Scottie Scheffler enters the Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta as the FedEx Cup points leader, having accumulated nearly 5,000 points. Despite this lead, all points are reset for the tournament's start on August 27, allowing any of the 30 competitors, including No. 30 Ryan Fox, the chance to win the FedEx Cup. Last year's format change saw Scheffler's large lead neutralized when Tommy Fleetwood won from ninth place. Following the BMW Championship, players like Patrick Cantlay significantly improved their positions, while others, such as Rickie Fowler, fell out of the top 30.
