While the betting world might always have their minds on sleepers in any given PGA TOUR tournament, the underdogs don't get much attention once the FedEx Cup Playoffs kick into gear.
The TOUR invites 125 players to the postseason, yet the focus and the big money are paid to the world's best players. Looking back at recent playoff event winners is simply reading off some of the biggest names in golf. Finau, Cantlay, DJ, Rahm, Koepka, JT.
There hasn't been an abnormal winner in a FedEx Cup Playoff event since Keegan Bradley in 2018. Logically, this makes sense. These fields include all of the game's best, with a few million reasons for them to come with their A-games.
On top of that, most of the top players have coasted into the postseason with some rest weeks, while those further down the standings have needed to grind to secure their place in the postseason.
