Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the FedExCup playoffs.
There are 121 golfers set to tee it up this week and they are all hoping to end the week in the top 70 in the FedExCup standings. While everyone in the field has secured their PGA TOUR card for next season, there is still a ton to play for. In addition to the $15 million first place prize, anyone that makes it to East Lake will get plenty of exemptions into big events.
TPC Southwind has held a PGA TOUR event every year since 1989, but the event it has held has changed a few times. This has been a WGC event each of the last three years, so it had a limited field and didn’t feature a cut. Prior to that, it featured a full field with a cut. For this year, we have an invitational-sized field that will feature the standard top 65 and ties cut rule.
