| 2007 PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup |
| Ranked 72nd entering the '07 PGA TOUR Playoffs, Arron Oberholser moved up to 34th thanks in part to a solid tie for second at the '07 Deutsche Bank Championship. Camilo Villegas vaulted up 28 spots in the '07 Playoffs because of his three top-10s in his four starts. Villegas was the lowest ranked player entering the '07 Playoffs to make it to THE TOUR Championship in '07 (he started 52nd). Steve Stricker entered the '07 Playoffs ranked 12th and moved to first after his win at The Barclays. He finished strong with two top-10s in his last three events, but Tiger Woods took the No. 1 spot back with his win at the BMW Championship. |
