Adam Scott is making his 2017 PGA Tour debut this week at the Genesis Open, but he’s already thinking about his schedule come late summer, when he might be taking a week off during the FedEx Cup playoffs.

Scott and his wife, Marie, are expecting their second child in August, and the delivery may coincide with The Northern Trust, formerly known as The Barclays and the first event of the PGA Tour’s postseason.

“Hopefully I can play well enough to afford it,” said Scott.

The Aussie has made it through the FedEx Cup playoffs and to the Tour Championship in six of the last seven seasons.

In 2015, Scott skipped the Tournament of Champions to prepare for the birth of his first child, a daughter born in February of that year.
