Scottie Scheffler and Justin Rose open the postseason at TPC Southwind, Memphis; 69 players, no cut

The PGA Tour Playoffs open at TPC Southwind on 13 August with 69 players, no cut and 20 spots set to disappear by Sunday night. Scottie Scheffler leads the standings; Justin Rose defends his crown.

The FedExCup Playoffs, the PGA TOUR's three-tournament postseason golf competition, kick off this weekend (13-16 August) with the St. Jude Championship.

Held at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee, the St. Jude Championship provides the first reduction of a field that has been narrowing all year: only the 70 players highest in the season-long FedExCup points standings qualified, and only the top 50 will go on to the BMW Championship.

Players bank FedExCup points at every tournament they enter through the season, and those totals carry into the Playoffs rather than resetting.

There is no halfway cut, so all 69 in the field this week — Daniel Berger declined his place at No.60 — play all four rounds at TPC Southwind, and where they finish on Sunday decides whether they move on.

The top 50 travel to the BMW Championship at Bellerive Country Club from 20–23 August. The 30 left standing after that reach the TOUR Championship at East Lake in Atlanta, where $10 million goes to the FedExCup champion on 30 August.

Stars to watch at the FedEx St. Jude Championship

Scottie Scheffler arrives at No.1 on 4,123 points, though the season behind that figure has been unusual for him: one win, plus nine top-five finishes and four runner-up results, including a play-off loss to Viktor Hovland at the Travelers Championship. The Paris 2024 champion is chasing a second FedExCup, which would put him alongside Tiger Woods and Rory McIlroy as the only multiple winners.

Justin Rose defends the title he won here in a three-hole play-off against J.J. Spaun , a victory that made him, at 45, the TOUR's oldest winner since 2021. He starts the week 24th.

The regular season's only three-time winners are close behind. Matt Fitzpatrick is second on 3,329 points, one of those wins coming at the Zurich Classic alongside brother Alex Fitzpatrick , who is 19th in his own right; Chris Gotterup is fifth. Between them sit Cameron Young in third and U.S. Open champion Wyndham Clark in fourth.
