It’s time.
It’s time to crown the winner of the 2021-22 FedEx Cup. After his victory at the BMW Championship last week, Patrick Cantlay has vaulted from No. 7 in the FedEx Cup standings to No. 2, only behind Scottie Scheffler.
At this week’s Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, the leaderboard will be staggered. Players will start a certain amount of shots behind the world No. 1 depending on where they rank in the standings (the full leaderboard is detailed below).
Tuesday morning, Will Zalatoris, No. 3 in the FEC standings, withdrew from the event due to two herniated discs.
The last three FedEx Cup champions: Patrick Cantlay (2021), Dustin Johnson (2020) and Rory McIlroy (2019).
Let’s jump into our final preview of the 2021-22 campaign.
