Summary
McIlroy opens the FedExCup Playoffs this week at TPC Southwind ranked 12th, chasing a record-extending fourth title after a light post-Masters schedule.
Only the top 50 after the 69-man FedEx St. Jude Championship advance to next week's BMW Championship, with the top 30 then reaching the Tour Championship.
The first two playoff events award 750 points to each winner, before points reset to zero for the Tour Championship under the format adopted in 2025.
Scottie Scheffler and defending champion Justin Rose headline the field with McIlroy, while 21-year-old Jackson Koivun arrives after securing a playoff berth in five starts, matching Tiger Woods' mark.
Beyond the $10 million FedExCup prize, playoff progress also brings 2027 tour-card security, signature-event access and major-championship benefits for those who reach the final 30.
