Scottie Scheffler leads group of 70 golfers entering FedEx St. Jude Championship

Scheffler is the man to beat entering the 2024 FedExCup Playoffs.

Scottie Scheffler has already conquered the Masters and the Paris Olympics this year. Now, it’s time to see if he can come through in the playoffs.

The FedExCup Playoffs have arrived with Scheffler leading the pack. While he dominated the tour in 2024, his performance over the next three tournaments will determine if he can end the season with a $25 million payday.

Scheffler will have some stiff competition among the 70 golfers who qualified for the FedExCup Playoffs. Xander Schauffele picked up two major titles this year by winning the PGA Championship and Open Championship, and Rory McIlroy is a three-time FedExCup champion.

Before the playoffs commence on Thursday with the FedEx St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind, let’s take a look at the playoff standings and the favorites to come out on top.
