The 4th place finisher at the FedEx St. Jude Championship is the 2024 Paris Olympic gold medalist Scottie Scheffler (USA), with a total score of -14 strokes.

Immediately after the FedEx St. Jude Championship, the 50 golfers who will advance to the BMW Championship have been determined. Among these 50, there are most of the strongest golfers in the world today, on the PGA Tour, such as the group of golfers with the above rankings, along with former world number one Rory McIlroy (Northern Ireland), former world number two Collin Morikawa (USA).

In addition, former FedEx Cup play-off champion Patrick Cantlay (USA), as well as very strong golfers such as Tony Finau (USA), or Sam Burns (USA) all won the right to continue.
