“It seems to be set up to where you believe no matter where you sit when you start this event that you can win the FedEx Cup, and I think that sitting in, I don’t know what I’m at, the 17th or 18th position, that’s obviously great,” Spieth said. “If I was at No. 1, I’d be like, well, I think it’s easier from the old way.
“Given my situation this week where I stand currently, I’m excited to go out there on one of my favorite tracks that we play all year and get started.”

The 2021 Tour Championship was Spieth’s first appearance at the event since it changed to the staggered start (he tied for 20th).
In 23 starts this season, the Texan collected six top 10s, two runner ups and a win at the RBC Heritage a week after missing the cut at the Masters.
