How to Win the FedExCup

Today is just a hyperlink to golfchannel.Com's precis of ways each participant on this week's Tour Championship can win the FedExCup. (Obviously in case you need to win the Tour Championship itself... Nicely, you just shoot lower than every body else. Duh!)

Points leader Bryson DeChambeau has the perfect course, of route. All he has to do is win the Tour Championship and he is taking all of it. But mathematically he can finish as little as T29 and nonetheless win the $10mil FedExCup. It just depends on how the other men play. (Bear in mind that the simplest way he has no chance in any respect to win the Cup is if he finishes on my own in 30th place. I'd call that not going.)

But as simple as Bryson's road is, Patton Kissire's road is complex.

• Wins the Tour Championship and ...
• DeChambeau finishes in two-way tie for 29th or worse
• Rose finishes T-9 or worse
• Finau finishes in three-way tie for 3rd or worse
• D. Johnson finishes 3rd or worse
• Thomas finishes in three-way tie for 2nd or worse
• Bradley finishes T-2 or worse
• Koepka finishes T-2 or worse

That's tricky but not impossible. Still, I like Bryson's odds better.
