Daniel Berger will not play this week meaning that the field for the first FedExCup playoff event will be 69.
Berger finished No.60 in the points race, despite not contesting any of the last three PGA Tour events following The Open due to persistent injury struggles.
There won’t be a replacement for Berger at this week’s event in Memphis, as the playoff events don’t allow for altenates.
The FedEx St Jude Championship is a no cut event, with the top 50 in the standings progressing to next week’s BMW Championship at Bellerive Golf Course.
For South African fans, all eyes will be on Aldrich Potgieter – who despite leading the tour in driving distance this season -will need at least a three-Way tie of seventh to get into the second event.
Potgieter starts this week at 67th following the normal season play.
