The 2024 FedEx Cup Playoffs will come to an end in a few hours. Scottie Scheffler entered the East Lake with a lead on the standings, despite Keegan Bradley winning the BMW Championship last week. This earned the World No. 1 an advantage of 10-under as he entered the field. Well, it did turn out in his favor because the 28 YO has been in the lead for the first three rounds.

Currently, he is at a five-stroke lead ahead of Collin Morikawa. Xander Schauffele was almost 1500 points ahead of the final leg of the playoffs. He entered the field with an advantage of 8-under. After the Saturday round though, he dropped down to a solo fourth, 10 strokes behind Scheffler. The odds are pretty much clear – the former gets to take home the trophy this year if the momentum remains the same.
