 2007), PGA Tour players can earn points in each event they play. The ultimate goal is to be among the Top 144 Points Leaders following the Wyndham Championship. Only those players who are regular full-time members of the PGA Tour will earn points. A non-member who joins the PGA Tour in mid-season will be eligible to earn points in the first event he plays after officially joining the Tour.

After the Wyndham Championship, points for all eligible players are reset. With this scale, the first place regular season points leader will get 100,000 points, second place will receive 99,000, and then a sliding scale through 144th place receiving 84,700 points. The top 144 players will advance to the playoffs. The points on the reset scale will carry over into the playoffs. This is the equivalent of “seeding” as players who have performed better during the regular season will more likely advance past the first tournament in the playoffs.

Cal on June 4th, 2007

After sharing the lead, and being well in contention at the end of Day 2, Brett Rumford basically bombed out as can be seen below. A wet course made for soft and receptive greens, but the Australians just couldn’t take advantage of the conditions.
