FedEx Cup Playoffs. Ben Jared

After Week 1 of the 2023 FedEx Cup Playoffs, 50 players are still alive and 20 are going home. Count Lucas Glover very much among those moving on as he claimed victory over Patrick Cantlay after one hole of sudden-death at the FedEx St Jude Championship, his second PGA Tour title in as many weeks as he quickly becomes a 11th-hour choice to claim the FedEx Cup title at the Tour Championship Aug. 24-27.

For all regular-season PGA Tour events, 500 FedEx Cups were awarded to the winner, with points also being earned by every player making the cut. In World Golf Championships and other “designated” events, 550 FedEx Cup points went to the winner, while 600 points were given to the champion of the four majors and the Players. Lastly, 300 points were given to the winner of any event played in the same week as a major or “designated” event.

Here is the updated FedEx Cup points list through St Jude, where the top 70 from the end of the regular season earned their PGA Tour cards for the 2024 season and compete at TPC Southwind. (Justin Thomas was the odd man out at No. 71, with another major winner, Adam Scott, at No. 72.) The top 50 in the points list after St. Jude advance to the second event, the BMW Championship outside Chicago at Olympia Fields. Those top 50 players also will qualify for the majority of the PGA Tour’s designated events for 2024. The top 30 after the BMW advance to the Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta where they compete for the FedEx Cup title and $75 million overall purse, with $18 million going to the eventual winner.

Following the core FedEx Cup season, official PGA Tour events will be conducted in the fall, where all players with status for the 2022-23 FedEx Cup season will be eligible to compete. Those outside of the top 70 will compete for FedEx Cup points to secure playing status for 2024.
