FedEx Cup Standings 2021: Points Leaderboard Before BMW Championship
The BMW Championship has had plenty of big-name winners in its short history.
Jon Rahm is the reigning champion of the second event on the FedEx Cup schedule. Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson and Jason Day are among the winners since the event began in 2007.
A victory at Caves Valley Golf Club puts any player in the best possible situation going into the Tour Championship. That amplifies the motivation to win and should bring out the best in the top golfers in the world.
Each of the first two events on the FedEx Cup playoffs schedule awards 2,000 points to the winner, so a 20-spot jump in the standings is possible, as we saw with Tony Finau after his triumph at the Northern Trust.
