The PGA Tour’s FedeExCup playoffs begin this week with the first postseason event, The Barclays, in Farmingdale, New York. Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy, won the PGA Championship less than two weeks ago, are the co-favorites to win the Barclays. Tiger finished first in the regular season FedExCup standings, but Rory is Number One in the Official World Golf Rankings.

The man with the best chance of challenging Tiger and Rory, according to the oddsmakers anyway, is England’s Justin Rose. Dustin Johnson will be back to defend after winning here last year, and other past winners in the field include Matt Kuchar, Steve Stricker and Sergio Garcia, who won the final PGA Tour regular season tournament on Monday.
