More: Why did Tiger Woods turn down LIV Golf?
The top 125 players in the FedEx Cup standings played the first of three playoff events at the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind.
The LIV Golf players were booted out. Other players, such as Bubba Watson, also resigned before the playoffs.
After the FedEx St. Jude Championship, only 70 players advance to the BMW Championship at Wilmington Country Club. The remaining 30 players make it to the Tour Championship at East Lake, where the winner will be crowned.
You may remember it was at East Lake where we saw the remarkable scenes of fans flocking behind Tiger Woods as he claimed his 80th PGA Tour victory in 2019.
