The top 30 golfers in the FedEx Cup standings are still participating in the Tour Championship, but the PGA Tour's final postseason event has new rules. The No. 1 golfer, in this case Scottie Scheffler, no longer starts multiple strokes ahead of the field.

The 2025 Tour Championship may not have the most players in the field, but it does have the most to play for all season, at least in terms of money. While the prize fund for the FedEx Cup finale has been trimmed with the change in the playing format,

Scheffler's victory in the BMW Championship on Aug. 17, in which he rallied from four shots behind Robert MacIntyre to start the day, was his 13th top-10 finish in a row since tying for 20th at The Players Championship. Nine of them have been top-fives.
