TOUR Championship

This week the US PGA Tour is in Atlanta to play a limited field tournament (30 players), TOUR Championship. The tournament is the last tournament in the FedEx Playoff series.

Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the TOUR Championship.

# Player CLi 
1 Luke Donald  5.05
2 Justin Rose  5.35
3 John Senden  6.90
4 Adam Scott  9.00
5 Vijay Singh  10.40
6 Nick Watney  10.90
7 Phil Mickelson  11.55
8 Geoff Ogilvy  11.85
9 Brandt Snedeker  12.55
10 Hunter Mahan  12.60
11 Matt Kuchar  12.85
12 Jason Day  12.90
13 Jonathan Byrd  14.95
14 Charles Howell III  15.35
15 David Toms  15.45

I am going to stick with the top 4 players in the CLi rankings: Donald (analysis), Rose (analysis), Senden (analysis), and Scott (analysis).

Then I am going to skip down to Mickelson (analysis) and pick him. He loves playing in Georgia, and hopefully the last tournament in the FedEx Playoff series will inspire him to make some putts and score well.

Below are my 5 picks for the TOUR Championship :
