With a field of only 30 for the final of the FedEx Cup playoffs, it may be the one golf event that you can actually pick the winner.

With the Ryder Cup just around the corner, one has to wonder just how the U.S. team is going to go about defending the cup.

If the year of 2010 has taught golf fans anything, it is that great golfers and cutting-edge technology can take the bite out of just about any golf course. Can you ever remember a year when more winning scores were in the 20 under range? Or lower? How many guys shot 62s and 63s throughout the year. Heck, there was even a couple of 59s. Yet, despite the PGA professionals assaulting American golf courses...
