The Northern Trust live streams continue today as Tiger Woods isn't far from the top of the leaderboard at the start of round 2 of this FedEx Cup playoff. And we've got everything you need to watch.
Technically, Woods is tied for 30th place, but that's because so many people are tied near the top. He's only 4 behind right now, at 3 under par, and that is striking distance.
When the 125 top players hit the links at TPC Boston in Norton, MA, they will be looking to climb the rankings to avoid elimination, and the first threshold coming up is at 70 players. As for who's in the lead? That'd be Justin Thomas, who's got a commanding lead of 2,458 points, ahead of Collin Morikawa (1,902).
