The FedExCup Playoffs will conclude at the Tour Championship, but not everyone will start from scratch. With the staggered scoring system in place, Scottie Scheffler will take a two-stroke advantage into the opening round at East Lake.
Starting scores are based on where players stand in FedExCup points. Here’s how the 30 players in the field will begin the finale (Note: Will Zalatoris withdrew on Tuesday. No one else’s starting strokes will be affected and Zalatoris will receive 30th-place money if everyone else finishes the tournament.)
10 under: Scottie Scheffler
8 under: Patrick Cantlay
7 under: Will Zalatoris (WD)
6 under: Xander Schauffele
5 under: Sam Burns
4 under: Cameron Smith, Rory McIlroy, Tony Finau, Sepp Straka, Sungjae Im
3 under: Jon Rahm, Scott Stallings, Justin Thomas, Cameron Young, Matthew Fitzpatrick
2 under: Max Homa, Hideki Matsuyama, Jordan Spieth, Joaquin Niemann, Viktor Hovland
1 under: Collin Morikawa, Billy Horschel, Tom Hoge, Corey Conners, Brian Harman
Even par: K.H. Lee, J.T. Poston, Sahith Theegala, Adam Scott, Aaron Wise
