The FedExCup Playoffs begin next week in Memphis and when they do 70 players will do battle over a few weeks time in the name of rising above them all like Tommy Fleetwood last year.
FedExCup Playoffs: Bubble players to watch at Wyndham Championship
The Wyndham Championship is an important event for two well-known PGA Tour players
While matters are essentially tended to, this week’s Wyndham Championship offers the final opportunity for PGA Tour players to punch their ticket into the proverbial tournament. As noted there are 70 players who reach the playoffs and it stands to reason that those on the bubble want a good showing in North Carolina.
Of all players currently ranked 60-80 in the FedExCup standings, only Shane Lowry (number 60 on the dot) is not in the field this week. He must feel like he is fairly safe.
Here are the standings at the moment of that particular group:
60. Shane Lowry
61. Nick Taylor
62. Harry Hall
63. Brian Harman
64. Patrick Rodgers
65. Aldrich Potgieter
66. Ricky Castillo
67. Matti Schmid
68. Jordan Smith
69. Steven Fisk
70. Jackson Koivun
A reminder that the top 70 players advance.
71. Mac Meissner
72. Keegan Bradley
73. Andrew Putnam
74. Johnny Keefer
75. Jason Day
76. Austin Smotherman
77. Stephan Jaeger
78. David Lipsky
79. Tom Hoge
80. Matt Wallace
There are two names that stand out in terms of those yet to qualify: Keegan Bradley and Jason Day. It will be important to them to finish well at the Wyndham in the name of getting inside the top 70.
We will see what happens.
