With the first stage of the PGA Tour playoffs set to take place, the top-70 golfers in the FedEx Cup standings prepare for the FedEx St. Jude Championship, with the top-50 of the event qualifying for next week’s BMW Championship. You’re not likely to be shocked by this, but Scottie Scheffler is the favorite in the FedEx St. Jude Championship odds, with a whack of talent at the top of the oddsboard for bettors to consider. All 70 players will play the full four rounds of the tournament, meaning there is no FedEx St. Jude Championship projected cut line, which should encourage you to do a dive into the FedEx St. Jude Championship sleeper picks.
FedEx St. Jude Championship projected cut line latest
At most tournaments, the event will have a projected cut line, which usually allows the top-65/70 to advance to weekend play. The PGA Tour would offer an estimate of where that line would settle at, as would Data Golf. With the probabilities Data Golf provides, their percentages are usually quite accurate, which is extremely beneficial when trailing your cut line bet. However, since there isn’t a FedEx St. Jude Championship projected cut line, there will be no estimations to provide over the course of the event.

FedEx St. Jude Championship projected cut line FAQs
How is the cut line determined for the FedEx St. Jude Championship?
As the FedEx St. Jude Championship is one of three playoff tournaments, there will be no cut line during the event. The top-70 players will play the entirety of the four rounds, unless they are forced to withdraw for various reasons. After this tournament is complete, the top-50 will make it to the second stage of the playoffs.
What does it mean to make the cut in golf?
Making it past the cut line in golf tournaments is vital for advancing to the weekend rounds and gives players a chance to compete for prizes. Securing this pivotal accomplishment is necessary for staying in the running and aiming for monetary rewards in subsequent stages. Surpassing the cut line is essential for broadening opportunities for success and potential earnings for golfers.
Do you get paid if you miss the cut at the FedEx St. Jude Championship?
With the tournament lacking a projected cut line, it changes the usual process of how a tournament payout is structured. In most tournaments, if you miss the cut, it sends golfers home empty handed. Whereas at the FedEx St. Jude Championship, all 70 golfers will leave with some form of prize money.
