Scottie Scheffler has been the man to beat all season, and he leads the pack entering the Tour Championship. The 2024 Masters and Olympics champion lapped the field in FedExCup points during the regular season, and he has held onto his lead through the first two events of the FedExCup Playoffs.

Xander Schauffele is hot on Scheffler's heels, though. Schauffele is second in FedExCup points heading into this year's championship event after winning the PGA Championship and the British Open.

Hideki Matsuyama and Keegan Bradley are next in the standings after winning the first two FedExCup Playoff events, respectively. Matsuyama started the playoffs by winning the FedEx St. Jude Championship, and Bradley followed that up by winning the BMW Championship after being the last golfer to qualify for the event.
