The Northern Trust 2021 is the start of the FedExCup playoffs this year, and everyone is all set to try and win and maybe make it to the Ryder Cup later on. This time, the event is held at the Liberty National Golf Course, with players like Justin Thomas and John Rahm among those who fans look forward to seeing on the field. Dustin Johnson won last year, scoring 30-under par to secure his victory against Harris English.

Current reports also threaten a weather hazard, as Tropical Storm ‘Henri’ might turn to a hurricane if it hits the bay. Something similar had taken place in 2011 when the event was canceled entirely as a hurricane cause landfall. Back then, it was known as the Barclays.

The event was previously known as the Westchester Classic and began in 1976. It was played at TPC Boston in 2020 before returning to Liberty National.
