Tony Finau carded rounds of 72-66-67-64 to wind up finishing 15-under-par with a ninth-place finish at the 2022 PGA Tour Championship.

Fantasy Impact: Finau once again had a poor opening round but he recovered nicely, going 13-under-par during the final three rounds at East Lake. The 32-year-old American won consecutive events before the beginning of the FedExCup playoffs, which allowed him to remain inside the top ten to collect a sizable paycheck during the final event of the 2021-22 PGA season.

Patrick Cantlay carded rounds of 70-66-66-70 to wind up going 16-under-par with a T7 finish at the 2022 PGA Tour Championship.

Fantasy Impact: Cantlay entered the weekend as the defending FedExCup champion but struggled to get his putter going, missing plenty of birdies to hold him out from making a legitimate run at first place on Sunday. Cantlay won the previous playoff event at Wilmington South CC during the BMW Championship event last weekend. It was his first solo win of the season but he defended his title at the second playoff event successfully.

Max Homa carded rounds of 71-62-66-66 to wind up scoring 17-under-par en route to a T5 finish at the 2022 PGA Tour Championship.

Fantasy Impact: Homa started slowly but set the East Lake course record with an eight-under-par finish in the second round. The 30-year-old Californian built off of this momentum and turned in rounds of four-under-par on Saturday and Sunday to climb into a top-five finish in the FedExCup playoffs. This yielded a $3 million purse.

Xander Schauffele carded rounds of 66-63-70-69 en route to a final score of 18-under-par and a fourth-place finish during the 2022 PGA Tour Championship.

Fantasy Impact: Schauffele was among the betting favorites to finally cement his legacy as the winner of the PGA Tour Championship and FedExCup playoffs but a lackluster final two rounds kept him out of a higher finish. The 28-year-old Californian earned two solo wins this season and was one of the best iron players on the entire PGA Tour.

Scott Scheffler carded rounds of 65-66-66-73 to wind up drawing a final score of 20-under-par en route to a T2 finish at the 2022 PGA Tour Championship.

Fantasy Impact: Scheffler appeared to have the FedExCup trophy on lock until a three-over meltdown on Sunday allowed Rory McIlroy to claim the top spot in the FedExCup standings. Scheffler was the breakout player of the year, winning four events and staying at No. 1 in the FedExCup for over 20 consecutive weeks. The 25-year-old American has some of the best touch around the green and will continue to dominate for years to come.

Sungjae Im carded rounds of 67-65-66-66 to wind up scoring 20-under-par and finishing T2 at the 2022 PGA Tour Championship.

Fantasy Impact: The 24-year-old South Korean continued playing an excellent brand of golf all weekend at East Lake.

Fantasy Impact: The 33-year-old McIlroy was dialed in on Sunday, sinking birdies and nailing greens in regulation to bypass Scottie Scheffler's poor performance on the back-nine. McIlroy won two events this season, including the PGA Tour Championship, meaning he is the FedExCup champion for the third time in his career. McIlroy takes him the $18 million purse and will begin preparing for the Ryder Cup next month.

Jon Rahm carded rounds of 73-70-65-67 en route to a final score of nine-under-par to yield a T8 finish at the 2022 BMW Championship.

Fantasy Impact: Rahm started terribly but he had arguably the best recovery of any player at Wilmington, going 11-under-par during his final two rounds.

Adam Scott carded rounds of 65-69-69-71 en route to a final score of 10-under-par to produce a T5 finish at the 2022 BMW Championship.

Fantasy Impact: Scott needed every bit of his performance to make the top 30 FedExCup rankings for next weekend at the final FedExCup playoff event. The 42-year-old Aussie faltered a bit on Sunday but he sunk an eagle putt on the 12th hole to rejuvenate his rankings and maintained par on some difficult lies down the stretch. Scott will start with a score of even par during the PGA Tour Championship next weekend.

Corey Conners carded rounds of 68-67-70-69 to produce a final score of 10-under-par with a T5 finish at the 2022 BMW Championship.

Fantasy Impact: Conners faded away a bit towards the latter half of the BMW Championship, however, he buried four birdies on the back-nine on Sunday to deliver a clutch finish for his FedExCup rankings for the PGA Tour Championship. The 30-year-old Canadian will be ranked T21 and start next weekend at one-under-par with the adjusted starting strokes format.

K.H. Lee carded rounds of 68-70-71-65 to wind up ten-under-par with a T5 finish at the 2022 BMW Championship.

Fantasy Impact: Lee was not having a very good outing until Sunday when he exploded for a six-under-par finale. The 30-year-old Korean mounted the ultimate comeback performance to sneak into the top 30 of the FedExCup playoffs. Lee will be ranked T26th, meaning he'll start at Even in the unique starting strokes format at East Lake GC for the PGA Tour Championship next weekend.

Scott Stallings carded rounds of 68-68-66-69 en route to a final score of 13-under-par to finish second place at the 2022 BMW Championship.

Fantasy Impact: Stallings only had one second-place finish since his last PGA Tour event win eight years ago, so competing with Patrick Cantlay down the stretch was an impressive feat. The 37-year-old American has a good putter and averages over four birdies per round. Stallings is ranked 12th in the FedExCup, meaning he'll start three-under-par in the adjusted starting strokes format.

Matt Fitzpatrick carded rounds of 68-66-67-68 en route to a T5 finish at 11-under-par during the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship.

Fantasy Impact: Harman started strong but didn't fade too hard, returning to three-under-par in the final round to climb four spots into a T3 finish. The 35-year-old American secured his second T3 finish and sixth T10 of the season at TPC Southwind and is now ranked 23rd in the FedExCup heading into the BMW Championship.

Lucas Glover carded rounds of 65-68-69-66 en route to a 12-under-par final score and a T3 finish at the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship.

The 42-year-old American earned just his second T10 finish of the season and reached a third place finish for the first time in 2022. Glover is now ranked 35th in the FedExCup and will be amongst 69 other players ranked inside the top 70 at the BMW Championship in Wilmington, Delaware.

Will Zalatoris fired rounds of 71-63-65-66 to wind up 15-under-par en route to a clutch playoff win at TPC Southwind during the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship.

Fantasy Impact: Zalatoris finally got the monkey off his back, leaving behind four runner-up finishes with a remarkably clutch three-hole playoff win over Sepp Straka. An incredible series of bounces on the third playoff at Hole 11 left Zalatoris with the opportunity to attempt another stroke from the drop-zone, resulting in an accurate iron shot that led to his birdie putt. Zalatoris started the weekend +1 but three masterful performances and a playoff win catapulted him over Scottie Scheffler to rank first place in the FedExCup entering the BMW Championship event next weekend.
