08/19/2010 - Orlando, FL (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - Tiger Woods will defend his FedEx Cup title.
The world No. 1 announced on his website Thursday that he will play in The Barclays next week. The event kicks off the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup playoffs for the top 125 players on the points list.
Woods, who also won the first FedEx Cup in 2007, will have an uphill struggle to capture his third title.
He ranks 108th on the points list and isn't playing at this week's Wyndham Championship. While it's unlikely he will drop out of the top 125, he could mathematically fall as low as 132nd by Sunday, according to the tour.
The fields for the three playoffs events after The Barclays are pared down until there are only 30 players remaining for the Tour Championship. Last year, only seven players ranked outside the top 30 on the points list made it to the playoff finale.
One of them was Heath Slocum, who entered the playoffs ranked 124th, but moved to No. 3 with an unlikely victory at The Barclays.
Slocum poured in a 21-foot birdie putt on the last hole to win by a stroke. Among the players he edged out? Woods, who still went on to capture the playoffs title.
The Barclays would mark Woods' 10th start of the season. He has yet to win.

“You play to win the game!”
Those are the words of notoriously intense head coach Herman Edwards. Unfortunately, from a bettors’ perspective, most coaches don’t feel that way about the NFL preseason. August is a time to evaluate young players, finalize the depth chart and pray your star players stay healthy.
The trick to making money during the exhibition schedule is identifying coaches – like Edwards – who can’t stand losing even when there's nothing on the line.
The New York Jets betting won 15 of 21 preseason games and went 14-7 against the spread (ATS) during Edwards’s five-year tenure with the club. In his first season as the Kansas City Chiefs field boss, the team improved from 0-4 to 2-2.
Identifying win-a-holics like Edwards is a good start if you plan betting the preseason – even though most say you shouldn’t ... but what the hell do they know anyway?
Here’s a brief rundown of two teams that have a habit of winning during the second-stringers’ season, and another club that has a good chance of exceeding this year.
Playing in the media hub of North America can be stressful but the press can’t write anything negative about the way Tom Coughlin’s boys play in the preseason. The Giants won and covered all four games last summer, improving their record to 7-1 both straight up (SU) and against the spread over the last two years.
Coughlin has shown he’s not afraid to give his starters more time in the second preseason game than most of his colleagues, no doubt one of the reasons his team has been so dominant.
Bettors can count on America’s team early on. The Cowboys are 14-6 both SU and ATS since 2002 in warm-up contests. Former coach Bill Parcells, the coach of the team the last four years, has an intimidating, in-your-face presence – surely a reason Dallas has had so much early success.
The Big Tuna won’t be strolling the sidelines with looks of disgust, but new coach Wade Phillips will be anxious to make a good first impression for owner Jerry Jones.
Dallas plays the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos before things get serious. They then face the Houston Texans in their third contest (the game starters see most game time) and finish off with the Minnesota Vikings.
Expect a Dallas team able to walk away with another 3-1 preseason record.
This team scored a league-worst 12 offensive touchdowns last season, so the rookies and veterans each have something to prove. There’s a bounty of first-unit jobs up for grabs and plenty of bodies competing for those slots.
First-time head coach Lane Kiffin will be eager to impress an owner who employs the philosophy, “Just win, baby!”
The 32-year-old Kiffin has to command respect from a locker room full of players older than him. All of these factors should lead to purpose in preseason.
Don’t forget: before playing like a team that belonged in NFL Europe, Oakland went 4-1 (both SU and ATS) in exhibition games.
