2015 – Jordan Spieth
After one of the greatest years in the history of golf, Jordan Spieth claimed the FedEx Cup with a four shot win at the Tour Championship to sneak past Jason Day
Spieth won two majors and two PGA titles heading into the playoffs but was overtaken by Day after the Aussie won the Canadian Open, USPGA, The Barclays and BMW Championship. Spieth became the sixth man in a row to win both the Tour Championship and FedEx Cup.
2014 – Billy Horschel
Horschel won both the BMW Championship and and then the Tour Championship in successive weeks to claim the FedEx Cup and the $10m prize. He was the first man to win the trophy after starting outside the top 30 in the standings heading into the playoffs.
