Deutsche Bank U.S. Championship

This week the US PGA Tour is kicking off the FedEx Playoffs with the Deutsche Bank U.S. Championship.

Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the Deutsche Bank U.S. Championship.

# Player CLi 
1  Tiger Woods 2.95
2  Adam Scott 5.50
3  Jim Furyk 6.50
4  Jason Dufner 7.40
5  Steve Stricker 8.75
6  Zach Johnson 15.65
7  Dustin Johnson 15.85
8  Webb Simpson 16.30
9  Rory McIlroy 18.55
10  Phil Mickelson 20.55
11  Matt Kuchar 20.70
12  Brendan Steele 21.60
13  Bryce Molder 22.70
14  Keegan Bradley 23.50
15  Jerry Kelly 24.70

I am going to stick with the top 5 players in the CLi rankings.  This week the top 5 players have CLi figures below 10, which is a good sign that the CLi has a better indication of who has the highest probability of playing well.

Below are my 5 picks for the Deutsche Bank U.S. Championship:
