FedExCup Rankings: The Leaders Emerge
Mattieu Pavon stands as the FedExCup frontrunner with an impressive 949 points from four events, including one victory and three top-ten finishes. Close on his heels are Chris Kirk (USA), ranked second with 813 points from four events, and Wyndham Clark (USA), ascending to third with 761 points from three events. Korean golfer Byeong Hun An and American Scottie Scheffler complete the top five, holding 601 and 536 points respectively after similar event participations.
How the PGA Tour’s FedExCup works
The FedExCup is the season ranking of the PGA Tour. The top 30 players in the FedExCup ranking are allowed to take part in the PGA Tour’s final play-off tournament at the end of the season. The season ranking also determines who is allowed to play on the PGA Tour the following year. At each tournament, the players who make the cut collect points. The total number of points earned at a tournament depends on the value of the event. Major tournaments earn the most points. The winner receives 500 points for winning a normal PGA Tour tournament.
