The top-five players in the FedExCup standings entering the TOUR Championship control their own destiny and will win the FedExCup title should they go on to victory at East Lake.

Henrik Stenson – No. 4 in the FedExCup, 9-under 131, 1st
Henrik Stenson, 2013 TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola and FedExCup champion, is ranked No. 4 in the FedExCup standings and guaranteed to win the FedExCup with a victory this week.
En route to his 2013 TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola victory, Stenson held a four-shot lead over Adam Scott after 36 holes at East Lake Golf Club.
Stenson has led or shared the lead through 36 holes in three previous PGA TOUR starts:
Year Tournament 36-hole score Finish
2006 PGA Championship 8-under 136 T14
2011 Children’s Miracle Network 12-under 132 T12
2013 TOUR Championship by Coca-Cola 10-under 130 1st
In six career rounds at East Lake Golf Club, Stenson has shot 64, 66, 69, 68, 63 and 68.
Stenson is the highest-ranked player in the FedExCup standings without a victory in the 2014-15 season. Two of his three runner-up finishes came in the first two FedExCup Playoffs events at The Barclays and the Deutsche Bank Championship.
Only three players have won the TOUR Championship wire-to-wire (no ties): Tom Watson (1987), Curtis Strange (1988) and Henrik Stenson (2013).
At the TOUR Championship in 2013, Stenson entered the final round with a four-shot advantage over Dustin Johnson and turned in a final-round 68 for a three-stroke, wire-to-wire victory over Jordan Spieth and Steve Stricker, securing the 2013 FedExCup. Stenson, a 39-year-old native of Gothenburg, Sweden, is the only European player to win the TOUR Championship as well as the only European to win the FedExCup.
Stenson is trying to join Tiger Woods as the only two-time FedExCup winner. Stenson would join Woods and Mickelson as the only players to win the TOUR Championship multiple times.
