When the Sentry Tournament of Champions begins Thursday, the race for the FedExCup will be in a unique position for the first tournament of the calendar year.
For one, two major championships have already been contested in this ‘Super Season.’ Nearly 14% more winners’ points have been distributed than at this same point last season.
Because of COVID-19, there were only 22 tournaments played between last year’s Sentry Tournament of Champions and the final event of the regular season, the Wyndham Championship. There are 35 official events scheduled for that stretch this year, which means players will have work to do if they want to earn one of the 30 coveted spots at the TOUR Championship.
