FedExCup Update: FedExCup Playoffs begin this week

TOUR Championship returns to East Lake Golf Club over Labor Day Weekend


ATLANTA – The PGA TOUR Regular Season came to a close on Sunday with Aaron Rai winning the Wyndham Championship for his first career TOUR victory. Only the TOUR’s top 70 players move on to the FedExCup Playoffs, which begin this week at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, Tennessee. The top 50 will move on to the BMW Championship in Denver before the final 30 earn their trip to the newly restored East Lake Golf Club and the TOUR Championship, August 28 – September 1.

Scottie Scheffler takes the No. 1 spot in the standings into the Playoffs, having collected six victories during the regular season, including his most recent title at the 2024 Travelers Championship. Two weeks ago, Scheffler won gold representing the United States of America in the 2024 Men’s Olympic Golf Competition. He is trailed by Xander Schauffele (No. 2) and three-time FedExCup Champion Rory McIlroy (No. 3).

Among the top 30 looking to maintain their position over the first two weeks of the Playoffs include UGA products Russell Henley (No. 13), Sepp Straka (No. 18), Brian Harman (No. 20), Davis Thompson (No. 24) and Chris Kirk (No. 28).

Matt Kuchar, a former Georgia Tech Yellow Jacket, entered the season with a streak of 17 consecutive seasons qualifying for the Playoffs, but that streak was snapped on Sunday after finishing No. 103 in the FedExCup.

The TOUR Championship will make a return to Labor Day weekend in 2024, with tournament dates set for Aug. 28 – Sept. 1, as the PGA TOUR’s top 30 players compete in the FedExCup Playoffs finale for their chance to win the FedExCup and the season title.
