Furyk, Stricker, and maybe Hunter Mahan and Dustin Johnson and Rickie Fowler or Brandt Snedeker. Bob also talks about the FedEx Cup Playoffs and how it keeps the top players around after the PGA Championship whereas before the FedEx Cup, players were very sporadic where they played or if they even played the rest of the year. Bob and Holly also talk about how they might improve the FedEx Cup playoffs so that it is a lot easy to understand.  Bob says its hard for the players to know where they stand let alone the fans know who is winning.
