Predicting who will win the FedEx Cup is tricky business. 

Thanks to points reshuffles, a complex scoring system and increased point totals during the playoffs, the FedEx Cup is (by design) a wide-open race until the Tour Championship, where every player in the 30-man field theoretically ought to have a chance to win the Cup.

An example: Few predicted Billy Horschel, who had done little all year, would win two playoff events to take the title. 

Thus, don't count out players such as Patrick Reed (9), Justin Rose (15), Hideki Matsuyama (16), Brooks Koepka (17), Rickie Fowler (24) and others. 

So, how do we rate the contenders? We take a look at the strength of recent play and past performances at the big tournaments left on the docket after this week: the WGC-Bridgestone Invitational, the PGA Championship, which was played at Whistling Straits in 2010, and the FedEx Cup playoff events.

The Barclays is being contested at a new venue this year, so past performance is no help, but the BMW Championship was held at Conway Farms in 2013, so we can look to performance there. The Deutsche Bank Championship and the Tour Championship are both at their traditional venues, of course. 

With that said, click through for the rundown.
