Jon Rahm, Cameron Smith, Patrick Cantlay, Justin Thomas, Collin Morikawa, Jordan Spieth, Harris English, Bryson DeChambeau and Abraham Ancer round out the top 10 in the points standings ahead of play this week. Among those eyeing the top 30 bubble with interest is Rory McIlroy, currently No. 28 in the standings, who will need a strong week at Caves Valley to tee off at East Lake.

Last year’s BMW Championship featured a thrilling playoff Rahm and Dustin Johnson. Rahm won at Olympia Fields after a 66-foot birdie bomb, but DJ had the last laugh winning the Tour Championship.

The BMW winner will earn a prize money payout of $1.71 million share of the $9.5 million purse. He’ll also receive 2,000 FedEx Cup points.

There are now just eight rounds left in the 2020-21 PGA Tour season. This week's BMW Championship marks the second FedEx Cup Playoffs event, and for the first time in nearly six decades, the Tour is heading back to the Baltimore area at Caves Valley Golf Club.

Caves Valley should feature well on television, and any time you have have 70 of the best players in the world teeing it up, you're going to get a great leaderboard. Throw in some mega-gettable holes early on this course, and there's plenty to watch for on the course. There's also plenty to watch for off of it with FedEx Cup standings shifting around and Ryder Cup points being finalized.

Jon Rahm comes in as the preeminent storyline as he's been (by far) the best player in the world for several months now and narrowly missed out on a playoff last week at The Northern Trust. He's the heavy favorite, and he should be. But he's not the FedEx Cup leader. That would be Tony Finau, who bested Rahm and everyone else last week in the first round of these playoffs. Whether he can maintain that lead and start the Tour Championship at 10 under next week is another big narrative as the golf unfolds this week.
