The PGA Tour's FedEx Cup Playoffs are down to 50 players.
After the first leg, last week's FedEx St. Jude Classic, the survivors will go to St. Louis and the Bellerive Country Club to play the BMW Championship Aug. 20-23. It's the first time the Tour has been to Bellerive since 2008, when Camilo Villegas beat Dudley Hart by two shots in a battle of former Florida Gators.
There's one more stop after this week: the Tour Championship at the East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta, where the top 30 on the points list after the BMW will play for the biggest single purse and first-place check in golf.
The FedEx Cup was created in 2007 to give the PGA Tour something it had never had: a postseason. At first there four playoff events but that has been whittled down to three. The playoffs originally began the week before Labor Day but now they end before the final holiday weekend of the summer.
Points are awarded based on a player's finish in a tournament and the category of that tournament, using a sliding scale based on their position.
