Playoffs Begin This Week at The Barclays
The PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedExCup begin this week, with The Barclays the first of four Playoff events. The top-144 points earners qualified for the Playoffs (136 are playing), with seeding determined by a points reset based on their Regular Season standing. Sixteen players will be eliminated after the first week, with 120 teeing it up at the second event, the Deutsche Bank Championship in suburban Boston, MA. The third event—the BMW Championship near St. Louis, MO—will have 70 players and no cut—with the top-30 in the points standings qualifying for the season-ending TOUR Championship presented by Coca-Cola in Atlanta, GA. Those 30 will compete for the FedExCup, with the winner earning $10 million. Each of the four Playoff events features $7-million purses.
