Who's on the bubble heading into the FedEx Cup playoffs?

We're now several years into the experiment that is the FedEx Cup, and while opinions are divided as to whether it's a viable and realistic playoff -- some enjoy it, some consider it a hopeless contrivance -- it gives at least a few guys in the field a reason to play well and watch the standings at the Wyndham this week.

The Wyndham offers the last opportunity for players trying to get into the top 125 on the FedEx Cup points list. Those 125 will then be winnowed progressively through the next few weeks, finally culminating in a 30-man free-for-all at East Lake in late September.

So let's take a look at who's on the bubble, both high and low, for getting into the FedEx Cup playoffs. Currently, Michael Letzig holds down the 125th spot. And who's in 126th? None other than former Masters winner Mike Weir.

Also just outside the bubble are notables such as Henrik Stenson, George McNeill and Billy Mayfair. PGA stats indicate that any player ranked from 126th to 142nd will jump into the top 125 with a top-10 finish.

But while the players from 96th on up are mathematically safe, there are a bunch who, statistically, are on the hot seat. Safe for the moment are David Toms (98), Corey Pavin (107), Justin Leonard (109) and David Duval (115), among others.

Oh, and there's a fellow in the 108th spot you might have heard of once or twice who's in play. Dude by the name of Tiger Woods. If, for some reason, Tiger plummeted out of the top 125 -- an implausible but not impossible scenario, given the fact that he's not playing at the Wyndham -- it'd be catastrophic for television viewing. A Woodsless Cup would put more focus on the best players in the world, but would anybody actually be watching?

Which brings up a point -- will you be watching the FedEx Cup, regardless? We'll be covering it here -- I love this stuff, contrived as it is -- but how about you?
