THE HISTORY

The FedEx Cup Playoffs begin with only 125 players now officially eligible to win the season long crown and the $15 million bonus that goes with it. With the Playoffs dropping from four to three events this season, only the top 70 players are eligible for the start at Medinah next week meaning 55 players face the chop at the conclusion of The Northern Trust.

The Northern Trust – formerly The Barclays – has been played at five different venues over the past ten editions and returns to Liberty National for the first time since 2013 where Adam Scott was victorious. Naturally, the winning total has varied through the different courses, however scoring at Liberty National has been relatively high through the two editions with an average winning total of 10 under par.
