BMW Championship leaderboard holds dual meaning (The Associated Press)

This week's field at the BMW Championship is keeping an eye on two leaderboards -- the one for the tournament itself and the other that tracks the standings for the FedEx Cup playoffs.

This the final week players can qualify for the season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta. The top 30 on the FedEx Cup points list will move on, while the others will be eliminated from the playoffs.

That means most of the field for this week's tournament at Crooked Stick outside Indianapolis, will need to perform well just to have a shot to reach the Tour Championship and earn the opportunity to compete for the $10 million prize.
