The PGA Tour’s FedExCup Playoffs are back, with only 70 players left to compete for this year’s championship title – and huge prize money. PGA Tour players have competed in 36 FedExCup events in 2024, including all four majors.

After the regular season is completed, this month’s playoffs will crown the final winner on September 1. Norwegian golfer Viktor Hovland is the reigning champion, while Rory McIlroy, who won in 2016, 2019 and 2022, has a good chance of winning and earning a significant amount of money.

While the biggest names in golf are looking to win the PGA Tour’s biggest prize, The Express brings you everything you need to know about the 2024 FedExCup Playoffs, including which players are currently in the lead and where you can watch the action.

The FedExCup is a season-long points competition on the PGA Tour. The top 70 players from the Wyndham Championship in August advanced to the first playoff event – ​​the FedEx St Jude Championship at TPC Southwind.

Following this tournament, the top 50 players qualify for the BMW Championship in Denver the following week. The top 30 advance to the final of the Tour Championship in Atlanta.

The FexExCup leader begins the Tour Championship at 10 under par, while the No. 2 player begins at 8 under par, No. 3 at 7 under par, No. 4 at 6 under par and No. 5 at 5 under par. Players 6-10 begin at 4 under par, players 16-20 at 2 under par, players 21-25 at 1 under par and players 26-30 at even par.

The Tour Championship is a 72-hole stroke play, meaning whoever is in the lead at the end wins the tournament and is crowned FedExCup champion.
