PGA Tour's FedEx Cup Playoffs start with key players to watch

Summary

The FedEx Cup Playoffs commence today at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. Among the players to monitor are Jordan Spieth, who seeks his first top-10 finish of the season, rookie Jackson Koivun, and FedEx points leader Scottie Scheffler. Spieth, ranked 54th in points, aims to advance by finishing at least tied for 25th. Koivun, entering the playoffs as the final player in the field, needs a seventh-place finish or better to move to the next round. Scheffler, holding a substantial lead in FedEx Cup points, looks to secure another victory to bolster his Player of the Year bid while managing expectations after only one win this season despite multiple top-10 finishes.
