Scottie Scheffler heads into the PGA Tour's postseason as the clear No. 1 seed, with the FedEx Cup playoffs set to kick off at the St. Jude Championship for the top 70 players from the season standings. The playoffs will see the leading 50 players after this week advance to the BMW Championship, with the top 30 ultimately reaching the season finale at the Tour Championship.
Despite an impressive season that includes victories at the Masters, an Olympic gold medal, The Players Championship, and four other significant events, Scheffler remains cautious about his chances at the FedEx Cup and its $25 million bonus. The unpredictable nature of the playoffs means that regardless of his prior achievements or performance in the next two weeks, Scheffler can only start the Tour Championship with a two-shot lead.
