The 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs get underway this Thursday at the St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis. The St. Jude features a field of 70 players, and no cut, with the top 50 players in the FedEx Cup standings qualifying for next week’s BMW Championship, which is the second leg of the playoffs.

The FedExCup Playoffs are set with the top 70 players in the year-long standings vying to win the Tour Championship at East Lake in a few weeks. Things kick off on Thursday with the 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship, the first leg of the playoffs at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tenn.

In an effort to reduce his overall workload on the season, Masters champion Rory McIlroy decided not to play in this week's St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. As such, the first leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs will run with 69 of the top 70 players in the world -- McIlroy the lone missing piece from the start of the three-week postseason.
