The postseason gets underway this week with players fighting to climb inside the top 50
The 2024 postseason is upon us as the PGA Tour travels to TPC Southwind to kick off the FedEx Cup Playoffs for the third straight season. The St. Jude Championship will play host to the top 70 players from the regular season with the field set to trim by 20 names ahead of next week's BMW Championship. 52 Nick Taylor 969 55 Justin Rose 881 57 Viktor Hovland 854 62 Min Woo Lee 783
The St. Jude Championship marks a crucial cut-off point for PGA Tour members. Those who qualify for the BMW Championship — i.e. finish inside the top 50 by week's end -- will not only head West for the tournament but immediately be cleared to participate in every PGA Tour signature event for the 2025 season.
Those in jeopardy of not qualifying for those tournaments include former FedEx Cup champion Jordan Spieth, young superstar Min Woo Lee, former U.S. Open champion Justin Rose and a couple winners from this season in Nick Dunlap and Nick Taylor. Reigning FedEx Cup champion Viktor Hovland will be a fixture at those tournaments due to his spot in the Official World Golf Rankings, but the Norwegian finds himself in a dire position heading into Memphis.
