The FedEx Cup has become a lucrative and prestigious format that has been won by some of the best players in the world since its inception in 2007.
Dustin Johnson is currently the reigning champion from 2020 and he is in good shape to defend his title, staring at the Northern Trust at Liberty National this week.

10 - Billy Horschel

9 - Brandt Snedeker
Brandt Snedeker won the Tour Championship in 2012 and this meant that he picked up the FedEx Cup, his career-best achievement so far. This contributed to his earnings of $19,290,045 in the playoffs.

Spieth has made 26 starts in the playoffs and has earned $22,076,967 in the process. In 2015, Spieth was in scintillating form on the PGA Tour, winning five times including The Masters and the US Open which helped him on his way to FedEx Cup glory.
