Rory McIlroy lone omission from FedEx St. Jude commitment list
Rory McIlroy will not play.
The PGA Tour released Friday the commitment list for the FedEx St. Jude Championship, which is reserved for the top 70 players in points following the Wyndham Championship. McIlroy currently ranks second in the FedExCup, so he's mathematically clinched his position in the 30-man Tour Championship, let alone the 50-man BMW Championship.
With McIlroy's omission, 69 players will compete at TPC Southwind starting on Thursday. There are no alternates for playoff events. The final few spots will be finalized after the Wyndham, with the expectation of a couple players moving in and out of the top 70.
McIlroy finished second-to-last at last year's playoff opener in Memphis, which came after his T-3 the previous season.
This will be the fourth notable tournament McIlroy has skipped this season, following signature events The Sentry, RBC Heritage and Memorial Tournament.
Despite having not teed it up since The Open and logging just 14 starts this season, McIlroy is set to collect $10 million on Sunday evening, $6 million via the Comcast Business Tour Top 10 and another $4 million from the restructured FedExCup bonus payout.

What our Post expert thinks for the Wyndham Championship A five-stroke lead going into Sunday feels safe, but we've certainly seen crazier things happen on a golf course. Young has never won a PGA Tour title, so he'll be feeling plenty of pressure even with his chunky lead and just 18 holes to go. New customers in AZ, CO, CT, DC, IA, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, MI, NC, NJ, OH, PA, TN, VT, VA, WV, or WY only. Must apply this promotion in your bet slip and place a $1+ cash wager with odds of -500 or longer each day for 10 straight days. Your 10 days begin the day you establish your account. Wager must settle as a loss to qualify for FanCash. FanCash will equal the amount of the losing wager(s) (up to $100 in FanCash per day) and expire 7 days from issuance.
