SUB 60 HEADLINES

Keegan Bradley completed a stunning victory at the BMW Championship, a tournament he initially believed he wouldn't even participate in after narrowly securing the 50th (and last) spot in the FedEx Cup standings. Bradley’s consistent performance over the weekend ultimately led him to win the tournament by one shot over competitors Adam Scott, Sam Burns, and Ludvig Åberg.

This triumph catapulted him to 4th place in the Fedex Cup standings, positioning him strongly for the upcoming Tour Championship at East Lake and its lucrative $25 million prize. Additionally, Bradley's win significantly improved his prospects for a captain's pick in the upcoming Presidents Cup, where he already serves as an assistant captain.

The win only adds to an already exciting summer for Bradley as he was recently named the US Captain for the 2025 Ryder Cup after Tiger Woods turned down the offer. Bradley’s summer can only be best described by his own words after the win on Sunday, “I can’t even wrap my head around it”.

TOUR CHAMPIONSHIP PREVIEW

The PGA Tour Season comes to and end this weekend in Atlanta where the top 30 players in the Fedex Cup standings will battle it out for the $25 million top prize. Here’s a look at this years top 30.

The unique staggered start format for the Tour Championship gives those at the top of the Fedex Cup standings a significant advantage heading into the tournament. For the second year in a row, Fedex Cup leader Scottie Scheffler will start the tournament -10 to par while those below him in the standings will start anywhere from -8 to even to par based in their standings.

The newly restored East Lake Golf Club will host the Tour Championship and its recent course changes aim to make play more exciting. The changes to the course take it back to its “roots” while also adding challenging elements such as newly positioned bunkers and uniquely sloped greens. The Tour pros will need to play strategically this weekend if they want to get their hands on the Fedex Cup Trophy.

SOCIAL OF THE WEEK

What do you think JT’s odds are this weekend starting 10 shots behind Scottie Scheffler? Better than Llyod’s? 😂
