FedExCup Movers: Who's up, who's down?

With two tournaments offering FedExCup points last week, there was plenty of opportunity for players to make moves as we get closer to the end of the regular season.

Anthony Kim made the biggest move of any player at the British Open. His tie for fifth jumped him 24 spots, and he's now 85th in points.

But Tom Pernice Jr., who plays mostly on the Champions Tour, made the biggest move of the week. His tie for second at the Viking Classic moved him from 212th to 162nd in the standings, a jump of 50 spots.

Pernice, though, still has work to do if he wants to make the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup, since only the top 125 will advance to The Barclays, the first Playoffs event.

George McNeill, who joined Pernice in a tie for second, did move inside the top 125 with a jump of 40 spots.

Viking Classic winner Chris Kirk moved inside the top 30 (to 27th) by winning the Viking Classic. The top 30 cutoff is key, since only the top 30 after the BMW Championship will advance to the TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola. If Kirk can maintain his position, he will have a chance to win the FedExCup.

Tim Clark, the 2010 PLAYERS champion who has been battling injury problems for much of this season, is now the new bubble boy at 125th in FedExCup points. Clark, who fell three spots from last week, has not played on TOUR since withdrawing at THE PLAYERS in May.

The following are the biggest movers -- up and down -- after the British Open/Viking Classic week.
