After 36 weeks of regular season play, we’ve finally arrived at the 2020-21 Charles Schwab Cup Playoffs where a Schwab Cup champion will be crowned over the next three events. The first leg of the Playoffs is the Dominion Energy Charity Classic in Richmond, Virginia. The top 72 on the Schwab Cup Points List have qualified. Points are now worth double.

The winner this week will earn $300,000, which is the equivalent of 600,000 points. For perspective, Bernhard Langer enters the Playoffs at No. 1 on the points list and his lead on Jim Furyk, No. 2, is just 71,194 points. Even Ernie Els at No. 5 is within 600,000 points of Langer so a win this week for Els could vault him to No. 1. Phil Mickelson, who outdueled Mike Weir on the final day last year at the Dominion Energy Charity Classic, is back to defend. Mickelson is going for his fourth PGA TOUR Champions win in five starts.
