Can somebody explain to me how Rory Mc hasnt already won the FedEx Cup?

If he comes in dead last this week know body can reach him in FedEx points Tiger is over 3000 points behind him.  Is this just propaganda to get people to watch? Has the PGA asked Sports Writers to pretend the Cup is still on the line? I can't find a single article stating he has already won.. why is this?  Do you maybe have points taken away the farther back you finish this week?  Thats the only thing I can see .. but I dont believe  this is the case.

Please help! :)

Tiger is only 250 points back as of this week.  The points are re-set prior to the Tour Championship; they're set in such a way that basically anyone who makes the final event can theoretically win the cup, and everyone in the top-5 controls their own destiny (i.e. if they win the tournament, no other player can win the cup, regardless of how they finish in the TC).

They did this to avoid exactly what you're talking about.  In 2008, Vijay had already won the Cup through the 3rd playoff event; the Tour Championship was totally pointless (from a FedEx Cup perspective).  The PGA Tour didn't like that.
