PGA Tour playoffs get start at The Barclays (The Associated Press)

FARMINGDALE, N.Y. (AP) -- The top five players on the PGA Tour this season should be plenty rested going into the FedEx Cup playoffs.

Most of them haven't played since the PGA Championship three weeks ago.

That's because most of them didn't go to the Olympics.

Jason Day is the No. 1 player in the world and No. 1 in the FedEx Cup, narrowly moving past U.S. Open champion Dustin Johnson on the strength of his runner-up finish at the PGA Championship. They are followed by Adam Scott, Russell Knox and Jordan Spieth.
