It's FedEx Cup Playoffs time folks and things are heating up out in Memphis this week for the start of the tour's postseason. Scottie Scheffler leads the pack as number one in the FedEx Cup standings after an incredible campaign, but he'll have his work cut out battling this stacked field at TPC Southwind.

Viktor Hovland is back to defend his FedEx Cup title. No easy task for the big Norwegian but he's playing well enough to give it a real go. And they'll have to go through the likes of Rory McIlroy, Xander Schauffele, Collin Morikawa, Wyndham Clark, Ludvig Åberg, Sahith Theegala, Hideki Matsuyama, Sungjae Im to get it done - it really is a who's who of golf talent teeing it up.

Reigning champion Lucas Glover missed the cut to 70th in points so he won't be back to try and do it again.
