Who was eliminated from golf's FedExCup Playoffs? Jordan Spieth leads list

Jordan Spieth, Keith Mitchell and Harris English were among the golfers eliminated from the PGA Tour's FedExCup Playoffs following the FedEx St. Jude.

Fifty golfers have advanced to the next round of the PGA Tour's FedExCup Playoffs, following the conclusion of the FedEx St. Jude Championship on Sunday, Aug. 16. Nevertheless, Keith Mitchell and Jordan Spieth were among the 20 players who were eliminated, as reported by USA TODAY.

Scottie Scheffler won the inaugural event of the playoffs in a commanding fashion, securing an eight-stroke victory at the TPC Southwind in Memphis, Tennessee. Mitchell began the week ranked 49th in the FedEx Cup standings, but he slipped two places to 51st after his performance in Memphis. Similarly, Spieth, who was 54th at the start of the week, dropped four spots to 52nd, failing to secure a top-50 position in the standings.

Other golfers who were eliminated from the FedExCup Playoffs include Max Homa, who suffered a three-stroke drop in the rankings, Harris English, who fell three places, and Harry Hall, who also experienced a three-stroke decline. The FedExCup Playoffs will continue with the BMW Championship in St. Louis, beginning on Aug. 20.
