FedEx St. Jude Championship: How to watch, schedule, tee times originally appeared on NBC Sports Boston
Who’s ready for some postseason golf?
Amid a crazy year featuring four majors, Tiger Woods’ return and a new league in LIV Golf, the PGA Tour season has reached the playoffs.
The three-week FedEx Cup Playoffs will kick off on Thursday with the 2022 FedEx St. Jude Championship. From there, the playoffs will continue with the BMW Championship the following weekend and end with the Tour Championship later this month.
The FedEx Cup Playoffs feature a progressive cut, meaning the field will shrink with each playoff event. Only 30 golfers will make the Tour Championship, where they will compete in a “Starting Strokes” system to determine a champion.
Scottie Scheffler sits atop the playoff standings after compiling four PGA Tour wins in 2022, including his first at the Masters. He is followed by British Open winner Cameron Smith in second. Defending playoff champion Patrick Cantlay is fifth place in the standings entering this year’s postseason.
Tony Finau, who is seventh in the standings, claimed victory at the first event of last year’s playoffs. That was the Northern Trust, though, and he has never won at the course he is competing at this weekend.
Here’s everything to know when the playoffs commence on Thursday:
