Even though the major season is in the books, the FedEx Cup playoffs will end on a high note this weekend as the 2022 Tour Championship is set to hand out a whopping $18 million grand prize and plenty of other riches to top golfers. of the PGA Tour. Beyond the money at stake, there is an immense amount of story to follow at a key moment in the history of the sport.
Scottie Scheffler is looking to become the first golfer to win five times on the PGA Tour since Justin Thomas in 2017, and he’s aiming to do so by completing the richest season in golf history. Scheffler got off to a perfect start to reach that peak, shooting 9 under the first 36 holes to stay atop the leaderboard with a two-shot advantage.
Meanwhile, Patrick Cantlay is still aiming to double down after winning the BMW Championship last week by winning back-to-back FedEx Cup trophies. Unfortunately for last year’s champion, he couldn’t keep up with Scheffler and now sits seven behind the leader with 36 holes to play.
He shot a 70 in the first round and now sits seven behind Scheffler with Xander Schauffele jumping into the new second in the standings. Most impressive so far at East Lake has been Xander Schauffele, who scored a 7-under 63 on Friday to propel himself to second place in solo play, two behind Scheffler. These two are four ahead of the rest of the field, although Jon Rahm finds himself between Schauffele and Cantlay with a clear opportunity if he can make a few moves on Saturday.
