The FedEx Cup was first contested in 2007 and, over the course of its short history, has created a fun and exciting way to end the PGA Tour season.
The format has changed three times over the years, remaining the same since 2009, but the changes are yet to produce a repeat champion. Tiger Woods is the only player to win the FedEx Cup twice, while Brandt Snedeker and Jordan Spieth are the only defending FedEx Cup champions to qualify for the Tour Championship -- and a chance to repeat -- in the year after winning the FedEx Cup.
