Fun Facts From the 2022-2023 PGA TOUR Season

This weekend marks the official end of the 2022-2023 PGA TOUR season. The TOUR Championship is the final event of the PGA TOUR Playoffs for the FedEx Cup, with only the top 30 players on the points list qualifying. In 2022, Rory McIlroy rallied from six shots behind world No. 1 Scottie Scheffler to win the TOUR Championship and capture the FedEx Cup for the third time.

This year, McIlroy is starting only 3 back from Scheffler, who is world No. 1 again this year.

Can he do it again or will someone else take home the $18 million prize?
