Only four rounds separate 30 golfers from the FedEx Cup Trophy and a monstrous $10 million prize.
While every golfer in the TOUR Championship field has a chance to be crowned the FedEx Cup champ, some have a better shot than others. The top five–Jason Day, Jordan Spieth, Rickie Fowler, Henrik Stenson, Bubba Watson–will win the FedEx Cup if they win the TOUR Championship, while others need to win the tournament and get help elsewhere. Amazingly, Day, who has been on a truly unbelievable run, could finish 29th–out of 30 golfers!–and still have a mathematical chance at winning the FedEX Cup. That’s how good he has been.
Here’s a complete look at what every golfer in the field needs to happen to be crowned champion. With last year’s champ Billy Horschel already eliminated, there is guaranteed to be a new winner.
