Scottie Scheffler starts the final leg of his remarkable year in the PGA Tour's FedEx Cup playoffs. But it's really not about three postseason tournaments for someone like Scheffler. For the No. 1 player in the world, it's all about the Tour Championship.

Xander Schauffele, of the United States, plays out of a bunker on the 14th hole.
For the PGA Tour, it was a choice between bringing some excitement to its version of a Super Bowl by having all 30 players with a mathematical chance, or rewarding someone with a dominant year that Scheffler has produced. If it were a true season-long race, this would be something akin to a ceremonial three weeks before crowning Scheffler.The system now is great for Rory McIlroy, the only three-time FedEx Cup champion. He won the titles in 2016, 2019 and 2022, never as the top seed to start the postseason or even going into the Tour Championship.
