Jordan Spieth’s season is set to end after the three-time major champion bogeyed the final hole of the FedEx St. Jude Championship, leaving him a projected 54th in the FedExCup standings. Only the top 50 advance to next week’s BMW Championship and gain entry into all 2026 PGA Tour Signature Events. Chris Kirk, Rickie Fowler and J.T. Poston clung to the last three qualifying positions at Nos. 48-50, while South African teenager Aldrich Potgieter slipped to 52nd despite a closing birdie. Players ranked 51-70 retain conditional status but miss the lucrative postseason stages. Separately, LIV Golf’s stop in Chicago heads to extra holes after Jon Rahm, Jose Luis Ballester and Dean Burmester finished regulation tied for the lead. Torque GC and Stinger GC will contest a team playoff at Rich Harvest Farms.
