Wyndham Championship Decides Who Reaches the FedEx Cup Playoffs

Tightly packed points have left rookie Jackson Koivun clinging to the final No. 70 playoff spot after late roster changes.

Overview

  • The Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield is the final regular‑season event and the top 70 in FedEx Cup points after the week will advance to the FedEx St. Jude Championship.
  • Rookie Jackson Koivun occupies the No. 70 'bubble' spot entering the week and can be displaced by several players because the points gaps around the cutoff are very small.
  • Michael Thorbjornsen’s Rocket Classic victory vaulted him well inside the playoff positions, and he withdrew from Wyndham to rest, triggering one of several late roster replacements in the field.
  • High‑profile players such as Brooks Koepka face steep climbs to reach the top 70 because of recent withdrawals, injury trouble and low standings, while veterans like Keegan Bradley and Jason Day are also chasing spots.
  • Expect significant movement on Sunday at Sedgefield because a strong finish can move players into the top 70, and those who advance will head to TPC Southwind with the season narrowing to the top 50 and then the top 30 for later playoff rounds.
