Is Sam Burns Playing in the 2023 Tour Championship?

Sam Burns is having a great season so far in 2023. His run at the Memorial Tournament, Scottish Open, Wyndham Championship, and at last week’s St Jude Championship has been very impressive. Moreover, he secured his fifth PGA Tour win at the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play in March.

And he has been holding his own this week at the BMW Championship with an impressive record. With this good streak, one question arises. Will Sam Burns play at the next week’s Tour Championship?

Does Sam Burns stand a chance to play at the next week’s FedEx Cup?

Sam Burns entered the week on no. 30 in FedEx Cup points, which is the exact cutoff for the Tour Championship. Right now he has 1752 points and he will be earning more points from the ongoing BMW Championship.

Though Burns entered the event exactly on the edge perhaps improving his stats at the game could lead him to a higher position on the FedEx rankings. However, maintaining his current ranking would also allow him to easily the event next week.

The top 30 players at the BMW will advance to the Tour Championship next week which will be held at East Lake in Atlanta. The prize purse is $75 million and the winner’s share will be $18 million along with the FedEx Cup title.

His performance at BMW yesterday has been catching overall attention. After the third good round, he entered the fourth in the Top 10 ranks. Let’s take a look at his performance at the BMW this week.

Sam Burns enjoyed a breakthrough round on Saturday

After two mundane days, he enjoyed a bogey-free round On Saturday, yesterday he made a score of score of 62 (-8) and matched the record of Max Homa made on Friday. Burns expresses that he didn’t want to tie Homa but beat him. However, he will take what he gets. He has entered the fourth round in T7. Even if he finishes in the top 10 he would easily enter the next week’s event. However, he has also prepared his mind for the worst scenario as well.

He had said, “If I make it, great. If I don’t, I get to go home and be home an extra week. Whatever happens, I know the Lord has already planned it out, and I can be good with whatever happens.” But the odds are in his favor of playing at the Fed Ex Championship rather than staying home.
