PGA Tour Top 10 Power Rankings: Tour Championship
By Sam Belden
Jordan Spieth was the PGA Tour’s last FedEx Cup winner. Who will follow in his footsteps this week at the Tour Championship?
After 49 weeks and 46 events, it all comes down to this. Thirty of the PGA Tour‘s top players have qualified for the Tour Championship at East Lake, where they’ll compete for the FedEx Cup and the $10 million bonus that comes with it.
While the entered players have different point totals, all will have a chance to take home the big prize this week. That’s because FedEx Cup points are reset prior to the Tour Championship, a provision introduced in 2009 to help build suspense throughout the final event of the season. However, only the top five in the standings control their own fate — if one of them wins, he will guarantee himself the biggest single payday in professional golf.
This is the tenth season to feature the race to the FedEx Cup, a significant milestone. This week’s big winner will get to see his name engraved alongside names like Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh and Jim Furyk, among others.
Who are the top players to keep an eye on this week? Without further ado, let’s get to it. Here are ten of the best bets for success at the Tour Championship.
