- The 2026 FedExCup Playoffs begin Thursday in Memphis with 70 players, move to St. Louis for the BMW Championship, and conclude at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta — the second-to-last time the club hosts the TOUR Championship under the current FedExCup structure.
- Scottie Scheffler, the No. 1-ranked player and 2024 FedExCup champion, is priced at $0.23 per share on Polymarket after topping the regular-season standings to claim a $10 million prize and leading the Tour in scoring average (68.08) and strokes gained (2.251).
- Rory McIlroy, at $0.15 per share, is the only player in PGA Tour history with three FedExCup titles since the format began in 2007 and enters with 30 career wins including six majors and a nine-season winning streak.
- Cameron Young, priced at $0.08 per share, sits third in the FedExCup standings after two 2026 wins at The PLAYERS and the Cadillac Championship, ranking second on Tour in Par 4 performance (3.95).
- Matt Fitzpatrick is listed at $0.06 per share after winning three times in 2026, leading the Tour in strokes gained approach the green (0.846), and adding to five career wins that include the 2022 U.S. Open.
- Eight past FedExCup champions are in the 70-player field, with rising stars Chris Gotterup ($0.07) and Sam Burns ($0.05) also trading on Polymarket; new users can claim a $20 bonus after a $10 deposit using promo code CBSSPORTS.
Why it matters: Scheffler, who leads the PGA Tour with a 68.08 scoring average and just claimed a $10 million regular-season prize, enters as the $0.23 Polymarket favorite. McIlroy's $0.15 price reflects his unique status as the only three-time FedExCup winner since 2007, with the CBSSPORTS code offering new users a $20 bonus after a $10 deposit across all three playoff stops.
