Well, the winner of the Fedexcup must be a heck of a player, someone who has played well in the season and plays well during the playoffs. A player of this caliber does not need 5 year exemption. Would Tiger need exemption? Or Phil. Stricker on the other hand may need a 5 year exemption only because he was not playing well before, but who knows after he won the cup, with all the confidence he may be a force to be reckon with, and thus won't need an exemption either.

The money won't hurt, but to Tiger he would want to win it to bolster his reputation and get back at Phil, imagine if someone else win the Tour Championship but he won the Fedexcup, wouldn't that be funny, two champions. But I bet that he's dreaming of holding two cups at the same time, and be the first ever champion, that to me is his motivation.
