PGA Tour players on FedEx Cup playoffs bubble. Last regular season event left. The clock is ticking for PGA Tour players as they enter the final stretch of the regular season with only one event left before the FedEx Cup playoffs kickoff. The stakes are high and the competition is fierce as golfers jockey for a spot in the top 70 of the FedEx Cup standings to secure a coveted position in the FedEx St. Jude Championship in Memphis, Tennessee. But here’s the thing. This year, only 70 players will make the cut. A significant reduction from the 125 who made it in previous years. The pressure is on and the margin for error is slim. The top 50 players who emerge from the FedEx St. Jude Championship, scheduled to take place from August 7th to 10th, will then qualify for the BMW Championship at Caves Valley in Maryland from August 14th to 17th. And finally, the top 30 will head to Atlanta and East Lake for the Tour Championship from August 21st to 24th. At the recent 3M Open, Kurt Kityama made a stunning leap up the FedEx Cup rankings to number 53 after claiming his second PGA Tour victory. However, other players on the bubble are facing an uphill battle to make the playoffs and they’ll need to bring their agame to the Windom Championship if they hope to stay in the running. So, who are the players to watch and what do they need to do to make the cut? Let’s take a closer look at the FedEx Cup point standings and examine the prospects of some notable names. As we delve into the standings, the question on everyone’s mind is can Schmid retain his position or will Hogard or someone else make a late surge to overtake him? And then there are the big names outside the top 70 including Keith Mitchell, Chris Kirk, Gary Woodland, and Adam Scott, who is facing an uphill battle to make the playoffs after being 150 points behind the cutoff. Scott has only missed the FedEx Cup playoffs once in his career. So, he’ll need a top-notch performance at the Windham Championship to turn his fortunes around. But here’s where it gets controversial. Should the FedEx Cup playoffs be more inclusive, allowing more players to compete, or is the current format the right way to go? And this is the part most people miss. The FedEx Cup playoffs are not just about the golf. They’re also about the strategy, the mental toughness, and the ability to perform under pressure. As we watch the drama unfold, we can’t help but ask, what do you think? Should the PGA Tour consider expanding the playoffs, or do you think the current format is the way to go? Let us know in the comments. The FedEx Cup playoffs are shaping up to be an exciting and unpredictable ride full of twists and turns that will keep us on the edge of our seats. So, who will make the cut and who will be left behind? Only time will tell, but one thing is certain. The next few days will be a wild ride for PGA Tour fans. Windom Championship preview. final PGA Tour regular season battle for FedEx Cup playoff spots. For 156 golfers, this isn’t just another tournament. It’s the final desperate shot at saving their season, securing their job, and chasing a dream. Welcome to the Windom Championship, the dramatic conclusion to the PGA Tours FedEx Cup regular season. While the official power rankings may point to Nikolai Hoggard as a favorite, the real story this week is the immense multi-layered pressure cooker that is Sedgefield Country Club. This event is a fascinating liveaction study in how athletes perform when everything is on the line. While the ultimate fantasy for every player teeing it up is to hoist the trophy on Sunday, that’s just one of many potential victories being fought for this week. For most of the field, the goals are far more pragmatic and immediate. As we dive into the specifics of what the hopefuls can expect in Greensboro, North Carolina, you’ll see that this tournament is a complex chess match where every shot carries the weight of a player’s future. Sedgefield Country Club has a unique and storied role in the modern PGA Tour. Since taking over hosting duties in 2008, it has become the definitive gatekeeper for the FedEx Cup playoffs. Think of it as the stern bouncer at the door of golf’s most exclusive party. For the third consecutive year, that door only opens for the top 70 players in the point standings, who will then advance to the three event playoff series with a chance to become the FedEx Cup champion. The intensity is palpable with virtually every player from 60th Tony Fenow to 96th Bo Hustler in the standings committed to playing creating a tense bubble atmosphere. Of course, winning the Windom comes with a treasure trove of rewards, 500 FedEx Cup points, a PGA Tour exemption through at least 2027, and a host of other life-changing perks. But here’s where it gets controversial. A victory doesn’t automatically punch your ticket to the playoffs. It is a brutal mathematical reality of the point system that a player ranked 175th or lower can have the week of their life, hoist the trophy, and still be on the outside looking in when the playoff field is set. For them, the secondary goal becomes bolstering their position to finish inside the top 100 at the conclusion of the upcoming FedEx Cup fall, which would secure their playing privileges for the 2026 season. And this is the part most people miss. The drama extends even further down the ranks. For players in the reshuffle category, a group that includes recent cornfy tour graduates, DP World Tour members, and Q school qualifiers, this week is a final frantic opportunity. It’s the last event before their priority ranking.
