Scheffler finished atop the season-long standings with 4,218 points, booking two wins and 16 top-10 finishes over 22 events. He holds down the top spot in the Official World Golf Ranking, and he finished in a tie for second at last week’s BMW Championship.
Hovland moved into second place with 4,024 points following a victory at the BMW Championship, his second win of the season. He’s ranked fifth in the OWGR and has eight top 10 finishes in 22 tournaments.
McIlroy is a three-time winner of the FedEx Cup and will be looking to defend his title. He’s third in points with 3,494 and second in the OWGR, and he has a pair of wins and 12 top 10 finishes in his 17 appearances.
Rahm has tumbled to fourth place with 3,486 points. He has an impressive four victories, including this season’s Masters, and 10 top 10 finishes in 19 events. He finished in a tie for 31st at last week’s tournament.
As the odds indicate, the chances of someone outside of the top four pulling out a victory are long. However, there’s still an incentive for all of the golfers in the field in the form of a large sum of bonus money.
