Justin Thomas entered TPC Boston with a comfortable lead atop the FedEx Cup standings at 2,458, and it will be his championship to lose as long as the world’s top-ranked golfer stays the course. Collin Morikawa, the breakout 23-year-old PGA Championship winner, is a distant second with 1,902 points.
Here was the top five entering play at the Northern Trust:
Justin Thomas: 2,458 points Collin Morikawa: 1,902 Webb Simpson: 1,878 Bryson DeChambeau: 1,657 Sungjae Im: 1,633
Keep in mind, a win at a FedEx Cup playoff tournament is worth three times as many points (1,500) as a regular season victory (500), so any of the 125 golfers still in contention can in theory catch Thomas if they get hot. Tiger Woods, for example, is in a tie for 49th place at 604 points and could jump into the top 10 with a win at the Northern Trust.
The top 70 golfers in the FedEx Cup standings advance to next week’s BMW Championship. And then field whittles to 30 for the Tour Championship, where the FedEx Cup (and its $15 million prize) will be awarded.
