ATLANTA — For all the debates on either side of the aisle as to whether the logistics are proper from a competitive point of view, players at least accept the clean structure of the FedEx Cup come Tour Championship time.

“Knowing that if I win, I win the FedEx Cup,” Rickie Fowler said, when asked what he likes about this year’s visit to the Tour Championship.
