This week’s Wyndham Championship is the final event of the FedExCup Regular Season, with just one week remaining until the start of the FedExCup Playoffs. New in 2023, only the top 70 in the FedExCup standings will qualify for the FedEx St. Jude Championship (the first Playoffs event), down from 125 (2009-2022).
Two players have qualified for the FedExCup Playoffs in each season since the inception of the FedExCup in 2007: Matt Kuchar, who enters the week No. 59 in the standings, and Adam Scott (No. 81). Scott needs a minimum of a two-way T9 to have a chance to move into the top 70 and a three-way T3 or better based on the TOUR's projection.

FEDEXCUP PLAYOFFS BUBBLE

There are a number of Aussies on the bubble to make the FedEx Cup playoffs. Jason Day sits at 11th and is  the only Aussie guaranteed a spot. Cam Davis sit precariously at #69 and needs to finish in a 2-way tie for 14th or better to make it.
The first finish listed next to the player's name below is the minimum finish required to have a chance to move into the top 70 in the FedExCup standings and qualify for the FedExCup Playoffs. The second finish is what he would need in order to qualify based on the TOUR's projection, which is based on historical trends and data. These numbers are meant as examples and guidelines rather than definitive ways to make the Playoffs.
Harrison Endycott, Cam Percy and Lucas Herbert need a win. No pressure!

Justin Thomas sits at No. 79 in the FedExCup standings and will make his first start at the Wyndham Championship since 2016 (MC), the site of his PGA TOUR debut in 2009 (T78) as a 16-year-old. The 15-time PGA TOUR winner is in his ninth season as a TOUR member and has never missed the Playoffs. He has advanced to the TOUR Championship in each of the last seven seasons and finished in the top 10 in the standings in the last six, including his FedExCup title in 2017. Thomas has three top-10s (his fewest in a season) in 19 starts and enters the week after consecutive missed cuts (The Open Championship, 3M Open). Thomas needs a solo-18th or better to have a chance to move into the top 70 and a 3-way T4 or better to reach the top 70 based on the TOUR's projection.
2023 Barracuda Championship winner Akshay Bhatia will be making his first start since becoming a full-time PGA TOUR member. With the win, Bhatia became eligible for the FedExCup Playoffs (if inside the top 70) and currently sits at No. 99. The last player to win in their first start as an official PGA TOUR member was Emiliano Grillo at the 2015 Fortinet Championship.
2019 Wyndham Championship winner J.T. Poston enters the week off a runner-up finish at last week's 3M Open. The last time Poston finished runner-up (2022 Travelers Championship), he went on to win the following week at the 2022 John Deere Classic.

Good luck to Cam Davis and Co!
