Jonge in FedEx Cup playoffs

ZIMBABWE’S leading professional golfer Brendon de Jonge faces a crucial period on the PGA Tour when he starts his campaign in the money-spinning $67 million FedEx Cup Playoffs starting at this week’s Barclays tournament at Ridgewood Country Club in Paramus, New Jersey in the United States.

After the Barclays, the top 100 players qualify for next week’s Deutsche Bank Championship, before the top 75 from that event qualify for the BMW Championship and the top 30 qualify for the playoff-final, The Tour Championship.

It is, however, not only the weekly prize-money, but the stunning bonuses for each player who has made it this far which will make it crucial for De Jonge to do well.
