The TOUR Championship features the top 30 golfers from the FedExCup standings in 2025, and just getting a spot in the field means a player has a chance to win this year’s FedExCup – as, new for this year, everyone starts at even par come Thursday.

NBC had 43% more viewers watching the world No. 1 win than a year ago, continuing a trend of more eyeballs in 2025.

Scottie Scheffler, the leader in the FedEx Cup standings heading into this week’s Tour Championship, holds a 3,769-point advantage over No. 2 Rory McIlroy after winning the BMW Championship on Sunday.

While factual and fresh, it’s strictly academic to state that Scheffler banks 2,000 FedExCup points for the win at Caves Valley Golf Club in Owings Mills, Maryland, because he was a lock to advance to the TOUR Championship long ago. What’s new is the $3.6 million in earnings that the FedExCup points leader grabs from a purse of $20 million.
