The FedEx Cup Playoffs are underway — and we've got live updates
After 36 regular-season events, the PGA Tour has moved on to the FedEx Cup Playoffs. First up, the 2025 FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis.
The par-70, 7,288-yard course will host all but one of the top 70 golfers in the FedEx Cup standings. That includes the tournament's defending champion Hideki Matsuyama. No one has repeated at TPC Southwind since Daniel Berger did it in 2016-17.
You should know about a big name not in the field and that is one Rory McIlroy, who opted out. But the rest of the top 70 will be there, including No. 1 Scottie Scheffler, his first tournament since winning the Open Championship three weeks ago. Xander Schauffele (3), Justin Thomas (4) and Russell Henley (5) will also be there. Cameron Young, fresh off his first-ever PGA Tour win will also tee it up in Memphis. There is just one rookie who made the postseason and that's Aldrich Potgieter, who checks in at No. 43.
Follow along all day Thursday right here for live leaderboard updates, highlights, tee times, scores and more.

Tommy Fleetwood's lead slims in PGA Tour playoff opener, with Justin Rose, Scottie Scheffler among pursuers
'It's just another opportunity for me to go out and try and have the best round of golf I can, enjoy being in that position,' Fleetwood said. 'The more I put myself there, the more chance there is of it happening, and just go out and keep learning from every experience. But tomorrow might be my day, it might not, but being there is the most important thing, and I'll continue to try and do that.' Fleetwood, who has won plenty on big stages around the world but not on the PGA Tour, started the third round with a three-shot lead over Rose, who had to finish his storm-delayed second round in the morning. Advertisement On the par-5 third, Fleetwood's second shot came up short and into the water. He took his penalty drop, and then hit wedge over the green into a bunker. Fleetwood said he noticed his golf ball move ever so slightly on his swing with the wedge. Advertisement Rules officials studied the video and determined that if it moved — they couldn't determine if it did because it was so slight — Fleetwood didn't cause it and no penalty was issued. He made double bogey, and Rose ran off three straight birdies to take the lead. 'The third was just such a kerfuffle and such a mess,' he said. 'It was not that bad of a second shot, but it's obviously a terrible shot if it's in the water. From there, drop, sort of felt like the ball had moved when I hit it, thinned it over the back, just made a double for nothing really.' Fleetwood rebounded to not only regain the lead, but build it back to three shots. But on the 18th hole, he drove into the rough, couldn't reach the green, and made bogey to finish 54 holes at 14-under 196. Rose hit out of the rough to 5 feet from the front pin for his first birdie since the seventh hole. That gave him a 67 and put him in the final group with his Ryder Cup teammate. Scheffler, meanwhile, put together six birdies in his round of 65 and was two shots behind. He made his lone bogey on No. 10, and Scheffler avoided another when Scheffler, already assured of keeping the No. 1 seed in the FedEx Cup playoffs, is going for his fifth win of the year. He has not finished out of the top 10 since March. Advertisement Sunday is one of the more critical days on the PGA Tour, and not just for Fleetwood. The top 50 in the FedEx Cup advance to the second playoff event at the BMW Championship and are assured of getting into all the $20 million signature events next year. Rickie Fowler and Chris Kirk each had a 66 and were projected to move into the top 50, along with Bud Cauley and Jhonattan Vegas. Among those who could get bumped out are Jordan Spieth, who had to settle for another 70. Key for the players like Fowler and Cauley are staying high on the leaderboard because those are worth more points and they have more room to make up. For Fleetwood, it's about winning. He is No. 15 in the world. He has starred in two Ryder Cups for Europe and won against strong fields, but the lack of a PGA Tour title is becoming a burden. He had a one-shot lead on the final hole at the Travelers Championship in June until taking three putts from just off the green and His hope in June was to get another chance sooner rather than later, and his next one is Sunday at the TPC Southwind.
