Scottie Scheffler’s PGA Tour postseason amounts to a Super Bowl at East Lake

Associated Press  

MEMPHIS, Tenn. — Scottie Scheffler goes into the PGA Tour’s postseason as the No. The leading 50 players after this week move on to the BMW Championship, and from there it’s the top 30 who reach the season finale at the Tour Championship. Scheffler doesn’t see this as a chance to put an exclamation point on his remarkable season of winning the Masters, an Olympic gold medal, The Players Championship and four signature events against the strongest fields. The FedEx Cup playoffs are so fickle that no matter what he has done since January, and no matter what he does the next two weeks, the best he can do is start the Tour Championship at East Lake with a two-shot lead. Since the PGA Tour moved to this format in 2019 — two playoff events with quadruple the points, and then the top seed starting the Tour Championship at 10-under par with a two-shot lead — none of the top seeds going into the postseason has won the big prize.
