Tour Championship format

Meanwhile, in terms of players who were at the BMW Championship, only Erik van Rooyen and Sergio Garcia were the big movers. Both these players jumped from 45th and 44th spot respectively to 27th and 28th position. Other than these players, no one really from outside the top 30 made their way into the Tour Championship. 

However, the format for the Tour Championship is slightly different. The FedExCup points leader after BMW Championship will begin the Tour Championship with a score of -10. However, the rest of the players will also get a pre-determined score according to their rankings. So, players with high FedExCup rankings will get a huge boost going into this final event of the FedExCup playoff. 

Moreover, the player with the lowest aggregate score after 72 holes at Tour Championship will win the event and will also be crowned as a FedExCup champion. So, the objective to win the FedExCup playoffs is simple – win the final Tour Championship. Additionally, the Tour Championship winner will earn a bonus of $15 million and a five-year PGA Tour exemption.
