This marks Woods’ first occasion because missing the cut in the Open Championship at Northern Ireland and just his fifth tournament since winning the Masters in April. The previous time the Northern Trust was held at Liberty National was again back in 2013 when Adam Scott appeared victorious. Scott is +4000 to capture yet another success this time around.
The champion of the Northern Trust receives 2,000 FedExCup points, even since the playoffs sees the things quadrupled as players attempt to earn their way into East Lake in Atlanta in the Tour Championship and a shot in the $15-million prize. Just the best 70 players are eligible to start in Medinah second week, therefore 55 guys will find themselves outside the clip line ahead of the BMW Championship.
Bryson DeChambeau is back to defend his name after launching last season’s FedExCup playoffs with a win at the Northern Trust when it was held in Ridgewood Country Club. The American’s third-round 63 — which comprised eight birdies — gave him a four-shot lead before Sunday he parlayed to a snobby triumph.
The course, a 7,370-yard par 71, boasts one of the best skylines in clubs along with views of downtown New York City and the Statue of Liberty in the background. Around $300 million was put into the course to make it a prime destination to the PGA Tour on which used to become an industrial wasteland.
