FedEx Cup Standings 2024: Points Leaderboard Before TOUR Championship

Joe Tansey

Scottie Scheffler and Xander Schauffele's yearlong duel for the FedEx Cup comes to a conclusion this week at the Tour Championship.

The two golfers are the only ones capable of finishing on top of the FedEx Cup standings on Sunday at East Lake Golf Club.

Scheffler holds a 1,193-point lead on Schauffele, while the distance between Schauffele in second and Hideki Matsuyama in third is over 1,500 points.

While most of the focus will be on the FedEx Cup winner, the Tour Championship presents all 30 golfers in the field with chances to climb up the leaderboard and earn larger bonuses that come with every position.

For example, every golfer who finishes between first and 12th in the FedEx Cup standings takes home at least a $1 million bonus. The FedEx Cup champion comes away with a $25 million bonus.

A victory during the FedEx Cup Playoffs comes with 2,000 FedEx Cup points.

Hideki Matsuyama and Keegan Bradley used victories over the last two weeks to vault into third and fourth place, but even with the wins, neither player has the potential to catch Scheffler at the Tour Championship.

Schauffele is the only golfer who can make up a points gap to Scheffler, but even doing that will be difficult.

Scheffler starts the Tour Championship at 10-under as the FedEx Cup leader. Schauffele will be at a two-shot disadvantage from the start.

The good news for Schauffele is that his career scoring average at East Lake is a full stroke better than Scheffler.

The two-time major winner in 2024 is also in better form with four consecutive top-10 finishes, a run that started with a win at The Open.

Scheffler tied for 33rd at last week's BMW Championship, a rare misstep in a season where he has 15 top-10 finishes.

Only four golfers will start the Tour Championship within five strokes of Scheffler. Matsuyama, Bradley and Ludvig Aberg join Schauffele in that category.

The rest of the field will be jockeying for position outside of the top two in the FedEx Cup standings.

The golfers from sixth to 30th place in the FedEx Cup start within four strokes of each other, so plenty of movement will happen over the four days of competition.
