With 2 wins in a row (The Masters and Griffith Observatory Championship) P-Jay Fidler jumped 3 spots up from where he stood in the standings following Devil Ball. Unfortunately a potential 3rd win in a row won’t be in the cards for Fidler as he’ll miss the season-ending Tour Championship. Current #1 Chris Moawad is poised to capture his first Player of the Year award in 6 years. But he’s certainly no stranger to the title of #1 having won the honor a record 6 times before. He enters this weekend’s Tour Championship as defending champion.
