The Barclays will be played at Plainfield Country Club in Edison, N.J. The course, which also hosted the Barclays in 2011, will play as a par-70 measuring 7,012 yards for the 2015 event.

The top-125 players on the FedExCup points list qualified for the first leg of the FedExCup Playoffs, with 2,000 points on the line for the winner. After this week’s playoff event, the top 100 on the FedExCup points list will continue onto the Deutsche Bank Championship at TPC Boston.

EXPERT PICKS: THE BARCLAYS

EXPERT FANTASY TEAM PROJECTED CHAMPION COMMENT
HELEN ROSS Senior Writer Paul Casey Jason Day Brooks Koepka Justin Rose Paul Casey Quietly has put together a banner year. All the Englishman, who tied for third on a Donald Ross gem last week, needs is a win.
ROB BOLTON Fantasy Columnist Jason Day Dustin Johnson Brooks Koepka Justin Rose Jordan Spieth I’ve been out of starts for Spieth for weeks, but I’m where I want to be. With supercharged points, I’m throwing the kitchen sink at Helen.
JONATHAN WALL Equipment Insider Jason Day Dustin Johnson Brooks Koepka Justin Rose Jason Day Two wins in his last three starts, also posted a top-15 finish at Plainfield during the 2011 edition of The Barclays.
SEAN MARTIN Events Editor Dustin Johnson Justin Rose Jordan Spieth Robert Streb Justin Rose Has finished no worse than sixth in his past four starts, and was sixth the last time The Barclays visited Plainfield.
BRIAN WACKER Staff Writer Paul Casey Rickie Fowler Brooks Koepka Justin Rose Paul Casey He's got seven top 10s this season and is coming off a third-place finish. Casey is a fantastic ball-striker and is in form, both of which should mesh well at a classic venue.
MIKE MCALLISTER Managing Editor Paul Casey Brooks Koepka Justin Rose Bubba Watson Brooks Koepka Hard to believe he's won only once this year. Of his last 18 rounds, 16 have been in the 60s
D.J. PIEHOWSKI Digital Producer Brooks Koepka Hideki Matsuyama Justin Rose Brandt Snedeker Justin Rose Nothing but consistency this summer from one of the TOUR's most solid all-around players. Let's see more of the same this week.
DOUG BELL PGA TOUR Radio Brooks Koepka Matt Kuchar Justin Rose Will Wilcox Brooks Koepka Brooks Koepka is back where he was earlier this season in Phoenix, with 14 of last 16 rounds in the 60s. T6,T5, T6 in his last 3 starts.
JOHN SWANTEK Host, PGA TOUR LIVE Paul Casey Brooks Koepka Matt Kuchar David Lingmerth Matt Kuchar Flying off the radar a bit, but solid 26th in FedExCup. Knows how to win this time of year. Finished 2nd at Plainfield in 2011.
AMANDA BALIONIS Host, Trending on TOUR Luke Donald Brooks Koepka Brandt Snedeker Justin Thomas Justin Thomas Has been close so many times, can hit it a mile. I think the rookie breaks through this week.

Is Rory not playing due to his ankle injury or was this a planned week off knowing he had enough points?

Not sure, he just announced he wouldn't be playing last week. The ankle seemed fine at the PGA.

BTW, If Spieth doesn't finish 14th or better R ory returns to #1.

The comments on that article... yikes.

Would be fun to see Rory and Jordan flip the no. 1 spot week after week.

Phil and Bubba off to hot starts.

There's seriously no way to watch any of the morning coverage the first few days?

Thanks. It says it's not compatible with my android though. The PGA is terrible.

[pumaAttack]

Rough few holes for Jordan...

Bogey, bogey, Double.

Who says nobody cares about the PGA playoffs?!

Just look at this thread!

Dustin Johnson shot 19-under for 54 holes the last time this tournament was held at Plainfield. Based on what I've watched so far today, I doubt anyone will come within ten strokes to par of DJ's winning score in a full four rounds.

[harry hooker]

Finau going well. Bloke hits it a mile.

Problem for Spieth is motivation. After the run in the majors, this tournament doesn't have a lot of bearing. Still gonna be in prime position no matter what he does the next couple events.

If that's his attitude, he's going to have trouble going forward. Grinding it out even when you don't want to or have it is a hallmark of the best.

Hmm, wonder why Rory is not grinding it out?

It still tells me that it isn't allowed in my country...I'm in the U.S....I don't know. Thank you very much though.

Yeah something tells me this has nothing to do with it. I think the golf course just ate him up today. It happens. I don' think for a second it has anything to do with motivation. It's just golf.
