The PGA Tour's postseason kicks off in Memphis, Tennessee, at TPC Southwind for the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
Scottie Scheffler, No. 1 in the world and FedEx Cup Standings, highlights the field and will be joined by Xander Schauffele, Rory McIlroy, Collin Morikawa, Ludvig Aberg, Patrick Cantlay and Tommy Fleetwood, among others.
Defending champion Lucas Glover missed the cut at last week's Wyndham Championship and will now miss the postseason after failing to rise into the top 70.
The top 50 players in the FedEx Cup Standings come Sunday night will earn a spot in next week's BMW Championship at Castle Pines Golf Club in Denver.

Tommy Fleetwood (22/1)
It feels like I'm chasing a Fleetwood win at this point, but I'm in too deep now.
The Olympic silver medalist made 11 straight cuts before a missed weekend at The Open. During that span, Fleetwood tallied six top-20 finishes.
At last year's FedEx St. Jude Championship, the Englishman grabbed a share of third with Rory McIlroy, one shot out of the playoff. In 2019, when TPC Southwind hosted the WGC-FedEx St. Jude, Fleetwood finished T-4.
Hideki Matsuyama (25/1)
Going with another Olympic medalist.
Matsuyama didn't play well at the Scottish Open and Open, missing the cut and tying for 66th, respectively. However, the Japanese star totaled five top-15 finishes in an eight-event span between his win at the Genesis Invitational and traveling overseas.
Paris' bronze medalist has played well at TPC Southwind throughout his career, finishing inside the top 20 in his last three trips — 2020, 2021 and 2023 — including a runner-up effort in '21.
Sungjae Im (35/1)
Im was on the card last week for the Wyndham Championship, but couldn't put it all together and finished in a tie for 41st.
In four events before Sedgefield CC, Im finished T-7 (The Open), T-4 (Scottish Open), T-12 (John Deere Classic) and T-3 (Travelers Championship).
Last year at TPC Southwind, the Korean tied for sixth. Two years ago, he grabbed solo 12th.
Sahith Theegala (40/1)
A missed cut at The Open is sandwiched in between a T-4 finish at the Genesis Scottish Open and a T-6 effort at the 3M Open for Theegala over his last three starts.
The seventh-ranked player in the FedEx Cup Standings has finished T-13 in two previous trips to TPC Southwind (2023, 2022).
Jason Day (60/1)
Since missing the cut at the U.S. Open, Day's game has been trending in the right direction. He tied for 44th at the Travelers Championship, for 23rd at the John Deere Classic, for 13th at The Open and for ninth at the Olympics.
The Aussie, who enters the playoffs ranked 26th in the FedEx Cup Standings, finished T-6 at the 2020 WGC-FedEx St. Jude Invitational.
