It's official now, the 2014 FedEx Cup Playoffs are officially under way, with the first event being The 2014 Barclays, which is being played this week at Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, New Jersey. As with all playoff events, the Barclays prize fund is a little higher than the regular PGA tournament and of course offers tons of FedEx Cup points.
Ridgewood Country Club has hosted The Barclays twice in the past, in 2008 and 2010. It has also hosted several senior and amateur events, as well as a Ryder Cup in 1935. However the club is probably known best as being the club where Byron Nelson was worked as an assistant pro, earlier in his career. It plays as a par 71 and 7,319 yards.
The Barclays features the top 125 players on the FedEx Cup points rankings, which includes many of the top players in the world. Here are our picks for the Barclays winner this year:
1) Graeme McDowell: he's always one of our picks whenever he's playing
2) Rickie Fowler: he's playing hot golf at the moment and is probably playing as the second best player in the world behind Rory McIlroy
3) Jason Day: I don't know how he does it, but Jason Day's always near the top of any leaderboard.
Stay tuned for our weekend update of the Barclays,
