The Glen Oaks Club in Old Westbury hosts the tournament, which is the first of four in the FedExCup series that culminates with the Tour Championship. "It's a big-hitters golf course, wider fairways with extremely thick rough and big greens," British Open champion Jordan Spieth said about the course on New York's Long Island. Hideki Matsuyama of Japan heads the points starting the playoffs, with 125 players qualifying for the first event. The field is then cut to 100 for the second event, 70 for the third, and 30 for the season-ending Tour Championship in Atlanta. Johnson, fourth in the standings, has set a goal of being in the top five entering the Tour Championship in Atlanta.
