The PGA Tour's three-week run to crown a champion starts on Thursday at the FedEx-St. Jude Championship in Memphis.
On August 27, the FedEx Cup champion will be determined at the Tour Championship, but first the field has to be narrowed down from 70 to 30.
The top 70 golfers in the FedEx Cup standings enter Memphis needing to finish inside the top 50 in the standings to reach the BMW Championship.
The top 30 players after the BMW Championship will qualify for the Tour Championship, where the starting scores are determined by FedEx Cup positions.
