FedEx Cup Points 2019: Explaining Distribution and Standings

The 2019 FedEx Cup Playoffs have seen a rather dramatic overhaul, with just three tournaments on offer over the course of August and a shift in the scoring system.

Brooks Koepka will start the first tournament, the Northern Trust in Jersey City, New Jersey, with a healthy 572-point lead over Rory McIlroy. Things can change in a hurry, however, ahead of the Tour Championship in Atlanta, Georgia.

Here is a look at the current standings (Rank, Player, Events, Points):

1 Brooks Koepka 18, 2,887

2 Rory McIlroy 16, 2,315

4 Xander Schauffele 18, 1,858

5 Gary Woodland 21, 1,795
