FedExCup scenarios: THE NORTHERN TRUST
1 Min Read
How to make the top 70
The FedExCup Playoffs are here. Fields grow smaller each week and four times the FedExCup points are on offer. That means there are plenty of permutations as players jockey for position.
The top 125 players in the FedExCup Playoffs qualified for THE NORTHERN TRUST, which begins Thursday at Liberty National Golf Course in Jersey City, N.J. Only 70 will advance to next week’s BMW Championship at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland.
Then there are just 30 spots available in the season-ending TOUR Championship, where every player in the field has a chance at the FedExCup and its $15 million first prize.
Players 59th or better in the FedExCup would likely qualify for the BMW Championship based on current points and projections.
Players 117th or lower likely need a top 10 (or better) to move into the top 70. Players 90th or lower likely need a top 20 (or better) to move into the top 70, and players 81st or lower likely need a top 25 (or better) to move into the top 70 and qualify for the BMW Championship.
Curious what your favorite player needs to do this week to get inside the top 70 of the the FedExCup standings? See the scenarios below.
