Below is the list of the top 15 players in the CLi rankings for the BMW Championship.
As with the last tournament, the Deutsche Bank U.S. Championship, the top 5 players have CLi figures below 10 -- the 6th player even has a CLi of 10, which makes it difficult to pass up on that player (Adam Scott). This is a good sign that the CLi has a good indication of who has the highest probability of playing well. However, I am still going to stick with the top 5 players in the CLi rankings.
Furyk (analysis) hasn't finished worse than 22nd in this event since 2003, with an average rank of 8.0. He won the event in 2005, and finished 2nd and 3rd in 2009 and 2008 respectively. He finished 9th in the event last year. Since the beginning of August, Furyk has played in 4 tournaments, and finished in the top 10 in 3 of them: 6th - Barclays Classic, 2nd - PGA Championship, and 9th - Bridgestone Invitational. He finished 22nd in the other tournament -- the Deutsch U.S. Bank Championship.
Woods (analysis) might not be playing up to par compared to what the media compares him to. However, his results have been rather good. Since August he has won a tournament (Bridgestone Invitational) and finished 2nd in another (Barclays Classic). In the other two tournament he has played in Since August, he didn't fair as well -- placing 65th (Deutsche Bank U.S. Championship) and 40th (PGA Championship). It is the uncharacteristic inconsistency that has thrown the media for a loop. In this event, he tends to play well -- he actually tends to play well in Chicago-area tournaments. Since 2003, he has won this event 3 times, placed 2nd twice, finished no worse than 15th, and has an average rank of 4.1.
I won't go into details for Rose, Johnson, and Stricker, but you can view their detailed analysis from the following links: Rose - analysis, Johnson - analysis, and Stricker - analysis. In addition, you can view Scott's analysis for the tournament.
