Scheffler starts FedEx Cup as champion favorite
Scottie Scheffler enters the FedEx Cup playoffs as the Tour Championship favorite despite surrendering the world No. 1 ranking to Rory McIlroy. Scheffler claimed four PGA Tour wins this season, including the Masters and the Arnold Palmer Invitational, and he has maintained his dominance since slipping to No. 2 in the world rankings. McIlroy, on the other hand, is also in contention after returning to the top spot with a victory at the Tour Championship.
