Scottie Scheffler leads FedEx Cup points but real drama is on the bubble

Scottie Scheffler holds an insurmountable FedEx Cup points lead of 4,873 points, with a 1,447-point advantage over second-place Matt Fitzpatrick, following his victory at the FedEx St. Jude Classic on August 16. The BMW Championship, scheduled for August 20-23 at Bellerive Country Club in St. Louis, will determine the top 30 players who advance to the Tour Championship (August 27-30) at East Lake in Atlanta. While Scheffler's overall points lead is secure, the real drama centers on the bubble battle for the final spots in the top 30, as all points reset equally once the field is set for the Tour Championship.
