Rory McIlroy makes his 2025 FedEx Cup Playoffs debut this week at the BMW Championship -- a week later than everyone else in the field. The world No. 2 returns for his first competitive outing since The Open (hosted in his home country of Northern Ireland), playing in the United States for the first time in two months.

Rory McIlroy didn't budge an inch in the FedEx Cup standings after skipping last week's playoff event, but he said even if he had dropped significantly, it wouldn't have made him rethink his decision to take the week off.
