Jordan Spieth has reached the PGA Tour postseason for the 14th consecutive year, achieving this feat without having a single top-10 finish in any of his 21 tournaments. Spieth finished the regular season at No. 54 in the FedEx Cup, largely due to four top-12 finishes, including the Masters and two signature events.

These four top-12 finishes accounted for 52% of his FedEx Cup points. Spieth played in all eight signature events this year, receiving only two exemptions. He now needs to move into the top 50 after the first playoff event to qualify for the BMW Championship, which would secure his spot in all the signature events next year.
Meanwhile, Adam Scott had a successful season, playing six signature events and earning 895 of his 1,218 points in the FedEx Cup. Scott starts the postseason at No. 29, assured of advancing to the BMW Championship.
