All times are eastern.
Kevin Streelman, Vijay Singh
Tee time: 1:55 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 32
Why you should watch: Kevin Streelman has some stories to tell about his rookie year on the PGA TOUR. He found himself paired with Tiger Woods in January, and now has a date with Vijay Singh. Streelman is coming off his best finish of the season, and Singh is playing very well as the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup gets under way. As usual, it will probably come down to putting. Singh tied for the best round of the day on Saturday during a round that saw him use only 26 putts.

Sergio Garcia, Jason Day
Tee time: 1:35 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 7
Why you should watch: This is one of the most intriguing pairings of the week. Day, a rookie, was lauded as one of the best young players in the world before his maiden season on TOUR, but things have not worked out as he had hoped. Still, he qualified -- barely -- for the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup. Day has made only one bogey in the last 36 holes, and he sits only three shots back of Streelman.

Steve Stricker, Hunter Mahan
Tee Time: 12:15 p.m.
Tee: No. 1
Total TOUR wins: 4
Why you should watch: Call this the second-chance pairing. Stricker is simply not the player who shot 43 on the back nine on Saturday, and Mahan played his final 11 holes on Saturday in six over. Both are players who have a penchant for going low -- especially at Ridgewood Country Club -- and even with the mistakes, the pair lie just four shots back. Anything can happen with this group.
