Edison, N.J.—After a fascinating golf season—full of evolving storylines—the final big push commences this Thursday with the start of the FedEx Playoffs. A field of 125 players will compete at The Barclays which serves as the opening trio of events leading to the grand finale—The Tour Championship at East Lake GC in Atlanta for the FedEx Cup in late September.
For the second time in four years, the Donald Ross design at Plainfield Country Club in the Garden State will serve as host. Unlike so many other courses played now on the PGA Tour that have been specifically created for hosting major golf events, Plainfield CC is one of the few classic-designed layouts—a throwback to a time when American golf came of age, with Ross being one of the lead architects.
