Playoff showdown. Hoygard’s Ricky Fowler battle for FedEx Cup spots at Windham. As we approach the Windham Championship, we find ourselves at the concluding week of the PGA Tours regular season. This event held at the picturesque Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, North Carolina, is not just another tournament. It’s a pivotal moment for many players as they vy for a coveted spot in the FedEx Cup playoffs. While the pressure to maintain one’s position on the tour extends into the fall, the primary narrative this week revolves around which golfers will secure their places in the playoffs. As we head into the Windom, every competitor from the top ranked Scotty Sheffller down to the 57th ranked Stefan Joerger is mathematically assured of finishing within the top 70 in points by the end of Sunday. However, those ranked outside this threshold still have significant challenges ahead with varying degrees of difficulty. Take Aaron Ry for instance, who is currently positioned at number 58 in the point standings. He appears to be in a secure spot for the upcoming playoff opener, the St. Jude Championship. But there exists a rare and unlikely scenario that could potentially exclude him. To ensure his qualification, Rice simply needs to finish in solo 50th place or better. Interestingly, M Hughes, ranked number 59, is the only player among those ranked 58 to 96 who will not be participating in the Windom. Meanwhile, Billy Horchel, currently at number 97, is still on the mend from hip surgery. And Ali Tosti, ranked number 110, is another notable player not competing this week who is outside the playoff picture. At the moment, Matt Schmid holds the precarious position of being the bubble player at number 70 with just a slim margin of four points, separating him from Nikolai Hoggard, who is ranked number 71. Schmid is trailing Ben Anne, who sits at number 69 with 595.434 points. But there is a more substantial gap between an and here’s a quick overview of the players ranked from 60 to 70. 60 Tony Fenow. 61 Ricky Fowler. 62 Davis Riley. 63 Tevin Yu. 64 Eric Van Royan. 65 Nicoa 66 Ameliano Rillo 67 Cam Davis 68 Patrick Rogers 69 Ben Anne 70 Mattie Schmid. Both Feno and Fowler have the opportunity to secure their playoff spots without needing assistance from others, provided they finish in solo 23rd and 12th places, respectively. For those players currently outside the top 70, here’s a breakdown of the minimum finishes they need to achieve in order to qualify for the playoffs. Although better results may be necessary. RK player min finish min pts 71 Nikolai Hodgegard 2-way T63 4.221 72 Keith Mitchell 2-way T-58 5.295 73 Chris Kirk 43rd 12.5474 Christian Dutenhau 36th 19504 Gary Woodland 27th 32.471 471 76 Kevin Roy. For all other competitors ranked below number 120, the only path to playoff qualification is through a victory at this tournament. Notably, Crisal Del Solar, ranked number 176, is the first player in the field who has already been eliminated from postseason contention. This week is not just about the competition. It’s a dramatic culmination of the season where every stroke counts and the stakes are incredibly high. Who do you think will rise to the occasion and secure their playoff spot?
