The first FedEx Cup playoff event of 2025 is in the books and Justin Rose came away with a thrilling win at the FedEx St. Jude Championship that needed its own playoff to be completed. Rose surged past Tommy Fleetwood down the stretch of the back nine in regulation and then outlasted U.S. Open champion J.J. Spaun to emerge with the trophy.

The event in Memphis, Tennessee also served as a cut down for the BMW Championship in Owings Mills, Maryland beginning on Thursday, Aug. 14, which serves as the second playoff event before the Tour Championship in East Lake, Georgia. The top 50 in the FedEx Cup points standings after the conclusion of the FedEx St. Jude Championship qualified to play in the BMW Championship.

Only the top 30 in FedEx Cup points after the BMW Championship will play in the Tour Championship, which starts Aug. 21. The player with the lowest stroke total over 72 holes at the Tour Championship will win the FedExCup and earn a bonus of $10 million. Scottie Scheffler still holds a commanding lead, and Rory McIlroy – even though he chose to skip the St. Jude Championship – remains second in points this year.
