FedEx Cup cut narrows to 50 as players battle for playoff survival in Memphis
The FedEx Cup Playoffs at TPC Southwind now limit advancement to the top 50, putting several stars on the brink of elimination.
The FedEx Cup Playoffs have begun at TPC Southwind in Memphis, where the field will be reduced to the top 50 players for the upcoming BMW Championship in St. Louis. Maverick McNealy now occupies the final qualifying position, while notable golfers such as Jordan Spieth, Max Homa and Jackson Koivun sit just outside the cut. Daniel Berger has withdrawn, leaving one fewer competitor in the field.
Advancing past this stage secures a large financial reward and entry into all eight 2027 marquee tournaments, offering a strategic advantage for the next season. The competition is a 72-hole, no-cut event, and the cutline determines who remains in contention for the FedEx Cup title.
Why it matters
The cut determines which golfers stay in the playoff race and earn significant prize money and future event entries.
