Xander schauffele's FedEx Cup Wins

Xander Schauffele has not yet won a FedEx Cup as of April 2025. However, he did win the 2017 Tour Championship but was defeated in the FedEx points list by Justin Thomas. Before 2019, these two events were separate from each other and could have individual winners.

But to avoid this situation, in 2019, the Tour Championship’s format added the “Starting Strokes” system, which gave a starting score of 10 under to the leader of the FedEx Cup Standings and 8 under to the second ranking and so on to the 25th, with even scores from 26th to 30th. This is to ensure that the FedExCup leader has an advantage and that one clear winner is crowned for both the Tour Championship and the FedExCup.
