2025 FedEx Cup: Standings, Schedule, Leaderboard, and Prize Money

Overview of the 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs

The 2025 PGA Tour regular season has concluded, marking the beginning of an exciting new chapter in the FedEx Cup Playoffs. While there may be some similarities to previous years, this year's postseason promises to be unique in its own right. A new format for the Tour Championship and additional opportunities for players who meet specific criteria make this year’s playoffs more than just about the big prizes.

The FedEx Cup bonus pool remains at $100 million, with the winner of the final event, the Tour Championship, receiving a staggering $10 million. The playoff events include the Wyndham Championship, BMW Championship, and the Tour Championship itself. Qualifying for East Lake is a key milestone for successful seasons, but advancing to the BMW Championship offers players the chance to secure their playing schedules for the following year. Those who make it past the second round will have access to all eight signature events in 2026, giving them more flexibility in their tournament choices.

2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs Schedule

The playoffs begin with the St. Jude Championship, where the top 70 golfers from the regular season compete. This week, the field includes notable names like Scottie Scheffler and Rory McIlroy, although McIlroy has opted out of the event. The schedule for the playoffs is as follows:

• FedEx St. Jude Championship: August 7–10, Memphis, Tenn., TPC Southwind (70 players)
• BMW Championship: August 14–17, Owings Mills, Md., Caves Valley (50 players)
• Tour Championship: August 21–24, Atlanta, Ga., East Lake Golf Club (30 players)

All three events are 72-hole stroke-play tournaments, with the field shrinking as the playoffs progress. Points are also adjusted, with the first-place finisher in the first two playoff events earning 2,000 points, which is four times the usual amount. This increase applies to all positions on the leaderboard, making the early rounds particularly competitive.

2025 FedEx Cup Standings

Despite missing a significant portion of the regular season due to injury, Scottie Scheffler remains the clear leader in the FedEx Cup standings. Even if he finishes last in the St. Jude Championship, he will still hold the top position going into the BMW Championship. Rory McIlroy, who has skipped the event, is not in contention, leaving Scheffler with a strong lead over other competitors.

Only eight golfers surpassed the 2,000-point threshold during the regular season: Scottie Scheffler, Rory McIlroy, Sepp Straka, Russell Henley, Justin Thomas, Ben Griffin, Harris English, and J.J. Spaun. Scheffler leads the pack by over 2,200 points, while McIlroy trails him by nearly 1,400 points.

The top 50 after the St. Jude Championship advance to the BMW Championship, and the top 30 move on to the Tour Championship. Here is a look at the top 30 players entering the playoffs:

| Rank | Golfer (points) | |------|------------------------| | 1 | Scottie Scheffler (4,806) | | 2 | Rory McIlroy (3,444) | | 3 | Sepp Straka (2,595) | | 4 | Russell Henley (2,391) | | 5 | Justin Thomas (2,280) | | 6 | Ben Griffin (2,275) | | 7 | Harris English (2,232) | | 8 | J.J. Spaun (2,144) | | 9 | Tommy Fleetwood (1,783) | | 10 | Keegan Bradley (1,749) | | 11 | Maverick McNealy (1,672) | | 12 | Andrew Novak (1,625) | | 13 | Corey Conners (1,620) | | 14 | Ludvig Åberg (1,559) | | 15 | Robert MacIntyre (1,488) | | 16 | Cameron Young (1,464) | | 17 | Shane Lowry (1,438) | | 18 | Nick Taylor (1,438) | | 19 | Collin Morikawa (1,427) | | 20 | Brian Harman (1,413) | | 21 | Hideki Matsuyama (1,309) | | 22 | Chris Gotterup (1,306) | | 23 | Patrick Cantlay (1,275) | | 24 | Sam Burns (1,266) | | 25 | Justin Rose (1,220) | | 26 | Viktor Hovland (1,210) | | 27 | Lucas Glover (1,191) | | 28 | Sam Stevens (1,182) | | 29 | Sungjae Im (1,172) | | 30 | Daniel Berger (1,167) |

2025 Tour Championship Format

This year, the Tour Championship will be played without the staggered start format that was used since 2019. Previously, the top-ranked player started at 10 under par with a two-stroke advantage over the next player. This year, all 30 qualifiers will start at even par, creating a level playing field. While this change removes some of the excitement from the earlier stages, it ensures that every player has an equal opportunity to win the title.

Prize Money Breakdown

The prize money for the 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs is substantial, with the St. Jude Championship offering $3.6 million to the winner. The BMW Championship also features a $3.6 million purse, while the Tour Championship has a total payout of $100 million, with the winner taking home $10 million. Here is a breakdown of the top 10 payouts at the Tour Championship:

• 1st: $10 million
