Facts and figures
The top 30 players in the FedExCup Playoffs will advance to the fourth and final postseason event, the Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta.
Bryson DeChambeau is only the second player to win the first two playoff events, following Vijay Singh in 2008. No one has won the first three.
DeChambeau is the only player to win in consecutive weeks this season on the PGA Tour.
Rory McIlroy, Tiger Woods, Rickie Fowler and Jordan Spieth are on the bubble for advancing to the Tour Championship. They stand 24th, 25th, 26th and 27th, respectively, in the point standings, and only the top 30 at the end of the BMW Championship will advance.
Woods has won this event five times, tied with Walter Hagen for most all time.
