A week after Bryson DeChambeau dominated the Northern Trust with a four-shot win (and likely secured his spot on the Ryder Cup team as a captain's pick), the second leg of the four-tournament FedEx Cup playoffs begins Friday at TPC Boston.
It's a somewhat limited field, as only the top 100 in the FedEx Cup standings are eligible to play. This week is significant because only the top 70 in the standings after Monday's finish will advance to the following week's BMW Championship. A high finish this week can see a player currently in that 70–100 range put themselves in position to qualify not only for the BMW, but for the Tour Championship, which will feature the Top 30 in the standings after the BMW.
