The PGA Tour FedEx Cup Playoffs begin on Aug. 7 with the FedEx St. Jude Championship at the TPC Southwind in Memphis. Except No. 2 Rory McIlroy, all of the players among the top 70 on the points list are present and ready to go. Cameron Young's victory last week in the Wyndham Championship capped the regular season.

Points then decreased in each tournament based on finishing positioning, with only players who made the cut at each tournament earning points. During the first two FedEx Cup playoff events, however, winners will take home 2,000 points, which allows lower-rated golfers a chance to make up ground.

The FedEx Cup Playoffs get underway this week, with the best PGA Tour players competing. Here's a full preview for the three-week competition.
