In 2023, Lucas Glover won the final of the regular season to jump from the outside of the Top 110 in the points race in the playoffs. He capitalized by winning next week when opening the playoffs in Memphis.
The previous year, Tom Kim of South Korea was announced by winning the Wyndham at 21 to qualify for the playoffs.
Some big players would like to join this list at the Wyndham 2025 championship from Thursday at the Sedgefield Country Club in Greensboro, NC
The 70 best players in the Fedex Cup ranking after this week will qualify for the Fedex St. Jude championship in Memphis. The current n ° 70 is Matti Schmid of Germany; Some notable names just behind him include the young Danish Nicolai Hojgaard, Keith Mitchell, Chris Kirk and Gary Woodland.
The Australian veteran Adam Scott finds himself 85th in the ranking and needs a very high finish to jump in the Top 70.
“I have the impression that my game has been quite good since May, so I need to be a little on the foot before, I cannot sit while waiting for this to happen,” said Scott. “I have a few days to put myself in the running for the weekend. Yeah, I feel confident with my game that I can do.
Scott called Sedgefield “one of the big pieces on the tour”. The course has organized this event since 2008. One par-70, it will play 7,131 long yards this week and will test the field with its little Greens.
Scott was in the Six Summons here in 2021, won by Kevin Kisner. He was tied for the biggest playoffs in the history of the PGA Tour.
“It would be fun to be in the mixture this weekend, and I also have injuries open a few years ago in this playoff series, so it would be fun to change this,” said Scott.
Tony Finau (n ° 60) and Rickie Fowler (n ° 61) are not guaranteed to make the playoffs, so they play this week in order to maximize their distance from the cutting line.
Finau and Fowler are also veterans of the Ryder Cup, and there are only a few opportunities to impress the American captain Keegan Bradley, who has six captain to make this fall.
There is a plethora of fresh faces that Bradley could consider who experienced better seasons than Finau and Fowler. Take Ben Griffin, currently ninth in the qualification classification of the American team. Griffin won his first two PGA Tour victories this spring and is seventh in the Fedex Cup race, the highest of anyone in the Wyndham field.
“I have the impression that (the Ryder Cup) mentioned every day, so it is always in my mind that I want it to be or not,” said Griffin, from Chapel Hill, NC nearby “… If I do the right things every week, and this particular week if I play very well and that I focus on every week of the week. Or no matter, that will not help me.”
Another veteran of the Ryder Cup who hopes that his game ends in good time, Jordan Spieth is a big fan of the August calendar to come, from this week.
“This is one of the best songs we play all year round,” said Spieth. “In addition, while we are looking at next week, the first eliminatory event, there are a lot of similarities in these grainy bermudes and things like that.”
