FedEx Cup is the penultimate event of the year where one golfer is crowned as the best in the world. The top 70 players in the FedEx Cup rankings qualify for the playoffs and from there, they play various championships until the $20 million worth Tour Championship.

The first of those events will be the FedEx St. Jude Championship, which will commence a few days after the Wyndham Championship.

This year, the St. Jude event will be held from the 10th of August to the 13th. The top 70 players in the FedEx Cup rankings will qualify for the event.

Following the St. Jude Championship, the top 50 golfers will play the BMW Tournament from the 17th to the 20th of August. Similarly, the top 30 will play for the Tour Championship held on the 24th of August.

The playoff rankings are not cemented as the Wyndham Championship has not been completed yet. However, the current top 10 golfers in the Cup rankings, who can be said to have qualified already, are as follows:

  1. Jon Rahm
  2. Scottie Scheffler
  3. Rory Mcllroy
  4. Max Homa
  5. Wyndham Clark
  6. Brian Harman
  7. Viktor Hovland
  8. Keegan Bradley
  9. Rickie Fowler
  10. Tony Finau

All the players are trying their best to get into the playoffs spot by finishing strong at the Wyndham Championship. This includes Justin Thomas, Shane Lowry, and Adam Scott.


The FedEx Cup will have a prize pool of $75 million

Rory Mcllroy won the iconic Tour Championship last year and took home the winner's share of $18 million. Similarly, this year's winner will also get a massive share somewhere in the region of $18-20 million.

The Tour Championship is a prestigious tournament and the winner is crowned as the undisputed best in the world. However, only the top 30 qualify for the event to be held at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.

The Wyndham Championship will mark an end to the PGA Tour this year. The outcome of the FedEx Cup will bring the season to a close before the next one starts.

Many prominent players will be competing for millions of dollars at the Tour Championships. The winner will get an estimated $18 million followed by $6.5 million for the first runner-up and $5 million for the second runner-up.
