Any of the top five players in the points standings — Tiger Woods, Steve Stricker, Jim Furyk, Zach Johnson and Heath Slocum — control their own destiny and can claim the FedEx Cup title with a win in the Tour Championship. The remaining 25 players can still win the FedEx Cup crown, but they'll need to win the Tour Championship, plus get help from the players at the top of points standings. Sixth-place Padraig Harrington also can win the FedEx Cup title without winning this week, but he can finish no lower than second in order to claim the crown. Below are the scenarios for all 30 golfers and how they can claim the FedEx Cup championship this week. They are listed in order of their current FedEx Cup reset point totals (players were given new point totals after the BMW Championship.)
