Atlanta: Besides the $10 million playoff bonus prize on offer at this week`s season-ending Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club, the world number one ranking held by Australian Jason Day is also at stake.
Should third-ranked American Spieth win the Tour Championship, he will return to number one if Day finishes outside the top five at East Lake.
Should second-ranked Northern Irishman McIlroy triumph, he will reclaim the number one spot if Day is outside the top 15 in the PGA Tour`s season-ending tournament.
Day, of course, could make it all academic by winning the 28-man event that concludes the FedExCup playoffs himself, a victory that would also bring the world number one the $10 million that goes to the overall points leader on the list.
The fascinating back-and-forth at the top of the rankings has so far continued for five successive weeks with a different person occupying the top spot.
Spieth and McIlroy traded places for four straight weeks before Day took over at the top on Monday.
