The PGA Tourâs postseason is set to begin in Memphis, with the FedEx St. Jude Championship bringing together the top players in the FedExCup race for the opening event of the 2026 FedExCup Playoffs.
TPC Southwind will host the tournament from August 13-16, with a $20 million purse and 750 FedExCup points on the line.
The field is determined by the FedExCup standings following the conclusion of the regular season at the Wyndham Championship, setting up a high-stakes week as players attempt to keep their seasons alive and advance deeper into the playoffs.
The field features plenty of star power, led by Scottie Scheffler, who enters the playoffs at No. 1 in the FedExCup standings. Scheffler has won just once this season but has finished runner-up five times, including in his most recent start at the 3M Open.
Rory McIlroy will also return to TPC Southwind after skipping the tournament last year. The Masters champion has not competed since The Open Championship and enters the postseason outside the top 10 in the standings for the first time since 2021.

Scottie Scheffler finished first in FedExCup points over the course of the PGA Tour's regular season and was rewarded handsomely.
Scheffler, who has topped the regular-season standings in four of the last five years, earned a $10 million bonus from the Tour. The money is unofficial and doesn't count towards his season earnings — but it's $10 million.
The bonus pool pays out $20 million across the top 10 finishers. There is also a near $100 million in bonus money — not counting official earnings — during the playoffs (details below).

The top 70 players in the FedExCup standings get to tee off at the FedEx St. Jude Championship next week in Memphis.
Entering the Wyndham Championship, the bubble was as tight as ever with a little more than 100 points separating the 65th and 80th ranked players.
Following Friday's cut, some big moves were made on a rainy Saturday at Sedgefield Country Club.
Golf Channel is tracking how these players are doing at the end of each round, with a look at their current FedExCup position, where they stand at the Wyndham and their projected FEC ranking.

Brooks Koepka has failed to qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs following his dramatic return to the PGA Tour.
Koepka controversially rejoined the PGA Tour from LIV Golf at the start of the season, making use of the new Returning Member Program.
But his regular season has now come to an end after the Wyndham Championship, where he finished in a tie for 67th place.
That result means he hasn't done enough to finish in the top 70 for next week's FedEx St. Jude Championship, which kicks off the PGA Tour playoffs.
Koepka has since offered a brutally honest ******* sment following his exit, with his candidness now drawing plenty of praise from golf fans.

Keegan Bradley's season came to an end Sunday with a 2-under 68 at the Wyndham Championship. Bradley began the week 72nd in FedExCup points and is projected to remain outside the playoff cutline.
That ends a run of 15 consecutive appearances in the playoffs, which was the longest-active streak after Jason Day missed the cut this week to snap his stretch of 18 straight.
"Yeah, it was a tough year. It was a tough – it's been a tough like year and a half," Bradley said. "I'm looking forward to getting home and resetting and coming out next year a little fresher maybe. I got off to such a terrible start this year. Next year hopefully will be better."
Coming off a year in which he won once and captained the U.S. Ryder Cup team, Bradley missed three of his first five cuts in 2026 and didn't have a finish better than T-12 all season.
He needed a low score Sunday at Sedgefield Country Club to have a shot at Memphis, and birdied Nos. 5, 6, 8 and 9. Unfortunately, he also made double bogey at the par-3 seventh. The back nine consisted of two birdies and two bogeys, including a dropped shot at the last.

Brooks Koepka is, understandably, frustrated.
Koepka officially wrapped up his first season back on the PGA Tour on Sunday with a final-round 70 at the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina. When he hit the clubhouse, he was tied for 68th at 3-under on the week, nearly 20 shots back from the leaders at the time.
That finish means that Koepka, a five-time major championship winner who once topped the Official World Golf Rankings, will miss out on the FedExCup Playoffs entirely. Koepka is projected to finish well back from the top 70 in the season-long standings list. Only the top 70 in the FedExCup standings will make it into the field for next week's FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, which is the first of the three playoff events.
"I think it's pretty pathetic that I can't get through," Koepka said after his round at Sedgefield Country Club. "[I've had] zero top 10s basically in two years. To be in the prime of your career and be as good as I think I am, I think that's very pathetic, disappointing."
Brooks Koepka returned to the PGA Tour earlier this year after a split with LIV Golf.

After failing to advance to the FedExCup Playoffs, Brooks Koepka did not mince words.
"I think it's pretty pathetic that I can't get through," Koepka said after carding an even-par 70 Sunday morning at Sedgefield Country Club to wrap up a 74-70 weekend at the Wyndham Championship.
Koepka shared 70th place when he finished his round, well shy of the minimum solo-fourth performance he needed to move inside the top 70 and qualify for next week's FedEx St. Jude Championship.
"Ball-struck it great," Koepka said. "It's just all on the greens. I don't know what the deal is, got zero confidence, can't putt. I don't know. There's going to be a lot of changes here soon."
Entering the Wyndham ranking 116th in strokes gained putting, Koepka was 68th out of 81 players who made the cut this week.

GREENSBORO, N.C. — Beau Hossler handled a half-dozen tough par putts and two rain delays Saturday for a 4-under 66 that gave him a share of the lead with Michael Brennan going into the final round of the Wyndham Championship with postseason berths at stake.
Hossler is No. 122 in the FedExCup, knowing his only mathematical chance to be among the top 70 to advance to playoffs is to win for the first time on the PGA Tour.
Brennan, who went from the PGA Tour Americas to a PGA Tour card by winning the Bank of Utah Championship last fall, made a birdie putt from 15 feet on the last hole for a 63.
They were at 16-under 194, one shot ahead of Scottish Open winner Tom Kim (63), and two shots clear of 44-year-old Alex Noren and Alex Smalley, who each shot 65.
Such is the nature of the final regular-season tournament — and the stakes — that nine of the top 10 players on the leaderboard shot 66 or lower on Saturday.

There's a lot on the line, aside from the $8.5 million purse, at the Wyndham Championship in Greensboro, North Carolina, this week.
Players in the field have their final chance to climb the FedExCup standings, in hopes of making it into the top 70 to compete in the playoffs.
For Cameron Young, it's also a welcome return to Sedgefield Country Club where he earned his first victory on Tour. He's in the field looking for a repeat and an opportunity to knock Matt Fitzpatrick out of his number two spot in the FedExCup rankings.
Jackson Koivun is looking to add another win in his brief career or at least a very good finish to help qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs.
Golf Channel and Golf Channel mobile will be broadcasting and streaming Round 2 coverage of the Wyndham Championship from 3-6 p.m. ET on Friday.

While it's hard to believe that the PGA Tour's regular-season finale is upon us at the Wyndham Championship, there's still plenty to play for in Greensboro, North Carolina.

Cameron Young is back at Wyndham to defend his ****** le and said he hopes to make a final push in the FEC standings as well. The Player of the Year candidate is the favorite to repeat this week and take home his third victory on the PGA Tour this year.

BLAINE, Minn. — As Yogi Berra once said, it's getting late early on the PGA Tour.
Only three weeks remain in the regular season of the FedEx Cup; only 70 players move on to the playoffs. Heading into this week's 3M Open, Keegan Bradley and Brian Harman are among the 22 players that made the playoffs last season and are currently outside the top 70 of the 2026 FedExCup standings. Bradley, who ranks 77th, made it all the way to East Lake and the Tour Championship and had done so three straight seasons, finishing 16th while Harman, currently No. 78, wasn't far behind him at No. 18. Both are in the field this week at TPC Twin Cities and looking to improve their position. Another player on the list, Denny McCarthy, who enters the week at No. 97, summed up the challenge ahead: "Gotta play good golf now, no ifs ands or buts about it." Here's a look at the full list of the 22 on the outside looking in.
