The PGA Tour’s regular season is officially over.
Cameron Young wrapped up the year with a dominant six-shot win at the Wyndham Championship on Sunday. That marked his inaugural Tour win, and made him the 1,000th unique winner in Tour history.

Now all eyes will turn to the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, which marks the first of three playoffs 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.
Those who make it that far will also earn an automatic entry into the eight signature events on Tour next season. From there, the top 30 will qualify for the Tour Championship at East Lake in Atlanta. That tournament is set to kick off on Aug. 21, and will feature a traditional start this season, rather than the staggered starting strokes format it’s used in the past.
Though not everyone on Tour will actually compete in Memphis — Rory McIlroy is skipping that event, for example — the race for the FedExCup is now on. Here’s a look at where things stand entering TPC Southwind, and who needs to make a big move to keep their postseason hopes alive for more than just a single week.

FedExCup standings: Just inside the bubble
As of Sunday, August 3
Before play kicks off in Tennessee, this group is into the second event already. But a bad week for right on the cusp, like Jordan Spieth, Wyndham Clark and Si Woo Kim, would take them out of the running quickly.

FedExCup standings: Outside looking in
As of Sunday, August 3
This group needs to at least make the weekend in Memphis, if not pick up a very impressive finish, in order to keep their postseason hopes alive and make it into the BMW Championship. J.T. Poston, though, is roughly a point back from Lee. If anyone is going to pull off a move here, he’s in the best spot to do it.
