The top 50 after four rounds at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee, will make it to the BMW Championship at Caves Valley Golf Club in Maryland. The top 30, thereafter, will be eligible for the Tour Championship at East Lake Golf Club in Atlanta.

Now all eyes will turn to the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, which marks the first of three playoff events. The top 70 golfers in the standings after the Wyndham Championship earned entry into the postseason. Then, after the first stop, the top 50 golfers in the standings will earn a spot in the BMW Championship the following week.

The reigning Masters champion wasn't in the St. Jude field released by the PGA Tour on Friday. The top 70 in the FedEx Cup standings after the conclusion of this week's Wyndham Championship will qualify for the event, so with McIlroy's absence, the field in Memphis, Tennessee, next week will stand at 69.
