Following the FedEx St. Jude Championship, only 50 players will head to Caves Valley Golf Club in Maryland for the second of the FedEx Cup Playoffs, the BMW Championship.
For those players, the chance to lift the FedEx Cup trophy after the Tour Championship at East Lake remains alive, but for others, the TPC Southwind event marked the end of the road for their chances.
Here are some of the biggest names left to consider what might have been after being knocked out following the opening event of the Playoffs.
Jordan Spieth

The three-time Major winner hasn’t had a bad season by any means, with top 10s in several events, including the WM Phoenix Open and the Memorial Tournament.
However, he didn’t do quite enough at the FedEx St. Jude Championship to scrape into the field for the BMW Championship.

Like Clark, Texas Children’s Houston Open champion Min Woo Lee was just above the line ahead of the tournament, in 50th.
However, he made a poor start with a six-over 76 in his opening round and couldn’t quite recover.
By the time the final round came along, he was the first to tee it up and playing solo, and judging by the speed of his round, just 2 hours 10 minutes, he was ready to call it a day.
In the end, that led to his best round of the week, a 70, but…
