»» Players #1 thru #7 ........ JUST WIN, BABY! »» Players #8 thru #29 Combination of winning Tour Championship (10,000 pts) -AND- Rory McIlroy finishing no better than solo 3rd (4,200 pts) »» Player #30, Scott Piercy If Piercy wins the Tour Championship (10,000 pts) -AND- Rory McIlroy finishes right at solo 3rd (4,200 pts) -THEN- Both players would be -TIED- for first in the Fed Ex Cup standings with identical 11,499-point totals. This scenario would necessitate a three-hole aggregate score playoff for the 2012 Fed Ex Cup title. If both players are tied after three holes, then the play-off becomes sudden-death, continuing on until one player is able to win a hole outright. -OTHERWISE- A better McIlroy finish gives him the Fed Ex Cup title, while a worse finish for McIlroy would give Piercy the Fed Ex Cup title. |

3 .. The 2012 Tour Championship: Actual results, plus alternative points Rory McIlroy, the #1 points leader (normal, non-reset), could not seize the moment in the final round, finishing well out of the Top Five for the tournament, and so the "X Chase" became wide open for everyone else. #5 Brandt Snedeker, largely aided by a 3rd round 64, scored a 3-stroke victory, winning both the tournament and the Fed Ex Cup. PURSE: $ 8,000,000 1st Prize: $ 1,440,000 No-Cut Field of 30 30 of 30 finishers |
