Only three weeks remain in the FedEx Cup, and golf's best have their work cut out for them as they chase one of the game's biggest purses. But that's not all that's at stake.
Pat McAfee reacts to Scottie Scheffler's miraculous final round that led him to a gold medal for the United States in Paris. Many of the best golfers in the world will not only have to deal with grueling heat and humidity at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, Tennessee, and the season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta, but also elevation at the BMW Championship outside Denver in between.
Matt Kuchar, who was the only player to make every playoff since 2007, had his streak end when he finished 104th with 382 points. After tinkering with his swing during the offseason, Hovland's game remains a work in progress. He is 57th in the FedEx Cup standings with 854 points, so he'll have to play better in Memphis to advance to the BMW Championship. Hovland was solo third at the PGA Championship , but missed the cut at the Masters, U.S. Open and The Open. He tied for 30th at the Olympics.
This year, in addition to Atlanta's heat and humidity, golfers will also be challenged by a redesigned golf course. East Lake Golf Club underwent an extensive renovation after the conclusion of last year's Tour Championship. Architect Andrew Green used a previously unknown aerial photo from 1949 as inspiration, according to the club.
If the teams were selected today, Scheffler , Schauffele , Collin Morikawa , Wyndham Clark , Sahith Theegala and Cantlay would automatically qualify for the U.S. team based on the Presidents Cup points standings. Longtime international competition veteran Justin Thomas is 15th in points with 2,982, and Spieth is 25th with 2,421. Last week, Spieth hinted that he might need offseason surgery to repair a tendon injury in his left wrist, so he might not be available to play anyhow.
