11: Dustin Johnson is the first player in 11 years (Tiger Woods) to win the FedExCup after arriving at East Lake as the top seed.
3: Johnson could become the third player to win the FedExCup, end the season at No. 1 in the Official World Golf Ranking and be voted PGA TOUR Player of the Year in the same season. Player of the Year, which is voted on by the players, will be announced later this year. Woods (2007, ’09) and Jordan Spieth (2015) also did it.
23: This was Johnson’s 23rd PGA TOUR victory, which ranks 27th all-time.
30: Johnson has won 30% of his starts since the Return to Golf (3 of 10).

4: Johnson has won three or more titles in four of the past five seasons.
12: Johnson has qualified for East Lake for 12 consecutive years, the longest active streak on TOUR.
6: Johnson has finished inside the top five in the FedExCup six times.
