 After 47 events of 2020-21 PGA Tour season (including six major champ's), the longest regular season in PGA Tour history has ended and the three-week postseason is here. 

The FedEx Cup Playoffs start this week with The Northern Trust, followed by the BMW Championship and big-money Tour Championship at East Lake, which wraps up the entire 50-event season.


The idea behind the FedEx Cup playoffs when they began in 2007 was for players to be at their best during the postseason chase for a cash bonanza — $10 million for the winner back then, $15 million now, rising to $18 million next year.
