When does the 2026 FedExCup Playoffs start and where is the first event?

The first leg of the 2026 FedExCup Playoffs is the FedEx St. Jude Championship, contested August 11–17 at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. The top 70 players in the FedExCup standings after the regular season qualify, with the field cut to the top 50 for the BMW Championship at Caves Valley the following week, then to the top 30 for the TOUR Championship at East Lake.

Who is the favorite to win the 2026 FedEx St. Jude Championship?

Scottie Scheffler opens the 2026 FedEx St. Jude Championship as the +450 favorite, having spent most of the regular season at world number one and won two of his last four starts (GOLF.com, 2026-08-10). Rory McIlroy is back in the playoff field after missing all of the 2025 FedExCup postseason (AOL / Golf Channel syndication, 2026-08-11). Jordan Spieth and Max Homa are on the FedExCup bubble, while Brooks Koepka, Tony Finau and Jason Day missed the cut to 70.

What graphic tees hold up best for a 2026 FedExCup Playoffs capsule?

Four tiers hold up across playoff-weekend viewers and streetwear-first buyers, and across the BMW Championship week: a tournament-chest mark of the FedEx St. Jude logo or TPC Southwind clubhouse silhouette; a 'PLAYOFFS 2026' wordmark in a clean condensed sans; a Memphis-local print of the Hernando de Soto bridge, the St. Jude partnership mark, or the Mississippi River bend; and a postseason evergreen with a FedExCup trophy silhouette or a 'POSTSEASON' type-only graphic. All four work in a streetwear rotation and age better than generic golf type or large front-print dates.

Why is the FedExCup Playoffs a different streetwear moment than a regular PGA Tour event?

For 49 weeks a year, golf apparel lives on a pro-shop shelf: tournament polos in technical poly-blend, sold through country-club channels. The FedExCup Playoffs is the one weekend when golf streetwear breaks free of the pro-shop aesthetic. The four-day playoff window concentrates the entire Tour's top-70 in one place, with TV coverage from CBS, ESPN and Golf Channel across two weekends, and the playoff polos and off-course streetwear become visible to streetwear-first buyers. The merch table is visible, the playoff polos are visible, and the capsule window is roughly seven days from the first tee to the BMW Championship.
