Daily Grounds and upgraded hospitality tickets on sale at TOURChampionship.com
ATLANTA – Jon Rahm’s historic U.S. Open victory on Sunday has him in position to qualify for his fifth consecutive TOUR Championship, with the Spaniard vaulting from No. 19 to No. 2 in the FedExCup standings with his come-from-behind win at Torrey Pines that secured his first major championship victory while reclaiming the No. 1 spot in the Official World Golf Ranking.
The TOUR Championship will once again serve as the culminating event of the FedExCup Playoffs and PGA TOUR season, where only the top 30 players in the FedExCup standings will advance to East Lake Golf Club over Labor Day weekend, September 2-5, for a chance to win the PGA TOUR’s Ultimate Prize: the FedExCup.
The eight-time PGA TOUR winner has now won at least once in each of the last five seasons. In 2020, Rahm arrived at East Lake at No. 2 in the standings following his win in the second FedExCup Playoffs event at the BMW Championship. Rahm went on to finish fourth in the TOUR Championship and secured his career-best finish in the FedExCup standings.
With a U.S. Open now on his resume, Rahm can look to become the first player since Jordan Spieth in 2015 to win the U.S. Open and FedExCup in the same season.
Patrick Cantly remains the FedExCup standings leader following a T15 at the U.S. Open. Cantlay captured his second PGA TOUR event of the 2020-21 season at the Memorial Tournament presented by Workday and holds a 137-point lead over Rahm.
Other notable players currently inside the top 30 include Bryson DeChambeau (No. 3), Spieth (No. 4), Justin Thomas (No. 5), Stewart Cink (No. 11), Brooks Koepka (No. 15), Dustin Johnson (No. 17) and Rory McIlroy (No. 24).
