The 2024 FedEx Cup Playoffs gets underway on Thursday from Memphis, Tennessee. Yes, I am completely aware that Viktor Hovland of Norway is the defending FedEx Cup Playoffs champion, but let’s not kid ourselves. World number one Scottie Scheffler and world number two Xander Schauffele are playing at another level and better than anyone else on the PGA Tour.
Scottie Scheffler
Scottie Scheffler’s latest win was a gold medal victory at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris. What was so spectacular about Scheffler’s latest W was the fact he came from behind. Scheffler was at one time four strokes back of Schauffle and Jon Rahm of Spain before he made nine birdies in a 17 hole stretch.

Xander Schauffele
What we have seen lately from Schauffele in 2024 is also extraordinary. To win one major in a year is an incredible mental grind, and the world number two from San Diego has done it not once but twice, as Schauffele won the 2024 PGA Championship and 2024 British Open.

Rory McIlroy
There is no doubt that Northern Ireland’s best and the world number three is a distant third in the Official World Golf Rankings at the moment. While Scheffler has 18.1617 average points, and Schauffele is second with 10.7333 average points, McIlroy is third with 8.6865 average points. The reason to choose McIlroy here is not just because of his 26 PGA Tour wins, but because he has won six FedEx Cup playoff events, which is tied with Dustin Johnson for the most ever.
