Below is information on each player, his record in the FedExCup Playoffs and what it will takes for him to win the
FedExCup. For the “To win the FedExCup” sections, the place positions are based points awarded for solo
finishes at the event. For example, “third or worse” means a finish of solo-third or any other position that awards
fewer points than a solo-third. Though additional scenarios exist for tie places where points are split between
positions, this provides a general framework for where players need to finish to win the FedExCup. Asterisks
denote a finish combination that results in a tie in the final FedExCup points standings, in which case the winner
will be decided in a sudden-death playoff immediately following completion of the TOUR Championship by
Coca-Cola.
Tiger Woods – No. 1
For the third time in his career, Tiger Woods enters the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola ranked No. 1 in the
FedExCup standings. In 2007 and 2009, he began the FedExCup Playoffs at the top of the standings and
reclaimed that spot heading to the Playoff Finale thanks to wins at the BMW Championship. He then ended
each season at No. 1 as well, making him the only multiple FedExCup champion in the series’ history. Woods
owns victories this season at the Farmers Insurance Open, World Golf Championships-Cadillac Championship,
Arnold Palmer Invitational presented by MasterCard, THE PLAYERS Championship and the World Golf
Championships-Bridgestone Invitational. With 79 career victories, he needs just three wins to tie Sam Snead
(82) for most victories in PGA TOUR history. Woods is a two-time winner of the TOUR Championship by CocaCola, with victories in 2007 and 1999. He has also finished second four times. Woods is one of four past
champions in the field (Phil Mickelson, Brandt Snedeker, Adam Scott).

Henrik Stenson – No. 2
The Swede will be teeing it up for the first time in his career at the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola. Henrik
Stenson, who won the Deutsche Bank Championship, the second event of the FedExCup Playoffs, had been
knocking on the door all season, including a runner-up finish at the Open Championship and a third-place finish
at the PGA Championship. The victory at the Deutsche Bank Championship pushed Stenson to No. 1 in the
FedExCup standings; he fell to No. 2 when Tiger Woods finished T11 at the Deutsche Bank Championship,
compared to his T33. Stenson is a three-time winner on the PGA TOUR with victories at the 2007 World Golf
Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship and the 2009 PLAYERS Championship. Stenson entered
the FedExCup Playoffs at No. 9 in the standings, a full 102 positions higher than his standing (117
and his highest ranking ever heading into golf’s postseason. Stenson is trying to become the first European
player to win the FedExCup in its seven-year history.

Adam Scott – No. 3
In one of the defining moments of the 2013 season, Adam Scott’s victory at the Masters Tournament – the firstever play a player from Australia – was capped by the dramatic roar of “C’mon Aussie.” Scott is one of five
multiple winners in 2013, recording multiple victories in a season for the second time in his career by winning
the Masters and The Barclays. Scott’s victory at The Barclays came in his 21
shot a final-round 66 and waited as several players had opportunities to match his score but fell short. He
entered the final round T13 and trailing Matt Kuchar and Gary Woodland by six strokes before a bogey-free, 5-
under 66 led to a one-stroke victory over Tiger Woods, Graham DeLaet, Gary Woodland and Justin Rose. It
marked the largest come-from-behind win in the 47-year history of The Barclays. Scott has played in the TOUR
Championship by Coca-Cola seven times, with a victory in 2006, the year before the start of the FedExCup.
Scott is one of four past champions in the field (Tiger Woods, Phil Mickelson, Brandt Snedeker).

No. 4 – Zach Johnson
Despite a sluggish start by his standards, Zach Johnson has come on strong at the right time, winning the BMW
Championship to move from No. 27 to No. 4 and qualifying for the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola for the
fifth time. After the first half of the season, Johnson was just inside the top 100 in the FedExCup. The sites of
his two wins last year pushed him forward to a second-half surge. He had a third-place finish at the Crowne
Plaza Invitational at Colonial and a playoff loss at the John Deere Classic. He parlayed that momentum into
four consecutive top-10 finishes, and then after skipping The Barclays to be the best man at his brother’s
wedding, Johnson rallied for a final-round 66 at the Deutsche Bank Championship to narrowly qualify for the
U.S. Presidents Cup Team and all but secure a spot back to East Lake. His 10
Championship moved him into prime position at the TOUR Championship , where he holds the course record of
60 (set in the third round in 2007).

Matt Kuchar is one of five multiple winners in 2013, recording multiple victories in a season for the first time in

Tournament presented by Nationwide Insurance. The Georgia Tech grad has been one of the most consistent
players on the PGA TOUR since 2009, with five of his six career wins and 41 top-10 finishes. In the first three
seasons of the FedExCup, Kuchar finished 92
stride in the competition, however, finishing a career-best second in 2010, sixth in 2011 and 18

last four years. In 2010, Kuchar arrived at East Lake No. 1 in the FedExCup standings after a victory at The
Barclays, while he was No. 5 in 2011 after a runner-up finish at The Barclays. He would go on to finish No. 2
and No. 6 in 2010 and 2011, respectively.

One of only three players to advance to the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola in each of the first seven years
of the FedExCup (Phil Mickelson, Hunter Mahan), Steve Stricker returns to East Lake Golf Club in search of his
first top 10 at the event since a sixth-place finish in 2009. Stricker proved this year that the quality of starts is
more important than the quantity when it comes to collecting FedExCup points. In a limited schedule this
season, Stricker still delivered seven top 10s, with two of those coming in the FedExCup Playoffs (T2 at the
Deutsche Bank Championship, which earned him an automatic berth on the U.S. Presidents Cup Team; T4 at
the BMW Championship). In 12 tournaments, Stricker’s worst finish was a T38. His strong performance
throughout the history of the FedExCup Playoffs has amassed some interesting records, such as the most sub-
70 round (59), which is nine more than his closest competitors – Jim Furyk and Phil Mickelson with 50.

in 2010. He has set career highs for top 25s (12) and top 10s (7), including a runner-up finish at The Barclays
and a third-place finish at the Deutsche Bank Championship. His two top-three finishes within the FedExCup
Playoffs vaulted him into seventh place in the points race and headed to the TOUR Championship presented by
Coca-Cola for the first time. DeLaet’s stellar play also helped him make the International Presidents Cup Team,
becoming only the second Canadian to compete in the event (Mike Weir).

In a season highlighted by his fifth major championship – The Open Championship – Phil Mickelson also

shoot 59 lipped out on the final hole. Mickelson also finished runner up at the U.S. Open (a record sixth runnerup finish at the event). Mickelson has won multiple events 14 times in his career. With wins in each of the last 10
seasons on the PGA TOUR, he owns the longest active streak. Mickelson has won at least one tournament in
20 different TOUR seasons, trailing only Sam Snead (24) and Jack Nicklaus (21). In 16 previous appearances,
he is a two-time winner of the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola (2000, 2009). Mickelson, Steve Stricker and
Hunter Mahan are the only three players to advance to the TOUR Championship in each of the first seven years
of the FedExCup.
Mickelson joins Tiger Woods (1999, 2007), Adam Scott (2006) and Brandt Snedeker (2012) as past TOUR

Brandt Snedeker – No. 10
Brandt Snedeker has experienced the ups and downs of the FedExCup. In 2007, Snedeker was voted PGA
TOUR Rookie of the Year after becoming the only rookie to advance to the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola
in the first year of the FedExCup (since then, five additional players have done so, including rookie Jordan
Spieth this year). But in 2009, his four-putt at the 72
TOUR Championship. Then in 2011, he shot 61 during the final round of The Barclays, allowing him to jump
from a T29 to T3 finish and moving him to No. 6 in the standings.
Last year, Snedeker entered the TOUR Championship at No. 5 in the standings and in control of his own
destiny. With his victory at the TOUR Championship, Snedeker became the fifth different player to win the
coveted FedExCup, joining Bill Haas-2011, Jim Furyk-2010, Tiger Woods-2009, 2007 and Vijay Singh-2008.
Snedeker is the first FedExCup champion to return to East Lake Golf Club for a chance to defend his title the
following year. Snedeker has recorded a career-high nine top-10 finishes, including wins at the AT&T Pebble
Beach National Pro-Am and the RBC Canadian Open, and a T8 at the BMW Championship leading into the
Playoffs Finale. He is tied with Bill Haas for most top-10 finishes on TOUR so far this season with nine.

in TOUR history to card that magical number. In the final group at this year’s PGA Championship, Furyk posted
a respectable 71 on Sunday, but finished in second place behind Jason Dufner. Furyk has six other top-10
finishes this season, including a T6 in the first Playoffs event, The Barclays, and a third-place finish at the BMW
Championship, which moved him from No. 15 in the standings to No. 11. This season will mark his sixth trip to
East Lake in the seven-year history of the FedExCup.

Jordan Spieth – No. 13
At 20 years, 1 month and 26 days as of Sunday’s final round at this year’s TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola,
Jordan Spieth is the youngest player to play in the event (Woods was 20 years, 9 months, 27 days on Sunday of
the 1996 tournament). Spieth started the 2013 season without status on the PGA TOUR. The 20-year-old from
the University of Texas began the year by playing in TOUR events via tournament sponsor exemptions with
hopes of earning enough money to gain his card for next season. A runner-up finish at the Puerto Rico Open
followed by a T7 at the Tampa Bay Championship put Spieth in good position to reach that goal. More top-10
finishes came at the RBC Heritage (T9), the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial (T7) and the AT&T National
(6).
Spieth then made history at the John Deere Classic when, at age 19 years, 11 months, 18 days, he became the
youngest winner on the PGA TOUR since Ralph Guldahl won the 1931 Santa Monica Open at age 19 years, 2
months, 4 days. Since 1900, Spieth is only the fourth player under age 20 to win on TOUR. The win was
highlighted by a holed 45-foot bunker shot on the 72nd hole to force sudden death with defending champion
Zach Johnson and David Hearn. With the win, he earned full membership on TOUR and became eligible for the
FedExCup Playoffs. He lost in a playoff two weeks later at the Wyndham Championship to finish T2, and his T4
at the Deutsche Bank Championship on Monday gave him his eighth top-10 finish of the season, which is tied
for third-most on TOUR, behind Bill Haas and Brandt Snedeker, who have nine.
He is the second player to start a PGA TOUR season with no status and reach the TOUR Championship by
Coca-Cola, joining Tiger Woods (1996), but Spieth is the first to do it in the FedExCup era. He will also the
youngest U.S. player to participate in The Presidents Cup, selected by U.S. Team Captain Fred Couples as one
of his two captain’s picks.

In 2013, Jason Day built on his reputation as a player who plays his best in the biggest tournaments. He posted

In 2013, Hunter Mahan has enjoyed one of the more interesting years of his career, not to mention his life.
Mahan joins Steve Stricker and Phil Mickelson as the only players to advance to the TOUR Championship by
Coca-Cola in each of the first seven years of the FedExCup. He had opportunities to win his first major
championship but settled for top-10 finishes in both the U.S. Open and Open Championship. He nearly
defended his World Golf Championships-Accenture Match Play Championship title, but lost in the finals to Matt
Kuchar. After capturing the 36-hole lead at the RBC Canadian Open, Mahan chose to withdraw to be with his
wife Kandi for the birth of their first child, Zoe. Returning two weeks later, Mahan picked up right where he left
off, posting top-25 finishes in each of the first three Playoff events to earn his spot in the TOUR Championship,
with a T4 finish at the BMW Championship moving him from No. 18 to No. 15 heading into the Playoffs Finale,
which ties with 2010 as his best rank headed to Atlanta (finished 18
in the FedExCup came in 2011 when he finished seventh, nearly winning the TOUR Championship in a
memorable playoff with eventual tournament and FedExCup champion Bill Haas.

Even though Keegan Bradley hasn’t won this season like he did his first two years on the PGA TOUR, he has
still enjoyed a successful campaign in 2013. At two tournaments where he had previously won (HP Byron
Nelson Championship and the World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational), Bradley posted secondplace finishes this year. In addition, he posted four consecutive top-10 finishes, beginning with the start of the
Southern Swing at The Honda Classic. He has never been outside the top 30 in the FedExCup standings since
a T4 to open the season at the Hyundai Tournament of Champions.

Gary Woodland – No. 17
This is the second time Gary Woodland has qualified for the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola. Last year,
Woodland struggled with his game and nagging injuries and didn’t qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs. This year,
Woodland rebounded with a victory at the Reno-Tahoe Open. He was able to take advantage of his prodigious
length in the altitude to amass the most points in the modified Stableford scoring format, although it was his
short game that carried him to victory; a chip in for birdie at the 14
was the difference. The victory gave him momentum heading into the FedExCup Playoffs, and Woodland
nearly won The Barclays, finishing just one shot behind Adam Scott. In the last two months, Woodland has
gone from being just inside the bubble to qualify for the Playoffs to a realistic opportunity to win the FedExCup.

Bill Haas – No. 18
Bill Haas won for the fourth consecutive season by claiming his fifth PGA TOUR victory at the AT&T National in
July. His season includes career-best numbers in top 10s (9) and top-25 finishes (15). One of four previous
winners of the FedExCup (2011) who have returned to East Lake this year (and are inside the top 20 in the
standings), Haas missed a chance to defend his title last year, finishing No. 32 following the BMW
Championship. Haas is the only winner of the FedExCup to win the trophy from outside of the top 20 at the
TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola. Haas was ranked No. 25 when he won the FedExCup in 2011, a victory
that included his memorable shot from the edge of the water on the second playoff hole (No. 17) against Hunter
Mahan. Haas’ par-saving up and down pushed the playoff to the 18
tournament and the FedExCup.

Kevin Streelman joined the PGA TOUR circle of champions this season with a win at the Tampa Bay
Championship. His impressive, bogey-free, weekend rounds of 65-67 delivered his first TOUR title. But he
didn’t rest on his laurels. He backed up his first victory with a third-place finish at the RBC Heritage and a tie for
second at THE PLAYERS Championship. He has posted a total of five top-10 finishes so far this season. This
year marks Streelman’s second trip to the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola.

Jason Dufner – No. 20
This season is a year of redemption for Jason Dufner. He celebrated a popular victory at the PGA
Championship at Oak Hill this August thanks to his spectacular ball-striking ability. It’s difficult to remember
another recent major champion who played in the final group and produced three kick-in birdies in the final
round en route to victory. Just two years prior, Dufner seemed to have the PGA Championship in hand until he
suffered a playoff defeat to Keegan Bradley. Although the major championship was also his first victory since
winning twice in May 2012, the streaky Dufner was trending in the right direction. He posted a pair of T4s at the
U.S. Open and World Golf Championships-Bridgestone Invitational leading up to the PGA Championship. He
has now qualified for the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola three consecutive seasons and four overall.

Although the 2012 U.S. Open champion has yet to win this year, Simpson has been a model of consistency. He
finished among the top 25 on 14 occasions, including four top 10s. He nearly won the RBC Heritage in a playoff
with Graeme McDowell, but saw his birdie try from off the green burn the edge of the cup and then get blown
away by fickle Calibogue Sound winds. He missed the comeback putt for par and had to settle for second
place. This is his third consecutive TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola start.

Billy Horschel – No. 22
Great things in golf were always expected from Billy Horschel, and he achieved great things on the PGA TOUR
in 2013. Horschel got off to a hot start by making his first eight cuts of the season. Then he nearly won the
Shell Houston Open, missing a playoff by one stroke. The next week, he finished tied for third at the Valero
Texas Open and posted a top 10 the following week at the RBC Heritage. So Horschel was red hot when he
teed it up at the Zurich Classic of New Orleans. In contention on Sunday again, Horschel blitzed TPC New
Orleans with a final-round 64 to win by one. His 25-footer for birdie and the emotional win was matched by at
least 25 fist pumps in celebration. Horschel followed up that victory with a chance to win the U.S. Open before
settling for a T4. He remained in the top five in the FedExCup standings for most of the second half of the
season en route to his first TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola appearance.

off to a torrid start in the United States with a T3 at his first event, the Northern Trust Open. Although has yet to
enter the winner’s circle on the PGA TOUR this year, he played well enough to post 13 top 25s in only 18 starts,
including another third-place finish at the HP Byron Nelson Championship. The 2011 Masters champ makes it

game began to come around when he startled the golf world with an opening-round, course-record-tying 63 at
THE PLAYERS Championship. He finished T19 at THE PLAYERS and backed that up with two more top-25
finishes. Then he posted the first two top-10 finishes of his career, including a runner up at AT&T National. At
the Deutsche Bank Championship, Castro was in the final group in the final round before falling back to finish
T9. He finished 15

Sergio Garcia – No. 25
Sergio Garcia has had an up-and-down season off the golf course, but he has played well week in and week

first four months of 2013 was a T17. He had a chance to win his second PLAYERS Championship, but rinsed
two balls in the water at the island 17
looked like Garcia might make it all the way to the winner’s circle. He blistered TPC Boston with remarkable
rounds of 65-64-65 to open a two-shot lead. However, he struggled home with a final-round 73 to finish tied for
fourth. Nonetheless, Garcia’s steady play throughout the season has him back at East Lake for the fourth time
in his career. He finished second here in 2008 after a playoff loss to Camilo Villegas, which led him to his
career-best FedExCup finish (third).

There were signs in March that Boo Weekley was making a comeback to the upper echelon of TOUR players
when he fired a final-round 63 at the challenging Copperhead Course at Innisbrook to finish second at the
Tampa Bay Championship. Two months later at the Crowne Plaza Invitational at Colonial, Weekley’s superior
ball striking delivered four rounds in the 60s and his first PGA TOUR title in five years. Weekley qualified for the
first two editions of the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola in the FedExCup era, but he didn’t finish within the
top 100 in points each of the last three seasons (including falling as far as 180
again, Weekley shot four rounds under par at the Deutsche Bank Championship en route to a return trip to East
Lake.

the season. The Zimbabwe native leads the PGA TOUR with 384 birdies. No wonder compatriot and
International Team Captain Nick Price chose him as one of his captain’s picks for The Presidents Cup this
October. This will be de Jonge’s first TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola start.

thanks largely to his victory at the Shell Houston Open and a runner-up finish at the Zurich Classic of New
Orleans. In Houston, Points needed to make a par putt of 13’ 5” in the setting sun, and he relied on a putter
he’d originally “borrowed” from his mother from his junior golf days. He and the putter came through in the
clutch, and he won his second career victory by one shot. A T6 at The Barclays helped him earn a trip to East
Lake.

Luke Donald waited until the last moment to secure his place in the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola, but it

more than 10 years, dating back to his collegiate career at Northwestern. Donald entered the event ranked No.
54 and in serious danger of missing the FedExCup finale for the first time since 2003. He carded rounds of 70-
70-67-66 to post a T4 finish, his fifth top-10 of the season, and become one of only two players to jump from
outside the top 30 into the TOUR Championship field (Nick Watney). Donad has finished in the top 10 of the
final FedExCup standings three of the four times in which he’s made it to Atlanta.

Nobody got off to a better start this season than Dustin Johnson. He won the season-opening Hyundai
Tournament of Champions by four strokes. The wind-ravaged tournament in Hawaii was reduced to 54 holes,
and, coincidentally, Johnson has won each of the last three weather-shortened events on the PGA TOUR
(2011-The Barclays; 2009-AT&T Pebble Beach National Pro-Am). Johnson also contended at the RBC
Canadian Open, but had to settle for a tie for second. This is his sixth consecutive season with at least one
victory (Phil Mickelson is the only other player who can make that claim), and he is back at the TOUR
Championship by Coca-Cola for the fifth straight time.
