Adam Scott's impressive performance to start the FedEx Cup playoffs at The Barclays this past weekend elevated him to No. 2 in the world rankings and second in the Cup standings heading to TPC Boston for the Deutsche Bank Championship this week.

More importantly, the two-time FedEx Cup winner is currently in first place in the standings. 

Woods has earned more than $8.2 million this season and is the first player to 4,000 FedEx Cup points on the season. Unfortunately, he hasn't won one of the four FedEx Cup playoff tournaments since the 2009 BMW Championship.
