The Champions Tour campaign reaches its climax at this week’s Charles Schwab Cup Championship, where Bernhard Langer is bidding to top the season-long standings for a fourth year running.
Every player in the 36-man field still has a mathematical chance of winning the Schwab Cup and the $1million bonus, although only the current top five in the standings control their destiny.
The rankings get reset ahead of this week's event in Arizona - just like in the PGA Tour's FedExCup play-offs - meaning any of the current top five will win the Schwab Cup by claiming victory at the season-finale.
Langer leads the way after registering seven wins in an extraordinary year, including back-to-back victories in the first two events of the season-ending play-offs, with America's Scott McCarron in second after four titles in 2017.
US Senior Open champion Kenny Perry occupies third spot ahead of Miguel Angel Jimenez - who lost to Langer in a play-off at the PowerShares QQQ Championship last month - with Kevin Sutherland completing the top five.
Colin Montgomerie heads into the week in seventh spot after winning the SAS Championship in October, while former Masters champions Vijay Singh and Fred Couples are among the other players inside the top 10.
Last year's Charles Schwab Cup Championship winner Paul Goydos looks to defend his title at Phoenix Country Club, with Langer already assured of finishing top of the money list for the ninth time in 10 seasons.
