Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston in Norton, Mass.

And for those doing some FedExCup postseason a little more intrigue heading to September.

Steve Stricker won the first playoff tournament last week, Rory Sabbatini, who ended up in third place at The Barclays, is 250 points behind Choi, while the inactive Woods dropped to fourth place.

Mark Calcavecchia, Vijay Singh missed the cut and didn’t pick up any points.

So after one FedExCup playoff event here’s how the race for that trophy is looking:

01 Steve Stricker --- 104,950

02 K.J. Choi --- 102,900

03 Rory Sabbatini --- 100,650

04 Tiger Woods --- 100,000

05 Phil Mickelson --- 99,613

06 Vijay Singh --- 99,000

07 Jim Furyk --- 98,850

08 Zach Johnson --- 97,350

09 Adam Scott --- 97,150

10 Ernie Els --- 96,967

Singh and Scott (who finished in 14th place at The Barclays and picked up 900 points) are both past winners of the Deutsche Bank Championship – Singh in 2004, and Scott in 2003. The oddsmakers at BetUS sportsbook ave them in the second tier of contenders on the golf odds list for this week’s event, with Singh at +2000 odds and Scott back at +2500.

Other top golf odds to get the win at TPC Boston this week include Mickelson (+2000), Justin Rose (+2500), Choi (+2800), Furyk (+2800), and Ogilvy (+2800). Stricker might be the standings leader right now, but the oddsmakers have him farther back on the list at just +5000 to get the win. Els was listed high on the odds list, but he will miss this week’s event to spend time with his family. Here are the other contenders:

Tiger Woods +150

Phil Mickelson +2000

Vijay Singh +2000

Justin Rose +2500

Adam Scott +2500

K.J. Choi +2800

Jim Furyk +2800

Geoff Ogilvy +2800

Sergio Garcia +3000

Padraig Harrington +3500

Rory Sabbatini +4000

Hunter Mahan +4500

Luke Donald +5000

Kenny Perry +5000

Steve Stricker +5000

Retief Goosen +6000

Arron Oberholser +6000

Ian Poulter +6000

Trevor Immelman +7000

Scott Verplank +7000

Stewart Cink +7500

Tim Clark +7500

Zach Johnson +7500

Brandt Snedeker +7500

Woods is also pegged as the big -750 favorite to pick up a Top-10 finish at the Deutsche Bank Championship this weekend. Mickelson and Singh are next on that list at +180, followed by Rose (+225), Scott (+225), Choi (+255), and Ogilvy (+255). Woods is then listed as the -335 fave to end up in the Top 4 at the event, with Mickelson (+400), Singh (+400), Rose (+500), and Scott (+500) behind him.

The FedExCup field is further reduced (to just the top 70 players in the standings) when the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Course in Atlanta, Georgia from September 13 thru 16.
