Phil Mickelson has set the bar high in the second FedEx Cup playoff event of the year. That’s because he fired a 63 in the opening round of the Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston and that has given him the top spot on the leaderboard. Tiger Woods wants the championship himself, and he fired a solid 68, but he has a lot of ground to make up if he is going to catch Phil. Adam Scott, the Masters...

No. 2 with a bullet. That’s where Adam Scott stands in the World Golf Rankings after pulling off a remarkable victory at The Barclays Sunday in Jersey City, N.J., the first of the FedEx Cup playoff tournaments. Scott was just an also-ran at Liberty National Golf Course when the final round began. He was stuck in a large pack of near-contenders at six under par. Matt Kuchar and Gary Woodland held...

The final round of The Barclays proved to be a war of attrition. At the start of the round, it looked like Matt Kuchar or Gary Woodland would find a way to win the first FedEx Cup playoff event. But in the end, it was Masters champion Adam Scott who got the job done. Scott played well all week, but he found his putting stroke in the final round and that allowed him to shoot 66 and finish at 11-under-par. Woodland...

Tiger Woods is fighting, clawing and scratching to earn his sixth championship of the year at The Barclays. He is a long way from getting that title. He is four strokes behind co-leaders Matt Kuchar and Gary Woodland. He also trails red-hot Kevin Chappell by three strokes. Throughout his spectacular career, Tiger has picked up most of his 79 career victories by getting out in front of the field and...

Kuchar had the lead at the start of the round, but Woodland took command when he ran out four consecutive birdies to close the front nine. Kuchar rebounded nicely with a solid back nine. The two are at the top of the leaderboard heading into the final round, tied for first place with scores of 12-under-par. The story of...

Tiger Woods came into the first round of The Barclays hoping to put his imprint on the first FedEx Cup playoff tournament. Tiger plays best when he either has or is close to the lead. So far, so good. While Tiger’s round was delayed twice by rain, he came through with a four-under-par 67 in the first round. Although he’s not in the lead, he’s close enough to the leaders that it looks...

The FedEx Cup has grown in stature every year since it came into existence in 2007. It’s designed as an end-of-season series of tournaments to define an overall champion of the golf season. It makes plenty of sense and follows the lead of major North American team sports by using a playoff system to declare its champion. However, there is one small difference between winning the FedEx Cup and winning...

The FedEx Cup playoffs have only been around since 2007, but the event has grown in stature every year. Borrowing from the major sports, golf authorities decided that an end-of-year playoff system would be a logical and exciting way to decide that season’s champion. While the FedEx Cup does not carry the stature of golf’s major events, the four playoff events—The Barclays, Deutsche...

The favorites don’t always win in golf, especially in the biggest tournaments of the year. There were three first-time winners in the majors this year, and the FedEx Cup playoffs are not necessarily going to belong to stars like Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Matt Kuchar or Brandt Snedeker, either. There are several dark horses beneath the top four in the FedEx Cup standings who will have a chance...
