Eliminated at the BMW Championship
These 20 players made the BMW field but missed the top 30 cut for East Lake. Kurt Kitayama, Rickie Fowler and Bud Cauley were the three squeezed out.

How the Points Worked
Playoff events are worth quadruple points, with 750 going to each winner. That’s why the standings churned so hard at the BMW: Patrick Cantlay’s solo second moved him 24 spots, from 43rd to 19th. Gary Woodland climbed from 31st to 18th, and Robert MacIntyre jumped 11 places to 25th on the back of a Sunday 65.
Scheffler’s margin was decided earlier. His win at the FedEx St. Jude Championship built a lead that was mathematically untouchable heading into the BMW — Fitzpatrick could have won in St. Louis and still finished second.
Why These Standings Stop Mattering at East Lake
This is the part that surprises people. The points list above is final — the BMW was the last points-earning event of the season. At the Tour Championship all 30 qualifiers start at even par, and the lowest 72-hole score wins both the tournament and the FedEx Cup. There is no live points race during the finale and no starting-strokes advantage for the No. 1 seed.
The 2026 finale is proving the point. Viktor Hovland, seeded 26th, led after three rounds at East Lake, and 17th-seeded Ryan Gerard was a shot behind him. Our Tour Championship format explainer covers the change in detail, and official standings are at PGATour.com.
How the Finale Played Out
Scheffler began Sunday three shots behind Viktor Hovland and closed with a 4-under 66 to post 16-under 264, winning by three. Ryan Gerard finished alone in third at 12 under in his Tour Championship debut, and Rory McIlroy was part of a seven-way tie for fourth.
It is Scheffler’s second FedExCup after 2024, making him one of only three players to win it more than once alongside Rory McIlroy (three) and Tiger Woods (two). He also became the 13th player to win multiple events in a single FedExCup Playoffs, having taken the St. Jude Championship earlier in the run — the first to do it since Hovland in 2023. The win was his 22nd PGA Tour title and third of the 2026 season, and it paid $10 million from the $40 million purse.
Note the symmetry with the points list above: the man who finished No. 1 in the standings also won the tournament that no longer rewards finishing No. 1 in the standings. That does not happen every year, and it is the strongest argument the format’s defenders have.
What Happens Next
These totals are the final word on the 2026 FedEx Cup points race, and the champion is now decided. The points list above does not change again.
Attention then shifts to the FedEx Cup Fall, a separate eight-event series running from mid-September through late November. It carries its own standings and different stakes: players ranked 51st and beyond compete to finish inside the top 100 and keep full status for 2027, with 101st through 125th earning conditional status and everyone outside heading to Q-School. Players 51-70 are already safe but are chasing entry into the following season’s first two Signature Events and their $20 million purses. The 2027 FedEx Cup standings then begin from zero in January.
The Bottom Line
Scottie Scheffler closed the 2026 FedEx Cup season at No. 1 with 4,985.833 points, his fifth straight year atop the standings, ahead of Matt Fitzpatrick and Wyndham Clark. Ryan Fox took the final East Lake spot at No. 30 with 1,367.743, edging Kurt Kitayama by roughly 65 points. Scheffler then went out and won the Tour Championship by three shots, taking his second FedExCup and $10 million — the points leader and the champion turning out to be the same man, which under the current format is coincidence rather than design.
