Along with the FedExCup, the PGA Tour’s Player of the Year award is up for grabs this week at East Lake Golf Club.
At the moment, Justin Thomas is the odds-on favorite to win his second career Jack Nicklaus trophy. The 27-year old Kentucky native is the Tour’s only three-time winner and its money leader.
However, top-5 ranked stars Jon Rahm, Dustin Johnson, Webb Simpson, and Collin Morikawa each have won twice this season.

A FedExCup victory by Thomas would clearly clinch the MVP trophy as well. But so would a win by either Rahm, Johnson, Simpson, or Morikawa, as each would match Thomas’ three, with the FedExCup acting as the tiebreaker.
MVP Outcomes
- Justin Thomas Wins MVP if he wins Tour Championship
or if the winner is not Jon Rahm, Dustin Johnson, Webb Simpson, and Collin Morikawa - Jon Rahm Wins MVP if he wins Tour Championship
- Dustin Johnson Wins MVP if he wins Tour Championship
- Webb Simpson Wins MVP if he wins Tour Championship
- Collin Morikawa Wins MVP if he wins Tour Championship
