The PGA Tour opened its 2020 FedExCup Playoffs have gone through two events, and now the FedEx Cup champion and the $15 million that goes with it will be determined at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta at the TOUR Championship. The Top 30 golfers in the world will advance, with a total of $60 million in prize money being determined in the no-cut event next weekend.
Jon Rahm won the BMW Championship in dramatic fashion making a 66-foot birdie putt, holding off Dustin Johnson who made an incredible putt himself just to force a playoff.
In winning the tournament, Rahm moved to second place in the FedExCup Playoffs points leaderboard. He entered the tournament in 9th place but with triple points in the playoffs, it makes it easier for someone to shoot up the leaderboard. Johnson entered the BMW comfortably in the lead, and his second place finish maintained his spot.
The TOUR Championship rewards the best golfers by giving them strokes with which they’ll start the tournament. Johnson will have a 10-shot edge on the five golfers in the field with the least points, but only a two-stroke advantage on the second-place finisher Rahm. Because of the format of the TOUR Championship, DJ can not have the best score but still win the $15 million prize that comes with first place in the FedEx Cup. Even if one of the golfers in this field fails to tee off this week, they’ll still take home a cool $400,000 for their troubles for finishing in 30th place.
Here are the Top 30 golfers of the year following the BMW Championship, and thus the full projected field for the TOUR Championship at East Lake in Atlanta.
