Justin Thomas, Patton Kizzire and Bubba Watson are the only two-time winners this season on the PGA Tour, and they comprise the top three spots this week in the FedExCup standings.
The next five positions are occupied by players with one triumph this season, with Phil Mickelson in fourth and followed by Dustin Johnson, Masters champion Patrick Reed, Jon Rahm and Justin Rose. Tony Finau, who dislocated his ankle during the Masters Par 3 contest but rebounded with a top-10 showing at Augusta National, is No. 9 in the FedExCup rankings, and last month’s Valspar Championship winner, Paul Casey, rounds out the top 10.

By tying for third at this past weekend’s RBC Heritage in Hilton Head, S.C., the former Baylor School and Vanderbilt University golfer continued the best season of his career by vaulting to No. 11 in the FedExCup rankings. The 33-year-old List also is 13th on the PGA Tour money list with $2,277, 395, having already surpassed the impressive $1,813,219 he earned last season when he finished 59th.
“To be near the top 10 in the FedExCup standings is exciting,” List said. “My goal is to compete at the highest level, which is where I believe I belong. Each week I continue to see positive growth in my game and attitude.
