THE race for the lucrative FedEx Cup draws to its exciting conclusion at the season-ending TOUR Championship from September 22-25.

Australians Jason Day and Adam Scott feature in the 30-man field for the final event of the four-tournament FedEx Cup playoffs, with both still in the hunt for the $US10 million bonus prize.

Scott is ranked third on the FedEx Cup points list heading into this week’s event at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta Georgia while Day is fourth. Both would win the FedEx Cup with victory in the TOUR Championship but world No.1 Day has to overcome a back injury that forced him to withdraw from last week’s BMW Championship.

American Dustin Johnson won the penultimate event of the year and leads the FedEx Cup standings, while he’s also closing in on Day’s top ranking. Johnson’s countryman Patrick Reed sits in second, with Englishman Paul Casey and superstars Rory McIlroy and Jordan Spieth – last year’s TOUR Championship winner – other leading contenders for FedEx Cup glory.
