If any of those top five win manage to the Playoff finale, they are mathematically guaranteed a FedExCup victory. A FedExCup win also comes with a $10 million bonus. For Spieth, this would be his second FedExCup victory in three years. 

Spieth would also become the second golfer to win the FedExCup more than once after Tiger Woods won in 2007 and 2009. However with the depth in the field and tight competition, we could see the trophies split. One golfer could win the Tour Championship, but another could win the FedExCup.

This hasn't happened since 2009 when Tiger Woods won the FedExCup and Phil Mickelson won the Tour Championship. It would be a lot less-awkward if the trophies split in 2017 between the likely 24-year-old duo of Spieth and Thomas.

However, eight of the last 10 FedExCup champions of this event did not make it back to East Lake this year.

PGA Tour Championship: Updates, highlights

Follow along below with Round 4 updates from the Tour Championship at East Lake:

Thomas ties Xander at -11. 

Henley finishes at -10.

Thomas now holds second place at 10-under thru 16. Xander still at -11.

Kisner and Casey both bogey 15. Kisner moves to -9 and Casey to -8. 

Kisner and Casey both find the water on 15. JT has a shot now to take the lead.

JT birdies 16 to get within one shot of the lead. 

Spieth just misses his birdie putt on 18. He finishes at 7-under and second in FedExCup projected standings.

Risky move, but with everything on the line Spieth takes an aggressive shot. 

All for this.

Roller coaster ride for Xander in his rookie season.

A birdie from JT puts him tied for the lead and projected to win the FedExCup.

Casey falls to -9 with three bogeys, now two shots back from the lead.

Spieth is charging on the back nine, and for a good reason. 

Sergio Garcia has four birdies on a bogey-free round so far. He moves to -7, also four strokes back from the leader.

Another chance for JT to make history today.

There are now eight players within four shots of the lead.

Casey falls back to -11. Not a good thing when you have JT and Rahm chasing you.

Spieth holes out for an eagle just after making the turn. He's right back in it at -7.

DJ's aim is dead-on. 

And the scenarios keep on coming. Here's how the final group can win the $10 million...

Spoke too soon. Spieth's in some trouble after his tee shot lands way right of the fairway on the 5th hole.

He's got a lot of work to do, but this is the start Spieth needs.
