3:13 Rahm snatched an incredible victory over Johnson at the BMW Championship
Justin Thomas – leader of the regular season standings – will begin three strokes back in third ahead of Webb Simpson, a two-time winner this campaign, while recent major champion Collin Morikawa rounds off the top five after his victories at the Workday Charity Open and the PGA Championship.
The next five in the standings will all start on four under and six behind, with Daniel Berger – winner of the PGA Tour’s first event from its coronavirus-enforced stoppage in June – joined in that quintet by Harris English, Bryson DeChambeau, Sungjae Im and Hideki Matsuyama.
Brendon Todd’s two early-season victories puts him in 11th spot and in the group of five players on three under that also includes Patrick Reed and McIlroy, who may miss the season finale due to the birth of his first child.
Joaquin Niemann and Mackenzie Hughes were the only two players to jump inside the top-30 with their finishes at the BMW Championship, with Niemann rising from 31st to 18th after ending the week tied-third and Hughes going from 36th to 28th following a tied-10th finish.
