Scottie Scheffler leads the PGA rankings in 2025 – having won this event in 2024 – with The Open and PGA Championship victor having won four tour events overall in 2025, while Rory McIlroy is in second after a season that saw him win the Masters along with two more PGA events.

In an effort to reduce his overall workload on the season, Masters champion Rory McIlroy decided not to play in this week's St. Jude Championship at TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. As such, the first leg of the FedEx Cup Playoffs will run with 69 of the top 70 players in the world -- McIlroy the lone missing piece from the start of the three-week postseason.
