“With the completion of the last Major of the year, we’re up next," said Joe Tomek, Executive Director, FedEx St. Jude Championship.
 
"And so the next big event and next big moment for our players is the playoffs.
 
“You know there’s an added drama that we haven’t experienced here before. Only those that qualify through the FedexCup points system qualify and make it here," he continued. 
 
"There’s no exemptions, there’s no special invitations, it’s the top-125, full stop."
 
Vijay Singh is the most decorated golfer in the history of The Northern Trust having won four titles in 1993, 1995, 2006 and 2008.
