Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods, Nick Watney, Phil Mickelson and Brandt Snedeker round out the top five in the current points standings. Those golfers are guaranteed the FedExCup title with a win this weekend, while the other 25 golfers in the field will need to win the tournament and hope the standings shake out to their advantage. The odds toward the bottom of the field are pretty long.

McIlroy enters this final event not only in the points lead, but coming off back-to-back tournament wins. With the way he's been playing since the playoffs got underway, he's definitely one of the favorites to claim the FedExCup. With Tiger Woods right behind him in the standings and plenty of talented players within striking distance, it won't be easy.
