What to watch during the chase for the FedEx Cup, including Ryder Cup spots

The PGA Tour's playoffs get underway on Thursday at the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, Tennessee, the first of three straight tournaments to determine the FedEx Cup champion.

Nearly all of the top 70 golfers in the seasonlong points standings will be chasing world No. 1 golfer Scottie Scheffler, who will attempt to become the first back-to-back winner of the FedEx Cup at the Tour Championship in Atlanta on Aug. 21-24.

"It's the time of year that everybody wants to be obviously peaking and playing their best," Justin Thomas said.
