FedEx Cup Standings 2026, Points Leaderboard Before BMW Championship

Scottie Scheffler enters the BMW Championship with an overwhelming lead in the FedEx Cup standings.

Scheffler owns a 1,447-point advantage over Matt Fitzpatrick. That means even if Fitzpatrick wins in St. Louis, he'd come nowhere close to matching Scheffler's overall point total.

The true focus of the week will be the FedEx Cup standings cut line. The top 30 golfers in the standings after the BMW Championship move on to the Tour Championship next week.

Two points currently separate Rickie Fowler in 30th and Gary Woodland in 31st. Five other golfers are within 100 points of Fowler.

FedEx Cup Standings

  1. Scottie Scheffler - 4,873 points
  2. Matt Fitzpatrick - 3,426
  3. Cameron Young - 3,183
  4. Si Woo Kim - 2,701
  5. Wyndham Clark - 2,542
  6. Sam Burns - 2,416
  7. Chris Gotterup - 2,288
  8. Tommy Fleetwood - 2,247
  9. Collin Morikawa - 2,242
  10. Ludvig Aberg - 2,130

Scheffler's last week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship created a lead in the FedEx Cup standings that no one can touch.

The BMW Championship is the last points-earning event of the season. The Tour Championship next week is a straight-up stroke-play tournament for the title.

The top 10 golfers in the standings all have over 2,000 points and are mathematically safe to advance to next week.

The real drama will come from the bottom part of the standings, where there is only a two-point gap on the cut line between Fowler and Woodland.

J.T. Poston, Nicolai Hojgaard, Alex Noren, Jake Knapp and Robert MacIntyre are all within 100 points of Fowler.

The BMW Championship winner receives 750 FedEx Cup points, second place gets 500 points, third place gets 350, fourth place earns 325 and fifth place takes home 300.

If anyone of the golfers inside the cut line, or right below it, earn a high finish, it would cause a big shake-up in the FedEx Cup standings.

There's not much past course history to rely on for Bellerive Country Club. The course last hosted the PGA Championship in 2018. The BMW Championship typically rotates host courses.

The 2018 PGA was eight years ago, but Fowler and Woodland did both shoot three rounds in the 60s at Bellerive that week.

Noren and Knapp both posted top-10 finishes last week, so they might be the golfers to back on form when it comes to jumping into the top 30.

Regardless of which players finish in the top 30, the names above and below the cut should change throughout the tournament with it being so close.
