Daniel Berger Out of FedExCup Playoff Opener Due to Injury
The PGA Tour playoff opener drops to 69 players as several notable golfers miss out and St. Jude fundraising remains central to tournament week.
- The 2026 FedEx St. Jude Championship begins Thursday at TPC Southwind in Memphis, featuring 69 players competing in the first of three FedExCup playoff events.
- Notable golfers including Brooks Koepka, Keegan Bradley, Jason Day, and Tony Finau failed to qualify for the playoffs, leaving the field at 69 participants instead of the usual 70.
- Competing in Memphis, Jordan Spieth needs a strong performance to break into the top 50 standings, a requirement to advance to the BMW Championship in St. Louis next week.
- Since 1970, the Memphis event has raised more than $86 million for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, with patients participating as Honorary Pin Flag Caddies during championship week.
- Advancement to the BMW Championship depends on finishing within the top 50, while the final top 30 qualifiers move to the Tour Championship at East Lake to determine the season champion.
