The second FedEx Cup Playoffs event is upon us as players travel to Wilmington Country Club for the first time
The 2022 BMW Championship has big shoes to fill following a dramatic ending to the St. Jude Championship. With Will Zalatoris breaking through for his maiden victory at TPC Southwind, there is a new name atop the FedEx Cup standings for the first time in 20 weeks.
Zalatoris holds a slim edge over world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler as the two jostle for positioning ahead of the Tour Championship at East Lake. A player who will not be in the field is FedEx Cup No. 3 Cameron Smith. The reigning Open champion withdrew from the BMW Championship on Monday due to hip discomfort but is expected to return for the postseason finale.
While the top of the leaderboard brings plenty of intrigue, simply making it to the Tour Championship is an accomplishment in its own right. With the field getting trimmed from the top 70 players to the top 30 after this week, there is plenty on the line for these players; big paydays and exemptions into the Masters, the U.S. Open and The Open Championship await.
