With 33 tournaments in the books, the PGA Tour has arrived in Greensboro, North Carolina, for its regular-season finale, the Wyndham Championship at Sedgefield Country Club.
This event serves as the last chance for players to qualify for the 70-man FedExCup Playoffs, which begin next week in Memphis.
Most of the current top 70 have already locked up their playoff positions, which explains why just three players in the top 20 — Cameron Young, Ryan Gerard and Alex Fitzpatrick — are competing in the Wyndham.
No. 113 Keita Nakajima is the only player ranked Nos. 61-125 not in this week’s 147-player field.
Each of the top 59 players in points have mathematically locked up their spots in the playoff opener, while No. 60 Shane Lowry, who isn’t playing Wyndham, is virtually certain to remain inside the top 70.
Jackson Koivun, who turned pro early last month after an 11-win career at Auburn and won the 3M Open two weeks ago, sits right on the bubble, at No. 70, less than 12 points ahead of No. 71 Mac Meissner.
No. 69 Steven Fisk has a bigger cushion of approximately 27 points, while No. 65 Aldrich Potgieter is nearly 45 points ahead of Meissner and is unlikely to fall out. Basically, everyone from Ricky Castillo and lower still have some work to do.
As for everyone outside the top 70, here is a look at the minimum finishes required at Wyndham to have a chance at qualifying for the playoffs. Keep in mind that it will likely require more than these minimum finishes.
